Thanks for stopping by my blog! The hats I wear include wife (to a retired Army field artilleryman), mom to three super busy teens, and high school math teacher. In my “free time” I love cooking, reading, creating (mostly papercrafts), photography, travelling, and exploring the PNW with my family…you know, all the usual things!
I hope you’ll find some inspiration, entertainment, and something that makes you smile here. I look forward to hearing from you!

Raspberry Slab Pie
Have you ever had a slab pie? I know, it’s not the most appealing name, but once you taste it, you’ll overlook that! A slab pie contains a yummy fruit filling between two layers of flaky pastry, drizzled (using a … Continue reading
New-Fashioned Banana Pudding
Sometimes, you just need a classic comfort food. But maybe not all the fat and calories and generally unhealthy stuff in the classic. This version of Banana Pudding from Cooking Light has remained a favorite of mine for years. I … Continue reading

Light Peach Raspberry Crisp
Now, y’all know how much I love pie, right? So much that I rarely make a pie, because they’re so full of calories and I have absolutely no willpower. Pie is my Achilles heel. I do, however, make crisps frequently. … Continue reading

Nutella S’Mores
Occasionally, I have a lightbulb moment, such as this idea for Nutella S’Mores. Now, I have to say, I don’t care for chocolate, as a rule, and I really don’t like how your toasted marshmallow is never hot enough to … Continue reading

Not Your Average Popsicle
Who doesn’t love a popsicle? Well, okay, I have to admit, I’m not big on the store-bought, overly sweet (in my opinion), artificially flavored and colored ones. In fact, I never buy them. I occasionally splurge on the real fruit … Continue reading
