Goat Cheese Bruschetta Layered Dip

Last weekend, I was at a Norwex Party where the hostess had the most beautiful spread of food on a gorgeous high top glass table. It all looked so elegant, but one of the appetizers in particular caught my eye. I wasn’t hungry, so believe it or not, I had excellent self control (surprising) and didn’t indulge on any of the beautiful goodies, but I came home thinking non-stop about this Goat Cheese and Bruschetta Layered Dip that was there. Setting out to re-create this beautiful appetizer, I realized how easy it actually was to make. Literally, it took me … Continue reading →

I have some VERY picky eaters in my house, but one thing that I can always count on is CHEESE!

Calling ALL Cheese Lovers to Cheesefest!   Whether you enjoy … Continue reading →

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

As some of you may know, I have been educating others in ways that they can radically reduce the use of chemicals in their homes. With this job, I visit other people’s homes to meet their friends and family and share with them ways that they can achieve this. What this means is that I leave hubby with the kids on weekends or weeknights. A few weekends ago, I came home to homemade Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies. Not only were there freshly baked cookies, but there were smiling faces, a unique recipe written by my daughter on a piece of … Continue reading →
