Author Archives: Get Off Your Butt and BAKE.jpg) The sweetest thing happened to me yesterday. I was strolling down the aisle at Walmart . . . when the cutest girl ever, with her darling little daughter stopped me. She said . . . “Are you the Lady from Get Off Your Butt and BAKE?” I laughed and smiled. “Yes” . . . I said. […] .jpg) This just happens to be one of my favorite desserts. Yes . . . it’s one of those little perks of life, but you can’t make it very often. Why? You’ll have to duct tape yourself to your treadmill! It is perfect for the holidays and I promise you . . . you won’t be trying […] .jpg) Pomegranate’s are very good for you! The name pomegranate derives from Middle French, pomme garnete, literally “seeded apple”; it is sometimes referred to as Chinese apple. The pomegranate’s botanical name, Punica Granatum, translates as “Apple with many seeds.” Did you know all that? Now is the perfect time to buy Pomegranate’s in the grocery store […] .jpg) Do you need a cute mummy for Halloween? They are almost too cute to eat! How Does She showed these on Good Things Utah. Did you happen to catch it. They are fast and easy to make for your little Gobblins. You will Need: Oreos, Candy Melts, Sticks and a bit of Dark Chocolate for […] .jpg) I’ve looked high and low for a Candy Corn Cookie Cutter. I scoured every craft store, baking department, grocery store and beyond. I gave up, and made these instead! Just as soon as I did . . . I found a Candy Corn Cookie Cutter! grrrrr. It’s o.k, they were fun to make. I ran […] .jpg) I certainly don’t eat doughnuts very often, but Apple Fritters have been weighing heavily on my mind. As I was rummaging through my stacks of recipes, I came across this Food Network recipe for Banana Beignets. OK . . . Do I make Fritters or Beignets? There really isn’t much difference. I happened to have […] .jpg) Is there anything cuter than a mini cupcake? NOPE! The only thing better is eating one, or two or three. It took me a while to convince my kids while growing up, that veggies and cake go quite well together. I think they are finally on board. So . . . what should you do with all […] .jpg) I would love to give you a “new” recipe everyday, but it’s just not possible. Why? . . . Because, I would never be making our tried and true favorites! My better half could live on this Old Fashioned Beef Stew. He will be very happy tonight. I’m quite serious. I could serve it every night, and he […] .jpg) I love a good Sugar Cookie. You know . . . the kind that stays soft . . . yet chewy for days. I think I’ve tried hundreds of recipes over the years, but I’ve never tried this recipe until now. The words Almond Paste jumped off the page of my Taste of Home Magazine, and into my […] .jpg) Some like it hot . . . Some like it cold . . . Some like it in the pot . . . 9 days old! I just prefer mine mild to medium. However, if you like it HOT, just leave the seeds in! My lack of posting lately, has to do with Tomatoes . […] .jpg) Leftovers. We seem to have a lot of them in this household. Don’t tell anyone, but I do it . . . On Purpose! I make extra, so that another nights meal can be ultra easy. Taco meat makes the most delicious Won-tons. My family loves them! See . . . The 1st night, we had Tacos. If […] .jpg) Plums . . . dropping everywhere! What to do, what to do? It is October 10th, and we are still picking plums in our backyard. That is unheard of in Idaho . . . at least I think it is! We really don’t eat very much jam in this house, and I’ve already made lots […] .jpg) Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet Eating her curds and whey, Along came a spider, Who sat down beside her And frightened Miss Muffet away. ~ See what I made yesterday . . . If one of these critters was hiding in the sheets . . . would you jump out of bed? The […] .jpg) Don’t you think that fall screams Caramel Apples? I don’t make these often, because I can’t resist eating them. This caramel recipe is a long time family favorite. I promise you . . . Once you make homemade Caramel, you’ll never unwrap a store bought caramel again. To be honest, I’ve never dipped the bottom of a Caramel Apple in […] .jpg) My good husband is quite used to me cooking, baking . . . and messing up the kitchen. I believe that I’ve mentioned many, many times that he really doesn’t care for sweets. Ugggg. Yesterday, I made his favorite banana bread again – In his mind, it doesn’t fall in the category of Sweets. Him: “Have […] loading
