Better in Bulk - Family photographer with a large family
Daily thoughts on living with a large family. I often share the tips I've learned as a photographer on how to get better pictures.
This is an old favorite recipe of mine that underwent a “meal makeover” with the Meal Makeover Moms Janice and Liz, making it not only easy and tasty, but healthy, too! I won a meal makeover consultation a month or two ago, and I had a blast chatting with Janice and Liz on the phone [...]
I asked my husband, lovingly referred to as CandyMan in these parts, to share the story of how we learned how to grill the most delicious meats on the block. “It doesn’t take a master chef to grill a good steak.” ~CandyMan When Lolli and I got married, neither one of us was an amazing [...]
If you know anything about me, you probably know that I have a sweet tooth (my header gives that little fact about me away). I have long held a place in my heart for rice crispy treats, but only recently have I discovered flavored rice crispy treats. Rice crispy treats are simple, but flavored rice [...]
Last night, after a nice and easy dinner with my brother and sister in law, everyone turned to dessert. I didn’t move fast enough, and missed getting some ice cream, but secretly I wasn’t too disappointed. What I really wanted was a few warm chocolate chip cookies. Lucky for me, my 12 year old stepped [...]
It really is incredible how good bread can dress up a meal, and how WARM bread can make a good meal great. I regularly feed my family leftovers, but I rarely do much more than stick the dish on the kitchen counter with a stack of plates, a serving spoon, and an open microwave. I [...]
I grew up in California, and so many of my favorite dishes when I was a kid were inspired by the food that came from South of the border. Before I graduated high school, I wanted to take some of my favorite recipes with me, and this is one of the entrees that made it [...]
St. Patrick’s Day is here! Are you wearing green? It’s been a busy week, but I found some time on Pinterest to add St. Patrick’s Day ideas (foods, activities, traditions, etc) to my Holiday board and I thought I’d share some of my favorite finds and start a St. Patrick’s Day Round-Up of my own.
I have a friend (shout out to Callie!) who makes the most amazingly beautiful cakes. I have tried to make pretty cakes, but the fact is…I usually fail. I make ugly cakes. The one thing I’m good at, though, is making cakes that people LOVE to eat. They taste amazing. And once you’ve had a [...]
I don’t remember when my fruit smoothie fetish began, but I distinctly recall planning outings just so I could drive by the ice cream shop that served smoothies back in the late 90s. Because there weren’t any good smoothie shops near my home (40 minutes away was a bit far) and because I couldn’t justify [...]
Have I mentioned that I have a sweet tooth? I think it would be more accurate to say that I have a few dozen sweet teeth. I just can’t get enough of baking yummy treats, and Pinterest has introduced me to some of the most delicious sweets imaginable. This week’s treat is a recipe that [...]
