Greta will be transformed into an iconic campfire dessert for Halloween this year – the S’more! Greta’s costume this year came to me in a fit of unpacking, of course. It was simple to make and only took an hour or so of my time. Best of all, it fits over clothing and jackets, soContinue reading “DIY S’more Costume”

Amaranth & Squash Casserole
This was sooooooo good. I took a classic chicken and wild rice casserole recipe of my grandmother’s and tweaked it just a tad to get this new winter classic. Best part? It is gluten-free, vegetarian, and dairy-free. This is what I needed this week – I have the annual crud. Moving to a new school,Continue reading “Amaranth & Squash Casserole”
Cream of Butternut Squash Soup
We went out to a birthday dinner with my mom at Cosi Cocina’s and had a delicious butternut squash soup. This soup is my version or interpretation of that soup. It is a perfect fall flavor soup with the heartiness to make it a meal. It is vegetarian and even could be made vegan withContinue reading “Cream of Butternut Squash Soup”
Baked Apple Peels
I have been using up the apples I have left with various recipes – pie and apple sauce as of lately. Rather than tossing all the yummy peels, I put them all into a large bowl, toss with spices and bake to make a crunchy tasty snack. I have an apple pie and 3 jarsContinue reading “Baked Apple Peels”

Walking Dead Silhouettes
Ok, I admit, I am generally NOT a TV person. I can find so many better ways to spend my time instead of zoning out in front of the screen – in other words, I am make myself too busy. However, there are a few times when a show captures my attention. And oh man,Continue reading “Walking Dead Silhouettes”
Pear & Pumpkin Upside Down Cake
We had a nice weekend at home finishing up some more painting of hallways and organizing a few key areas of the house. It was rather gloomy and rainy all day Sunday – enough to warrant getting out the light down comforter and turning on the heat (low of course) for the night. We willContinue reading “Pear & Pumpkin Upside Down Cake”
Halloween Eye Ball Wreath
This wreath is an easy, DIY project using easy to find materials. I simply made a circle from wire and created a loop at the top in which to hang the wreath. Then, I glued ping pong balls to each other and onto the wire wreath with a hot glue gun. The finishing touch wereContinue reading “Halloween Eye Ball Wreath”

It’s been rather quiet on this blog home front lately. My family has been more than busy with work, life, family, and the likes. However, I do allow myself to indulge in some of my creating hobbies even in the midst of storms. This post covers the topic of my most current creation focus. Continue reading “Home Made Salsa”
