A few weeks ago, I encouraged everyone to bake bread because what else can we do while stuck inside with the COVID-19 pandemic around us? I guess the whole world took my advice because people are having a hard time finding flour nowadays! Today, a friend mentioned that she couldn’t find flour to bake banana …
Usually I’m pretty good at lining baking pans with foil for easier cleanup. Just remember that foil is NOT non-stick.

My kids are out of school for the next few weeks. My husband is working from home. So we’re all staying in for the most part, except for an hour or so where we get out and get some fresh air! So if you are hunkering down with social distancing and staying in, it’s the …

Halloween is a-coming! If your kids catch the cardboard bug too, we also built a cardboard marble run. My son tried on and fell in love with a backhoe costume made out of felt and fabric. My husband wanted to buy the costume for $20, but I stood my ground. We could easily make one, …

My son loves anything with wheels! Last year he was crazy about trains, so I made him a train birthday cake. This year, we asked him if he wanted to buy a cake at Safeway. He said yes and we went to look at designs at the store. There were so many to choose from! …
