How to Get Rid of Yeast Diaper Rash Since she was a baby my daughter has been prone to diaper rash. Even though we change her often, her sensitive skin sometimes can’t handle the littlest bit of moisture, and we end up with diaper rash. We’ve been working on combating diaper rash for a while now, but then there was a new enemy in town – Yeast Diaper Rash! We treated our daughter’s yeast diaper rash with Monistat cream....

Candy Corn Oreo Cookies Every year Oreo releases limited edition Candy Corn Oreo Cookies around Halloween time. Every year I go to Target waiting for them to stock the shelves. Last year, I went to Target 2 times a week for the entire month of October, and they were sold out every single time. The employees told me people they couldn’t keep them in stock. I was devastated. So imagine my happiness when I saw them in Target last week....

I love herbs! Don’t you? What starts as a couple small plants quickly turns into a wonderful smelling herb jungle! I’ve talked a lot about preserving herbs on the blog.

This is the quick microwave method but here’s how to dry parsley in the oven if you prefer that....

My prediction is that we might have a bad Winter this year. Already in the garden Upstate we have nights in the 20’s and a few days of snow. Plus I saw a white wooly bear caterpillar in the woods and Google told me they were signs of a deep Winter approaching. The garden is pretty much done for the year minus the collards, Brussels Sprouts and kale. The collards and Brussels Sprouts will call it quits when they’re ready to but I really wanted to save the kale....

Last year we had many heads of broccoli, much of when I froze to use in recipes all summer long. There was a week straight where we were cutting off multiple big heads of broccoli every single day. Broccoli – last year. Cauliflower though, that’s another story. We’ve never had great success with cauliflower. In the first few years we grew cauliflower about the size of half dollars. Then last year, we were growing decent size ones (although still on the smaller size) and both Hurricane Sandy and then a aphid apocalypse hit – both not being kind to the cauliflower....

In the past we didn’t have a bunch of success with bush beans in our 4×4 boxes so we didn’t have a lot of positive vibes, but something changed from that year to this year, because now those boxes are full of happy growing beans! Next year we’ll be filing those boxes full of beans from Spring to Fall… I can’t wait! This year we decided to give black beans and yellow eye beans a shot....

Do you love chicken and broccoli as much as I do? Goodness, I just love it. This is the chicken and broccoli recipe I love dearly and I have gotten such nice comments, emails and messages about it – I’m so glad you love it as much as I do! I was in Chinatown a few weeks ago where I was feeling hungry after acupuncture so I ran across the street to a shop called “Excellent Dumpling House”....

There’s something about Saturday morning that makes everyone want a home cooked breakfast. For many it’s the time to relax with the family and take a breather from the work week. As a little girl I always looked forward to Saturday morning breakfast, usually shared with a girlfriend of mine that would sleep over on Friday night. As soon as we woke up, we would head downstairs to watch Saturday morning cartoons and wait for Mom to bring in delicious smelling breakfast!...

The Best Slow Cooker Pot Roast Well that’s what my husband calls this meal because it’s one of his favorites. I love it too because we can just throw it in the crockpot and let sit all day, and when we come back, dinner is ready! Seriously, those meals are the best. Pot Roast meals are also customizable. Add whatever vegetables you have in your kitchen (or garden). We prefer carrots, potatoes, celery, onion and mushrooms with our pot roast, but you can basically add whatever vegetable you want....
