Dude! Where’s My Food?
Days in the life of our disappearing food because we do go through a lot of food. We took pictures of the food in our fridge “almost” everyday to show how it disappears.

I’ve been on a “lets see what i can create in my new mixer” kick since i got a new kitchen gadget. Of course my smoothies are SUPER AWESOME now. And i’ve cut the time it takes to make frozen desserts down to like 5 minutes. *chuckle* It’s so easy and quick to make…

Sunday Dinner – Vegetable Lasagna
I tried to keep dinner really simple. It’s been super hot all week-end long and even hotter in my tiny home, even with the air conditioning full blast and 2 fans. However, i still ended up in the kitchen for the better part of the day. Not to mention i made a yummy Boston Cream…
