We fired up the grill last weekend for the last time this year to try a new product: Flamedisk, an ethanol (that’d be corn) grilling fuel. Because Doug is a die-hard charcoal griller I thought it would be nice to try an alternative.
As the name suggests Flamedisk is disk shaped. We used it in our [...]

One of the things we really liked when we bought our house was the amount of storage space available. I’m rather an organizational freak and like everything to have a place.
The only thing I didn’t have suitable space for were my cookbooks. They were kept on a counter top, out of the way. I hated [...]
You’ll have to excuse the (very obvious) brain fart fact that I couldn’t remember what a cheesecake pan is called until late in the video. Springform… It’s called springform…
Here’s how you make a waterbath for a cheesecake…
The cheesecake in the video is the Brownie Sundae Cheesecake. The recipe is here. And so is a [...]
I have no idea why I didn’t think of this myself…
I was reading a recipe this morning that I found on my Dinner Spinner (free app for iPod Touch & iPhone. Super cool, check it out!)
Anyway, one of the recipes said “forget to thaw the chicken? No problem! Throw it in the [...]
Remember when I did a Moleskine hack for scrappers back in January? I utilize my Moleskine all the time and love it.
If my hack isn’t for you, I want to direct you to the Definitive Collection of Moleskine Hacks. It includes my hack and many, many others.

When it was decided that my family would temporarily relocate to Boston for my husband’s job it was difficult for me to leave my fully stocked kitchen. I have everything I need to make preparing meals easy and I was hesitant to leave them behind. Luckily we found a rental house with a [...]
OK, I don’t give much any thought to Alka-Seltzer. But after reading this article at Woman’s Day I may have to get some.
1. Deep-Clean Vases Fill with warm water and drop in two of these baking soda–rich tablets. Let soak for an hour to remove the stains you can’t reach.
2. Speed-Scrub the Toilet Twice [...]
There is a new community on Facebook that I would like to share with you. It’s called “A Mother’s Promise“. It could easily be called “A Parent’s Promise” or “A Promise to Your Child”. The name really doesn’t matter, the mission, however, does.
This community, supported by Evenflo, is focused on the safety [...]

If you’re in Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, Massachusetts or California you’ll want to check the website for info.
If you aren’t near [...]
When we travel we usually have family to fall back on for the pooch. But, once in a while, that doesn’t work out. And then I have to find someone to watch Toby. Which is what led me to this website of Dog Boarding Kennels today. It has listings for every [...]
With fall finding it’s way here I find myself thinking about those nasty little critters that invaded my house the last time it got cold. Since our infestation I’ve learned quite a bit about mice and pest management.
Apparently they only live about 4 months. But they begin breeding at 5 weeks of age [...]
I know that at least one of my bloggy friends is packing up and moving soon (Hi Bob! Let me know which house you chose!) so when I found this blog that is chock full of moving advice from the experts at ABF I thought it might come in handy for someone else, as [...]
I found this recipe over at RecipeZaar and it has been a lifesaver! I absolutely love that just by adding cocoa I have a “chocolate” pan release that doesn’t leave a white residue on my chocolate cakes! I made one of each and store them for baking.
Ingredients
* 1/2 cup corn oil or [...]
When I started my recipe blog it was as an accompaniment to my “main†blog – this blog. You see, I did a weekly recipe feature here and my blog was getting so busy that I created a “spin offâ€.
That was at the beginning of this year. As I was looking through the stats on [...]
