Fat and Happy…

So you may recall years back my rabbit had a problem with his eye (in fact back then we focused so much on the eye we thought she was a girl like they told us). Anyway a few months back the eye started getting much worse and it spread through the eye quickly. Last time it cost $1000. I simply don’t have that this time to try and save the bunny. Heck I don’t have a $100 to save the rabbit at this point. So I figured he would start to lose his appetite as the eye was progressing quickly and probably die in a few weeks. We told the kids that Little Fuzzy Bunny was probably going to the great carrot patch in the sky and that was okay because he lived a full life. And my theory was if he is going out why not go out fat and happy? So I fed him. And fed him. And fed him. He still is more than alive. He never has lost his appetite and he has double in size. Oops. But he is happy. He is one happy rabbit. :) And amazingly still alive. I often think if I only had a few weeks to live … [Read more...]

Play Up Dessert with Oreo…

If you look almost anywhere on my site you will see my love of Oreo’s in all forms. So when Kitchen PLAY asked if I wanted to make a Halloween recipe using Oreo’s it was pretty much a no-brainer. I throw Oreo’s in just about everything from Rice Krispie Treats to ice cream to brownie bars to cheesecake. And my favorite way to make cheesecake…mini with an Oreo cookie as the crust. I had wanted to make something using the Halloween Oreo’s (not to be confused with the Candy Corn Oreo’s that I loved) but couldn’t find them. So I went with a mix of Golden (my favorite) and classic Oreo. And to make things a little more festive I made my Oreo’s into skeleton heads. And you get a chance to show Kitchen PLAY and Oreo what you can make with Oreo’s. That’s right… Kitchen PLAY is giving away two OREO Halloween prize packs filled with goodies like: a spider spatula and apron, pumpkin cupcake holders, a Halloween serving dish, Halloween sprinkles and of course, Halloween … [Read more...]

How the peach crumbles…

Just want to say how excited I am that people were touched by my own version of the birthday project. I really hope it inspires you to pay it forward a little. Feel free to email me with stories of your own good doing. As most of you know the 4th is not my favorite of holidays. MDP took his kiddos to see Spiderman today while I hydrated as my teammates tried to see how quickly they could get this girl drunk. The answer is quite quickly. The good thing is that with age comes the wisdom to hydrate the heck out of yourself before you go to bed so as to wake up without a hangover…which I did. We are currently doing laundry (be jealous) and making a little gluten-free, cow’s dairy free sloppy joe mac and cheese. Turns out that we are 99% sure that MDP is gluten intolerant and we are both allergic to cow’s dairy so we have been having to make a few changes around here as of late. He goes later on this month to confirm what the elimination diet has been showing. I still get to … [Read more...]
