Happy Memorial Day Weekend! So far we’ve spent the holiday shopping for furniture, which is quite stressful as I have a terrible time visualizing how spaces should look before they’re furnished.

bran chocolate chip bars

A while ago I bought a box of bran cereal to make bran muffins. Since then I’ve made multiple batches of muffins, but I’m still trying to use up the cereal and have been cruising All Bran’s recipe database for ideas. Did you know you can make chicken enchiladas with bran cereal? Or how about [...]

Fuzz With Cake

We don’t know who Sue B. is, but she makes a good chocolate cake! At least according to Fuzz, who chose this cake as today’s recipe and did most of the baking.  Good job, Fuzz! This delicious cake is perfect for novice (or 8 year old) bakers since it doesn’t involve any creaming and can [...]
