Several years ago, in a desperate mission to comfort the burn of my infant’s bottom, I did an internet search and found the best solution for diaper rash that I have found yet. First let me clarify that the type of rash she had was a yeast rash from teething. The doctor usually prescribes Nystatin [...]

Sugar, Sugar Everywhere
April 27, 2009 – 11:00 pm
I have now been on the South Beach diet for a week. One of the parts of this diet is that you are not allowed to have sugar for the first 2 weeks. This has been quite a challenge, not because we just can’t live without sugar, but because sugar is in absolutely everything!
Just for [...]
Egg Free Chocolate Chip cookies
December 5, 2008 – 11:11 pm
Of all the allergies in our family, egg is the hardest to find a substitute for. It is usually easy to substitute for milk because water almost always works. It doesn’t work so well in chocolate milk, but soy milk works for that. I usually use water in recipes and find that the recipe tastes [...]
White Sauce Recipe
December 2, 2008 – 8:48 pm
I made green bean casserole over Thanksgiving and several people asked for the recipe for the white sauce I used instead of cream of mushroom soup. I decided to put it on my blog for anyone else who is interested and so I don’t have to hunt for it next time I need it. It [...]
Making Pinatas – Part 2
November 3, 2008 – 11:57 pm
Today I will show you pictures of the newspaper strips, wetting the strips with a paste of flour & water, and putting the strips on the balloon. The kids seemed to have a blast with every step of the pinata-making, but it was most obvious with the newspaper strips!
If you missed Making Pinatas Part 1, [...]
Italian Chicken

For those of you who didn’t know, my husband is a great cook, especially when he makes his own recipes! Several years ago, he made up a chicken and potato recipe that we call Italian Chicken. It is one of my absolute favorite meals!
In the past, I have called Luke into the kitchen to make [...]
Which Pumpkin Pie?
October 19, 2008 – 10:24 pm
Our church is having a pie baking contest next Sunday. Because of this and the fact that Phillip has food allergies, I experimented with egg free, milk free, nut free pumpkin pies over the weekend. First I tried a recipe using gelatin instead of eggs. Then I tried the regular Libby’s pumpkin pie recipe and [...]
Foaming Hand Soap
March 4, 2008 – 10:43 pm
Foaming hand soap is the coolest thing! The kids love to see the bubbly soap squirt out onto their hands, so they want to wash their hands more often just to see the bubblies. I have also read that you can actually save money by using it. The most expensive part is the pump soap [...]

October 12, 2007 – 12:36 pm
This is the 3rd pancake recipe I have posted , but this is the recipe. I got this recipe from Luke’s mom, and it is the best! I actually have this recipe memorized and no longer have the recipe card. I want to post it here so I don’t forget it, and so maybe Anna [...]
