I’m always searching for creative ways to teach my children Bible stories. My kids learn better with hands-on activities while we are talking and then being able to visualize what we are talking about. I first heard about Empty Tomb Rolls several years ago and I know they are all over the web now, but I’ve got [...]
You know that time period between 3pm and 5:30pm? I hate it! The second my daughter gets in the car after school she wants to know what is for after school snack! Not “Hi Mom” or anything…just “what’s for after school snack”. And my answer is usually the same…I have no clue! I was so [...]
It’s time to celebrate! Today is National Pie Day and I have some easy Coconut Cream Mini Pies ready for the party tonight! Okay, okay…I’m totally cheating! I picked up some Marie Callendar’s Coconut Cream Mini Pies at the store to surprise my family tonight after supper. I hosted three parties in three days last [...]
I’m always trying to figure out how to get healthy foods into my kids, but I have to stay on my toes or they get bored. Unfortunately, many of the Pina Colada Fruit Dips call for instant coconut pudding, which is not healthy at all. I knew I could make a similar tasting dip without [...]
I have a huge sweet tooth. I will try just about anything in the dessert department, especially anything chocolate. What I really love is dark chocolate. It’s my go-to…I always have some stashed away for “emergencies”. And last week, I was having a chocolate emergency and whipped up with Dark Chocolate Orange Pudding. I love [...]
I enjoy baking from scratch and always make my kids a fancy schmancy cake for their birthdays. Everyone raves about my white cake and I have several friends (ahem…Janice) who has complained on several occasions that my white cake recipe is not on AMFT. Well…here it is…my Amazing White Cake recipe. It’s pretty fail proof [...]
I’ve been busy….but I have a Twitter party invite for you! Plus Peppermint Cake Pops and a delicious Leftover Turkey Sandwich! I hope you’ll join the party and check out the two great recipes! I’ve teamed up with my former Rice Krispies team and the other teams from last year’s competitions for a mini-reunion. Remember our [...]
Well, this wraps up peppermint week here on AMFT. I hope you’ve been inspired and found something new for your holiday parties and treat platters. But if you need a big show stopping dessert…I’ve saved the best for last! I promise you CAN make this Peppermint Cake. It’s super easy! Before we get started on [...]
So, for pretty much as long as I can remember my Mother-in-Law, bless her heart, has hosted every single holiday meal. It’s always potluck style, but still…all that preparation and cleaning and being hostess is a lot of work. I think in 15 years of marriage plus 6 years of dating, I’ve hosted 2 meals. So this [...]
Most of the recipes on AMFT will be gluten free, dairy free, and egg free due to my allergies starting in Jan 2013; however, you will find archives of my traditional recipes too. [Wanna Know More …]
