Happy Fathers Day..with man food..grrrrrr

The way to a mans heart is through his stomach..right? Well letting him sleep in on Fathers Day helps as well. And just figures the kids got up at 6:30..so there was no sleeping in for me. Keeping them quite so their daddy could sleep a little later than usual was another issue for me!Well […]

Banana Bread Perfected!!! (in my opinion)

I know I know..People can get really defensive about their own Banana Bread. But I have tasted some peoples(who will remain nameless) who claim theirs is the best..and only when I tasted it I wish I had a dog to slide it under the table to! My mom gave me a basic banana bread recipe […]

Like the purse size tissues, breath spray, finger nail files, eyeglass screwdrivers, as seen on TV furniture movers and oh yeah, those damn Food […]

Just good ol’ Strawberry Cake
