As promised...though a bit later to post than I had originally planned, the recipe that I promised to post for something...yummy! LOL! I love donuts, when I was pregnant with D-man I craved glazed ones! So, the other night I decided that I wanted to give making donuts for the kids' breakfast, a shot. The only time I have ever tried to make doughnuts was by using the refrigerated biscuits, and while they were good, I really wanted to try from scratch. However, I had to find a recipe that…

When I worked in our elementary school district, one of the most heartbreaking things I dealt with were the kids who came to school hungry.  Our school didn’t offer a lunch program, but it wouldn’t have mattered anyway.  Our school didn’t have “cooking” equipment.  We basically only had ovens to heat up processed…

I love Chinese food but hate the way you usually feel afterwards.  Sometimes I get an…

Yep I went out and bought one.  First let me say that since I went out and bought this, I can give a review of good or bad thoughts.  Nutri Bullet did not contact me and ask me to post a review or offer to send me one in return for a review.  But I would have taken it.

Anyway, it cost $99 and some tax. I’ve been doing a lot of juicing and smoothie making here of lately.  As I mentioned before, the older I get the healthier I would like to be.  Juicing does make a difference,…

I adore Rice Pudding. I made some a few days ago and my house smelled absolutely amazing! My Mum used to make this all the time when I was growing up; I can't get it quite like hers though... I wish I could because I have never tasted another quite like it!



I think it's down to the cream... In England there are lot's of different thicknesses of cream available to buy. You can buy Single Cream, Double Cream, Whipping Cream (Heavy Cream) or my personal favorite, Clotted Cream…

One of my absolute favorite things to eat for breakfast since moving to America... Well actually, any time of day really! Is Sausage Gravy and Biscuits. It is SO delicious and I could eat it every day if I wasn't so worried about becoming the size of a house! I hear that it isn't known all over the States either! I can't imagine why!?



For my English followers, Sausage Gravy and Biscuits was originally eaten after the War of Independence, more specifically in the South, when food…

Yes. My Son has a case of 'Fussy Pantitus.' It's starting to drive me insane. He has a very small list of foods that he will eat and I'm not quite sure how he is so healthy.

I’m not a big fan of energy drinks. I’ve never really like the taste and I usually get my caffeine fix for the day with my coffee. Okay, sometimes I get enough caffeine for three days in the morning, but that is besides the point. Besides my aversion to the taste, I’ve always been privy to my husband running around like a crazed fool after having an energy drink, driving me absolutely NUTS, so the last thing I want is to behave like him. Sorry hun! To my surprise though,…

 know that you have all heard this before but I have to do something about my weight gain!! 5 years ago when my husband and I started dating I stopped working out and started eating all the time. Within a year I went from 107 pounds to 164. Yes I realize that 107 pounds is ridiculously underweight for someone who is 5'5" but 164 is also over a healthy weight for me. SooooooI joined weight watchers. Within 4 months I had was done to 138 pounds which I was…
