Years ago, my mom had a Pampered Chef party…and one of the recipes that the consultant demonstrated was Cool Veggie Pizza. Buttery crust, ranch cream cheese spread and lots of crisp, fresh vegetables – delicious! It’s been a family favorite over the years and I’m always looking for new ways to try it. After being inspired by various pinwheel recipes I had seen online, I … Continue reading Ranch Veggie Roll-ups
As I’ve mentioned before, I love to cook – sometimes I spend a quiet afternoon browsing through my cookbooks. (A little nerdy, sure..but delicious!) Often, the success of a recipe depends on the quality of the food you put into it..For instance, if you put a cheap, fatty sausage into your jambalaya, you’re likely to get a lot of gristle due to its poor quality. … Continue reading CraftyGirl’s Featured Shop: OregonAlbacoreTuna

I’m on a little bit of a cupcake research mission lately. I have the wonderful opportunity of making cupcakes for a dear, close relative’s bridal shower (I am SO excited) and we’ve been discussing flavors. Of course, I just have to do a few test runs…right? So, I was browsing for a great peanut butter frosting recipe (one of the flavors we’ve picked is inspired … Continue reading Fluffy Peanut Butter Frosting from All Recipes!

Browsing Amazon, I’ve come across a couple cookbooks that I thought I’d share with you today.

Sometimes I stumble across recipes that are just too good not to share…and today’s no exception. So delicious!

Fall is coming…It may still be 80 degrees here in Southwestern Virginia, but fall is coming. And I am PUMPED! (Is it obvious that it’s my favorite season?) It’s a rainy day here, so I decided today was the perfect day for something with apple..and lots of spice. While browsing for recipe inspiration online, I came across One Hungry Mama’s recipe for Baked Apple Donuts. … Continue reading Apple Spiced Mini-Muffins (Adapted from OneHungryMama.com)
I’m only slightly kidding here, folks. I am a BIG fan of chicken and broccoli casserole, and the lack of leftovers prove my point. What’s chicken and broccoli casserole, you may ask? Well, bear with me…when I first heard what was in it, I didn’t think it could possibly be good. But boy, how wrong I was. Chicken and broccoli casserole must be a southern … Continue reading Chicken and Broccoli Casserole should be classified as a drug.
So, I was so excited about making homemade pizza that I forgot to take pictures of it before I ate it. Uh oh. Today’s day consisted of listing mixed yarn lots on eBay…you can find one of them here. Also, I made the aforementioned pizza (which was delicious, btw), cleaned some more (yuck), did a LOT of laundry (eh) and finally got around to watching … Continue reading Pizza pictures!..err..whoops.
