almost beekeeping

Last week, a swarm of bees showed up in my backyard. My husband frantically said,  ” Get the kids and dogs in! ” Then, we watched from the screen porch as the swarm began to settle 12 feet up in a tree in our yard. After 24 hours, I began to grow concerned with their [...]

treasures in daily life

This poor little blog. It’s always getting overshadowed by it’s other half (you know the one with the recipes?) But. Not. Anymore.

Because I have life going on, and some of y’all don’t always need a recipe in your face.

Sometimes, you might just want a peek into someone else’s world. Maybe to see that [...]

tip of the day

 

Hold on to all those old Ny-Quil cups. They are awesome for measuring out liquid extracts. AND, so much easier to wash than a bundle of measuring spoons.

What's in the fridge

My fridge was a craaaaazy mess recently.

Yeah, that bag there? See it? It’s full of strawberries. We picked them in baskets, but once purchased they got dumped into a plastic bag.

There’s quite the mixture of  health food and junk food, too.

I spy some brown rice & yogurt alongside some Yoo-Hoo…

hmmm, there’s [...]

what I caught my husband looking at

Ever since I started my food blog, The Village Cook- my husband will occasionally call me to the computer to critique a food photo. Not that I’m an editor at Tastespotting or Foodgawker- or that I even have a clue what makes a great picture. But, I’m pretty sure most people will agree that there [...]

wet burritoes

This is my husbands 2nd favorite meal.

I made it for him when he’s had a hard day, when I have screwed up…and sometimes when it’s rainy.

He calls them “fun-ritoes”

It brings out the 12 year old boy in him.

It makes awesome leftovers [...]

before and after

I totally should do segments on before and after. Like: before I cleaned my bathroom and after.

Keepin’ it real…

Before laundry…after laundry…before make up after make up…before sweating my booty off by going on a walk, and after. Ooo, this list could get ugly.

Anyway, remember my kitchen tour?

Well, even though I am [...]

The other day, I realized it was time to do something that only females know how to do…sometimes it’s a simple task, other times it can be daunting yet the longer you wait; the more disastrous the outcome…

taco shell tip

DSC_5572

Do you toast your taco shells before filling? You should… they’re crisper and tastier that way! But… If you don’t do this, they will collapse and be un-stuffable. Is that even a word? Well, it is now.

Just stuff some foil in em, to keep them open while they toast.

So you can have your [...]
