I have been trying my hand at baking a lot more lately. While I have always loved to cook normal foods, desserts are something I have just never really attempted. I don't eat sweets for the most part, so it just never occurred to me to learn to bake. My husband, on the other hand, absolutely loves desserts. So one of my New Year's Resolutions this year has been to bake something at least once a week. Surprisingly, I guess I am pretty good at it! Everything I have made so far has been very, very good, and this Peaches and Cream Pie is no exception! It's rich and creamy, and very juicy. It's very good on its own, but even better with fresh whipped cream or even Cool Whip dolloped on top. Want the recipe? Keep reading! It's been a crazy week here! We're STILL getting over being sick, and then we found out we have mice getting into our pantry. (Which totally and completely freaked me out, by the way...I was going into the kitchen and opening the pantry with a butcher knife in hand!) I didn't want to use poison or traps, because we do have small kids and puppies. So after a ton of frantic researching, all while experiencing the heebie-jeebies, we decided our best option would be to get a cat! Now I will admit, I have never really been a cat person. Most of the cats I had growing up were downright evil...Plus, I have always had pretty severe cat allergies. However, my husband and kids LOVE kitties, and apparently, cats are a great mouse-deterrent.
So we rescued a kitty, and we named her Noodles. She is a huge, fat gray and white cat, and she is super sweet! (Yes, pigs are flying...I actually like this cat!) She is very gentle and tolerant of the kids, and even does well with the dogs...Although she did bat Bear in the face when he got in her way. So this cat, while sweet and gentle, won't be bullied. She also parked her furry butt right in front of my pantry and sat there for 4 hours, waiting...It's like she knows the mice are there! Good girl, Noodles!! The best part? I don't seem to be allergic to her...Which is strange. Anyway, that's what we've been up to. Now I have some winners to announce! All winners have been notified by e-mail and most have already confirmed. Be sure to check your e-mails, including spam! Thanks so much to everyone who entered, and be sure to check back often for more giveaways! Yo Gabba Gabba: Charlene S. Aquaphor: Sheila A. Bob the Builder: Jamie B. Thomas & Friends: Michael B. Novica: Lauren L. Udderly Smooth: Melinda S. Bobbi-Toads: Sandy V. Like most women I know, I have a LOT of purses. My husband might say that I have far too many. In fact, he has pleaded with me to re-home a few of them before I add any more to my collection. I have larger bags for all of my essentials when traveling with the babies, and I have smaller, more elegant bags for nice dinners out or parties. And of course, I have several medium sized bags for everyday use. I think part of the reason my husband hates my handbag obsession is because they tend to completely take over our closet...Currently, many of them are on the top shelf, while others are in boxes, taking up the space he would like to claim for his own things. (Silly, silly man!) My only real complaint is that when I go looking for a certain purse, it usually involves a lot of digging, and my purses end up scattered everywhere, if only for a little while. That's why I was so excited to learn about the Pursenal Butler. This is a sturdy, attractive piece of furniture that allows you to keep your purses organized and at arm's reach. This floor stand is designed to hold up to 12 purses, and can support 100lbs. So yes, you can leave all of your stuff in your purses when you hang them up. This is awesome because I don't always have the time or desire to empty my purses before hanging them up or putting them away. The Pursenal Butler even comes in several beautiful color options that are sure to match any decor. I think the pink would be a great option for those girly-girls or teens out there, while the black or brown would make quite the statement in any room. There is even a classic, Antique White that has a fabulous, shabby chic look to it. So whether your decor is modern, traditional, or even feminine and flirty, there is a Pursenal Butler that is bound to be a perfect addition to your home. It would even be wonderful for small business like spas, salons, or nail boutiques! Valentine's Day Coachlicious EventHosted by Mom Powered Media Prize: Coach Madison Floral Handbag Event dates: 1/31 - 2/14 Free Blog Event! Sign-up here, BLOGGERS WANTEDI am always looking for new things to do with beef. I make a killer pot roast with gravy, but I wanted to change things up a bit. Since my husband loves German foods, I immediately thought of Sauerbraten. I have made this several times, since my ex-husband is a redneck..oops...I mean avid hunter, and would like me to prepare deer roasts in this manner. (Poor Bambi! No, I don't eat game. No offense to those of you who do! ) So I thought I would surprise Dan with this German dish using real beef, since we don't do the whole hunting thing here. Making Sauerbraten is a process...It takes a few days. The meat must be marinated in a vinegar based mixture for 2-3 days, which allows the meat to become super-tender and get that great, sour flavor that the dish is named for. Imagine the most tender, delicious pot roast but with an unexpected yet savory tang...That, my friends, is what you get with Sauerbraten! Needless to say, Dan was ecstatic and absolutely loved this meal. I served the Sauerbraten with red-skin mashed potatoes and glazed baby carrots. It was fantastic! Of course you can go full on German and serve pickled red cabbage, sauerkraut, beets, or boiled potatoes with it as well. Want the recipe? Keep reading!

Now that we're back in my home state of Ohio, (thank God!) we're finding that there are a lot of North-Eastern Ohio foods to try. Jo-Jo's are my favorite, and Dan LOVES Sauerkraut Balls. Basically, they're like a Reuben in a nice little deep fried ball of yumminess. They're also surprisingly simple to make! This year for our Super Bowl party, I will definitely be making a big batch of these. They're totally man-friendly, and my kids love them, too! I have a feeling I will be making them quite often, but I don't mind. It means Dan won't have to run out to Rockne's every time he has a hankering for these tasty little treats. Want the recipe?
