Generally the words "yeast breads" and "quick" don't go hand in hand but here is a delicious contradiction to that generalization. These rolls take just over thirty minutes (35 to be exact), but they bake up nice and fluffy just as you would expect any yeast roll to do. They are a scrumptious rule breaker and you really must try them. Here is the recipe: As usual when making a yeast bread, … [Read more...]

Children’s Art Wall
October 22, 2013 Leave a Comment
I'm a proud momma. I am a big fan of displaying my children's artwork and creations where they can see it and know that I appreciate it. Unfortunately, I also dislike clutter, especially on my pretty and shiny stainless steel refrigerator.

Delicious Vanilla Chai Tea Mix

It's so bad that he normally leaves a mug out so that he can reuse it throughout the day similar to what some might do with a water glass. So when I ran across some recipes for homemade vanilla chai tea mix last year I decided to give it a try. At that point, I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. I … [Read more...]
