What do you do when you have too many potatoes and you don’t want them to go bad? You have a potato-cooking day! That’s exactly what I did. For some reason, I didn’t get around to cooking the bag of potatoes and they were going to go bad. So, I began cooking. I decided to make two types of potatoes today…….fried and oven-baked. Why? Just in case somebody wanted there potatoes more healthier or

For my daughter’s birthday, she bought a foam hand soap at Dollar Tree. She loves this store. My child takes after me. She loves getting the most for her money. Now, that she has managed to use it up in a month or so, she wanted a new one. I think that she really just likes the foam effect landing in her hands. However, all her
Turn Your Girl Scouts Vest Into A Pillow!

My daughter will become a Cadette next year. So, I decided to make her Junior vest into a pillow that she could keep on her bed to remember the memories. It will end up hanging in the closet just like her Brownie vest if I don’t. I was searching online for other vests that were turned into pillows. I found a couple of Daisy vests that were
Yummy Bite-Size Ice Cream!
June 2, 2013 by 31 Comments
Today, I decided that I would make some ice cream bites with the remainder of the ice cream in the refrigerator. I like ice cream. Some people in my house love ice cream. I normally like ice cream in small doses instead of a bowl of ice cream. So, this seemed like the ideal thing to make today. However, when you’re working with ice
How to Make Homemade Biscuits
May 26, 2013 by 36 Comments
Today, I decided to make homemade biscuits. Let me just say that I do not like thick biscuits. I’m the person that would cut out some of the middle of the biscuit if it has too much bread in the middle. It’s obvious that I like the top of the biscuit and the bottom of the biscuit. So, I have perfected this biscuit recipe to make it a thinner

(This is the same dress that I have on in the above picture. The pic on the left was taken when I got up in the morning with no makeup, hair not combed and way too much light in the room. The second pic is the after dress. You guessed it…I combed my hair, made up my face and took this pic at night with a flash. Everyone looks good
How To Make Homemade Dishwasher Detergent Cubes
April 10, 2013 by 128 Comments
I definitely enjoyed trying this! How neat! I must say that this is one of my How-To favorites. Why? Well, this one comes in really handy for me. We don’t use the dishwasher to wash dishes that often. I, or the kids, normally do them by hand. So, I don’t usually buy a lot of dishwasher detergent. (That’s an item that is quite expensive.) We have

I was back in the kitchen again. My kids told me that I was supposed to bake them chocolate chip cookies last week. Well, of course, I used some of the chocolate chips in the Edible Flowerpot Cake and didn’t think that they would remember about the cookies. Of course, they did. So, my daughter, London, was in the kitchen early this
