Meal Pinning Monday

December 23, 2014

This isn't my normal cooking week, but I'll share what we are making!  [What is Meal Pinning Monday?] MPM is how I meal plan for our little family. I once spent a lot of time searching the web and my recipe books hunting for new recipes and ideas for what to cook every week. Then, Pinterest came along and made meal planning much easier for me. Every weekend I look over what...

Uncommon Goods Gift Ideas & Giveaway

December 15, 2014

Christmas is right around the corner and it's high time to finish up the gift buying for this year. I'm not one to spend tons on presents, I really think the season is more about being together. I also think that if you're going to give something, make it something that person could use or might want. Goodness knows I've gotten my hands on a few things throughout past Christmas's that were less...

A Simple Christmas

December 5, 2014

This year, being a relatively chaotic year, has made the two of us think seriously about downsizing our Christmas. In all honesty I've been thinking for months about how to decorate, especially since I knew we would have our own house by the holidays. Salt dough ornaments, cinnamon ornaments, tons of buffalo print ribbon. I wanted it to be simple, inexpensive, and a "country charming" feel. However,...

Old Fashion Better than Sex Cake

December 4, 2014

I really expected this to be a chocolate version of the Better than Sex Cake, but considering Nanny hated chocolate it's no wonder there isn't an ounce of chocolate to be found in this recipe.  She always said that Reese's ruined perfectly good peanut butter, if that is any indication of her disdain for chocolate.  I know a lot of people are coconut picky, just leave it off if...
