My Guelita is a fabulous cook. She is also notorious for her giving nature. Anyone who stops to visit goes home laden with food. I have fond memories of visiting as a child “helping” Guelito roll the tortilla dough into balls while Guelita rolled them flat and cooked them on a huge griddle. I think […]
Thanks and Giving
Autumn is my favorite time of year. One of the main reasons is because I LOVE Thanksgiving. I think it’s wonderful to celebrate all the bounteous goodness God has blessed us with. To gather round with family and friends and enjoy good food and great company. It also helps that Thanksgiving is not so commercialized […]

Handmade Pledge
The holiday season is almost here. Can you believe that? I’m already behind. Usually I try to have all the Christmas gifts, Christmas cards, and other stuff like that completed by the end of October so I can sit back and enjoy the holidays without most of the stress. This year we are doing everything […]
Changed my Signature
My good friend Marmee accidentally clicked on my old signature (at the bottom of my posts) when she was trying to click on something else in her feed reader. Now I knew that clicking on the signature would take you to the site where I created the signature. What I did not know, however, was […]
Paella
My grandfather, Avi, was from Barcelona, Spain. One of the things he loved to do was cook authentic Spanish dishes for friends and family. When I was getting ready to go to college he invited me over to his house for a cooking lesson. Avi wanted to make sure I learned the proper way to […]
Chocolate Pancakes
Yesterday was Fudge’s 6th birthday. She requested Chocolate Pancakes in the shape of a heart for her birthday breakfast. Her aunt had made some the last time we went to visit family in Fallon. I had to call her up to get the recipe knowing it wouldn’t be an exact thing. Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s youngest […]

Buttermilk Rolls
This recipe comes from my sister-in-law’s mother. Don’t let the picture fool you. It makes the best dinner rolls and sweet rolls. The recipe is HUGE so you can cut it in half if you don’t want to make so many rolls. I like to make half the dough into dinner rolls and the other […]
Art – Eric Carle Style
Last week was rather wretched for us. What with running into town several times for doctor visits, blood work and all the emotional and physical ups and downs that accompany a miscarriage (11 weeks along this time) our school work was the bare bones. Essentials were accomplished but not much else. On Wednesday I decided […]
Not-So-French French Bread
We love bread at our house. All types, all flavors. This french bread recipe is easy and produces three loaves of yummy french bread. I call it Not-So-French French Bread because the recipe doesn’t require the usual overnight rising time that true french bread calls for. As a result this bread is less yeasty tasting […]

Show Me the Money!
Do you pay your kids an allowance or do they get paid for doing extra jobs around the house? My kids get paid for doing extra jobs that we’ve agreed on ahead of time and the older girls get paid for babysitting. We don’t give them an allowance but they each have a savings account […]
