A favorite of Mr. Ferrero Rocher’s. I made the mistake of substituting ground beef one time. A BIG NO NO!!! We prefer this served over rice but it is also good over noodles. We double the recipe because it only serves four. Beef Stroganoff 1 lb. beef tenderloin steak or sirloin steak 2 TBSP. all-purpose […]

Wordfull Wednesday: Learning to Read
“It is cold. “See the snow. “See the snow come down.” Oh how well I remember these words! My parents were using Else Holmelund Minarik’s beloved book “Little Bear” to teach me how to read. It was so fun to snuggle on the couch with one of them, their arms wrapped around me holding the […]
I ♥ Faces Kids: Week 8 Messy
This week’s theme is Messy. And, boy, are there ever a lot of great pictures at I ♥ Faces this week! I took this of Special Dark just this past Saturday. I walked in to the kids’ bathroom to find him covered in left over red face paint from Halloween. I about fainted because I […]
Your Refined Heavenly Home
Just jotting down my thoughts today. This post might not make any sense and certainly won’t be arranged in any organized manner. One BYU speech I always seem to go back to whenever I’m in a reflective mood about organizing my home, creating a refuge from the world, and teaching my children is the one […]

Spice Cake
Every once in a while I crave something that’s not chocolate. Shocking. I know. This spice cake always seems to hit the spot. I started making this cake way back when I was about 13. I love it served without frosting and big dollop of cool whip or for breakfast in a bowl with milk. […]
The Quintessential American Man
I’m giddy with excitement this morning. The black and white photo of my father-in-law won 1st place in this week’s I ♥ Faces contest! The judge this week was Kricia Morris. Here’s what she said about the photo, “I chose this adult winner because of the timelessness of this photo. This could be any one […]

Read Across America Day is March 2nd, the anniversary of Dr. Seuss’s birthday. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who hasn’t read a Dr. Seuss book. Beginning readers enjoy the easy words, fun rhymes and silly illustrations. Literacy is so important! It is almost impossible to learn anything else whether it is science, history, […]

I ♥ Faces Adults: Week 7 Black & White
There’s something timeless about black and white photos, especially the ones of people. Details you fail to notice in color seem to stand out when an image is stark black and white. Maybe its the contrasting colors. This photo of my father-in-law (he’s gonna die, or rather I’m gonna die, when he finds out!) was […]
Rocks, Pebbles, and Sand
Can you have too much of a good thing? Depends I guess. I have a problem with wanting to do too many “good things.” So much so that those which are most needful are sometimes neglected. Over the past several months, starting back in November I think, I’ve been going through a metamorphosis. I realized […]

Pass a napkin, I’m drooling again
I don’t usually watch television but today was an unusual day. I happened to get the last three segments of Martha Stewart on the Fine Living Channel. Oi! How about a spiffy little cardboard range for cooking and baking complete with CD stove top burners. Or an oober cute Felt Cherry Pie to bake inside […]
