Random "Holidayness"

We are pretty ready for Christmas and Kwanzaa. We are putting up the tree this Friday after The Lil Chef gets home from school. Friday starts her winter break and she is BEYOND excited!

Let's begin...

Our decorated cabinet (which isn't finished) and wall. We have our sparkling juice ready for New Year's.

Decorated entrance door

Homemade ornaments from The Lil Chef in a bed of collected rocks from my travels and shells.

The little bit of lights in the house. (the leftover lights from the window decorations)

This is what the lights look like at night with the blinds open. My Frosty the Snowman decoration looks like the moon lol! This our 1st Christmas here & I had no idea how to do the lights, so next year this will definitely be different and there will be more.

Our Christmas "Town" & design #2 for the pine cones

Have a Merry Christmas on the Laundry door with The Lil Chef looking & acting crazy (this was yesterday)

Happy Holidays! Our doors are decorated!
(We totally like to draw on the door and furniture around here!!!)

We officially have 10 days left according to our Countdown Bear.

The Lil Chef being silly the other day when I was making the chicken and broccoli stir fry.

Our "fireplace"! I love decorations from Dollar Tree!

My first attempt arranging the cinnamon scented pine cones last week.

                                           Of course I have a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree!

 And last but not least! The outside of our door!


There's more but I wouldn't want to bore you all! :-) I think we did pretty good for Apartment living! This is my first time living in an apartment again in......(thinking).....about 10 years! (So far so good)

Homemade Taco Sauce

This is nice and uncomplicated! You know the only thing I'd change is the salt and make it kosher, other than that this recipe is clean. I haven't made it yet but I will the next time I need taco sauce! Homemade things are better!

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streusel coffee cake, hot cross buns, stick

Homemade Seasonings

I found this on Pinterest. Several things I do miss about being allergy free. So happy they can be duplicated at home Make sure the minced onions are JUST onions. I personally would use kosher salt. Use raw sugar. Instead of sour cream use 0% greek yogurt.
