Kate’s Recipe of the Week – What the fudge?! <br /> Ridiculously Easy Microwave Fudge

A few days ago one of my daughters noticed some bags of groceries on the counter and peeked inside and saw packages of chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. “Mom! Yay! You’re making fudge! Wait…it’s for your website, isn’t it? Thank goodness you have a website because that means I know we’ll have something good to eat at least once a week.” What?! Did she really say that? I fix dinner every stinkin’ day of the week, … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – I’m a cotton-headed ninny-muggins.

Yep, that’s what I told myself over the weekend after I let my son convince me that we needed to try Buddy the Elf’s favorite delicacy, spaghetti with syrup. “We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and syrup.” ~Buddy the Elf Somehow last year I was able to avoid fulfilling the oft repeated request until the Christmas season was over and Buddy the Elf’s strange eating habits were … Read entire article »

Kate’s Escapades – Let’s Talk Turkey

Kate’s Escapades – Let’s Talk Turkey

The big day is almost here. We have a Thanksgiving motto at my house… Gobble ’til You Wobble! A perfectly acceptable motto for one day of the year, don’t you think?  Well, maybe you could stretch that out to two days, if you have enough leftovers.  But three days?  Don’t try it unless you are expecting a gym membership for Christmas. The star of every Thanksgiving feast is certainly the turkey.  And probably nothing strikes more fear into … Read entire article »

Kate’s Recipe of the Week –
(Almost) Magleby’s Buttermilk Syrup

And pretty dang easy to make. All you need are 5 minutes, and 6 ingredients which you probably already have on hand. Well, except for the buttermilk, which you’re probably going to have to make a trip to the store to buy.  Does anyone under the … Read entire article »
