Strawberry Shortcake, or Not
I think I first saw this idea on Pinterest. Cake mix in the waffle iron. Genius! And so many possibilities. I decided to make strawberry shortcake, with yellow cake, strawberry pie filling, and Cool Whip. Simply make the cake mix as directed on the package and cook in the waffle iron. I didn’t pay attention to …
Pork Loin Roast
This recipe is not new, but a family favorite. I got it from my mom several years ago, but I do not know the original source. It is ridiculously easy for how delicious it is. All you need: 1/2 cup chopped onion 3 T butter 6 cloves garlic, chopped 1 tsp salt 1 tsp pepper …
Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!
I’m always looking for new ways to fix chicken. But my kids are kind of picky, and my husband doesn’t always like something different, so it’s hard. A few days ago, I found a recipe for crock pot Italian chicken. But I didn’t have everything I needed on hand to make that particular recipe, so I …

Or…well, you get the picture. Actually, you can’t have a picture because they vanished so quickly. I intended to make chocolate chip cookies, but …
Hello, 2012!
Wow, another year gone already! Time flies when you’re having fun. Or getting old. Or something like that. Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and it’s time to crystallize my vague goals and get them down on “paper” and start holding myself accountable, so here goes. Organizing my home: This has to …
Therewith to be Content
I have taken the title for my new blog from one of my favorite Bible verses, Philippians 4:11. “1Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.” I like to think that this kind of encapsulates my outlook on life. For the most …
