I love cooking for the holidays. I have all of my traditional dishes that I have to cook every year (or it wouldn’t be the holidays!). My meal includes ham, a family-favorite potato dish, jello, rolls, beans, salad, and pies. Feeding my own family of 7 is pricey enough, but adding friends and family for…
Mad Hippie: Is This Poetry, Dude?
Quick review in six-word sentences: Mad Hippie’s Repair Butter smells phenomenal. (Or should I have said “phenomenally”?) Fights against damage while building resilience. I’m talking about skin, of course. Nourishes, conditions, diminishes lines and wrinkles. . PS–Mad Hippie sent me a free sample of their repair butter to try out!
Out To Dinner
When I was anticipating my oldest daughter coming of babysitting age, I had dreams of spur-of-the-moment dates with CandyMan on weekday nights. It would be SO easy, and so cheap! No babysitter to schedule, pick up, drop off, and PAY. It would be heaven! We could go on two dates a week, go out to…

Brazilian Chicken and Shrimp Soup
When the box containing my new Cuisinart’s Rice-Plus™ Multi-Cooker arrived at our house, we were in the middle of dinner. The kids, as to be expected, immediately left their seats to come see what was inside the enormous package. I assured them that they would not be as excited about what was in the box…
