Did you know that Guacamole is one of the most popular Super Bowl snacks?! Right up there with Chicken Wings! But it’s been around long before the big game ever took place.

I made these. Hee hee.
I’m as surprised as anyone at how easy it is to make Homemade English Muffins, all while your family sleeps. When my family came downstairs this morning and met me in the kitchen, I had a grin on my face a mile wide. Care for an English Muffin?

The Baking Gods gave us Flatbread Crackers.

Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup.
I recently saw a fb post from a well known blogger that asked followers if they used canned goods in their cooking. She received hundreds of comments that ranged from “NEVER” with a long list of the reasons why not to, to “My husband and I both work. Coming home to a crock-pot meal (that calls for cream of…) allows me time to play with my daughter before bed.” Continue reading »
