Sugar Cookie Bars

Tina2 Comments

I love sugar cookies but I really dislike rolling them out. I’m too much of a perfectionist and I get very frustrated rolling out each cookie to be the same exact thickness.  I have this same complaint about gingerbread cookies too.  My solution is simply avoid cookies that involve this step. These sugar cookie bars are a perfectionist’s dream because there is essentially no perfection required.  I don’t have to fuss at all while making them.  In fact, not only are they easy (and stress free) to make, but you can whip them up quickly with minimal dishes to wash. …

The first thing I decided to do was to pick out my outfit …

Did you see the solar eclipse last week? My husband and I traveled to Nebraska with my father-in-law and his wife to be right near the centerline of the path of the eclipse’s totality (the part where the sun appears to be completely covered by the moon).  We picked a spot near some corn fields (check it out in satellite view mode to see how much corn we were in the middle of), set up our camera and telescope, and busted out our fancy cardboard solar glasses. As the eclipse started there weren’t really a lot of obvious differences in, well, …

Labor Day Recipes

Tina0 Comments

Last week I shared some of my favorite things that I’m looking forward to about Fall.  However, I’m not quite sure if I’m ready for summer to be over.  Mostly I’ll miss the fresh fruits and vegetables that are available locally this time of the year.  With the Labor Day holiday soon upon us, I thought I’d share some of my favorite summer recipes (with some never before seen photos) to enjoy on these last few days of the season. Corn Guacamole.  Why more places don’t include delicious corn in their guac is beyond me. Cold Sweet Potato Salad.  Everyone …
