A simple and delicious treat! It’s funny the things you can or cannot remember about your childhood. I can still recall a special outing to the cinema with my cousins and grandfather when I was really young. I don’t remember what we watched but I remember how excited I was about going to the movies.

Apple-Cranberry Pie
This is my fourth pie in eight years, my second in a week. The first 2 times were a flop…let’s not even go there. The last pie turned out pretty delicious actually but unfortunately, it wasn’t a pretty sight to behold after it was cut – the filling did not stay within the crust but […]
Brecksville Reservation
We just had our first snow two days ago – Alex was extremely excited and immediately asked to go outside to “shovel” (i.e. scoop snow up with the shovel and dump it wherever he likes). :-D We even managed to build a small snowman (which looks a little creepy IMO) yesterday before the snow melted. […]
The “Ghostie”
Well, Halloween came and went – Alex had fun trick or treating! Here’s a few photos that didn’t come out too blurry. :-) Got to bundle up – it’s really cold outside! Daddy’s putting on Alex’s costume. First stop – our wonderful friends across the street. “Ghostie” and “Transformer” “I’m a friendly ghost, Mommy.” :-) Coaxing […]
Last Year’s Halloween Photos
What?!! It’ll be Halloween already this Sunday. Where did the time go? Alex doesn’t even have his costume yet but the good thing is he wants to dress as a “ghost” this year. At least there’s not much we have to do to come up with that costume. ;-) We were more prepared last year […]
Applesauce Cake
There was a reason why I finally decided to make my own applesauce after all this time – I had a “baking date” with a girlfriend last Saturday and we wanted to make something with apples to take advantage of the season. :-) We decided on the Applesauce Cake recipe (from the Martha Stewart website), which […]
Homemade Applesauce
I’m almost embarrassed to admit that after living here for more than 10 years and with an apple orchard five minutes down the street, I have never made applesauce from scratch before until now. There wasn’t really any reason to – applesauce can easily be found in stores and is not expensive to purchase…so why […]
Kellogg’s Special K Red Berries with Added Fiber
As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I received a couple boxes of Kellogg’s Special K Red Berries with added fiber to try out. Both hubby and I have been long-time fans of Kellogg’s Special K Red Berries. That’s right, hubby included! In fact, it’s hubby’s almost daily on-the-go breakfast. We love the cereal for […]
Ledges Trail in Cuyahoga Valley National Park
We’ve been pretty lucky so far in October to have had a couple of warm weekends, which we took advantage of and went hiking. Earlier this month, we explored a new trail – Ledges Trail in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Not too many trees had turned colors at that point but enough to let us know […]
Crispy Vegetable Wonton
One of my guilty pleasures is definitely FRIED FOODS! In fact, the only time I’ll eat chicken skin (or tolerate fats of any kind) is when they are fried or roasted until they are crispy. I’ve often wondered how we could eat all those fried foods and spicy dishes on the hot and humid days that we […]
