This is one of my favorite cakes to make but more importantly one of my favorite to EAT! I am not a huge mint/chocolate fan, it’s ok, sometimes I like eating but I don’t crave York Peppermint Patties or Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. This cake is a hit every time I make it. I
Meal Plan Oct. 8th to Oct. 21st
I am so not in the mood for meal planning but it must be done as tomorrow is grocery shopping day. Somehow I ended up with extra meals leftover from the last meal plan. Here it is….1. Grilling out with our neighbors – brats/hot dogs and potato salad2. Grilling again- chicken, baked potatoes and corn
My new old kitchen chairs
I have disliked our kitchen table and chairs for a few years now. They are the ugly honey oak color that I think almost every table and chair that was made in the early to mid 2000’s was stained. Ok, well not every table and chair but every table and chair that we could afford
Cooking in the crockot – Lasagna
I was hoping to have a new meal to share earlier in the week but this week has just been flying by! Maybe the birth of my niece on Monday threw things out the door, not really sure but what a great reason to have your week go haywire! Anyways, this wasn’t on my menu

Ham Balls
I first tried ham balls when I did a dinner exchange with some friends. I was not very excited to receive ham balls as a meal, I thought they sounded disgusting. Well let me tell you, they are wonderful! They remind me of bacon a little bit. So, don’t let the name gross you out!
Mexi-chicken Casserole
I like this recipe, it’s easy to throw together and is not healthy but it does have veggies in it! 6-8 chicken breasts cooked and diced up1 can cream of mushroom soup1 can cream of chicken soup1 10 oz can of tomatoes and green chilies (drained)6 oz plain Doritos (I never measure this out but
Pasties
For those of you who don’t know what pasties are, check out this link to find out more. Growing up in Upper Michigan my husband and I both ate pasties in our homes. I have my mom’s pasty crust recipe below but usually for the sake of time and my sanity, I just use refrigerated
New Project – Chalkboard for the playroom
I am so excited to share with you my very inexpensive project that I’ve been working on today. We are working on making the playroom for the kids and one of the things I’ve been wanting to add is a chalkboard. I mentioned this to a friend the other day and she said, “Wait here,
