A Tasty Science Experiment aka Pineapple-Angel Food Cake


Holy Yum.

Barbara passed this “secret” recipe (that she got off of Pinterest) with us yesterday.

Seriously the easiest and best dessert EVER.

Gabi graciously made it for us last night.

Here you go:

1 Angel Food Cake Mix (the one step kind not the two step)

1 20 oz. can of Crushed Pineapple

Mix in a large bowl as it will look like it’s blowing up…it’s like a GREAT science experiment!

Let it settle a little. Β Pour into a greased 9×13 pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Easy peasy.

Serve with a dollup of Cool Whip on the top!

Yes, this is the picture of my piece tonight…

And yes, there is a bite out of it! πŸ™‚

Have a great day!

Flowers Soothe the Soul…


We’ve had some pretty weird weather here in northern Minnesota…

It seems as though my flowers are as confused as we are.

Not that I’m complaining – you see it has somehow made my tulips so confused that they’ve been blooming for almost two weeks!

Just take a peek! Read more

Sunday Blessings…


I admit it, I’m too tired to write a full post tonight.

Instead, I’m sharing my favorite blessing which is sung by our beautiful choir at the end of our church service.

(yes, I quietly sing along)

I hope this brings you into a wonderful week!

May the Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord make his face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you.

May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you,
and give you peace.

The Never-Ending Basement Project


It’s the age old story of starting a project anticipating it will take about 3 days to finish.

You start off the first day with gusto…all geared up to get this project done.

For us the first day began with hauling out moldy storage (yes masks and garbage bags were utilized).

This mold arrived courtesy of a misguided attempt by the 12 year old to put away the dolls in a basement closet…which then did not have the ability to air out/dry out. Β Hrmph. Read more

The Most INCREDIBLE Therapeutic Massage EVER!


If you know me, you know that I generally don’t spend money on massages.

Yes, I like getting a massage, I think most people do, but…there is that money thing…and I just can’t justify it with other bills to be paid.

HOWEVER,

It was recommended to me that I find someone who could do myofascial release, so I did some searching.

This woman, this Valerie Nesteruk, has not been trained in that area, and she stated as much when we talked. Β (Honesty…I like that.) Read more
