    Egg Recipe: Classic Flan

    May 3, 2017 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I remember when my mom would make Classic Flan at home. It always seemed fancy, somehow, but it really isn’t too complicated. (You do need to be watchful during all parts of the preparation/cooking, though!) Did you know? Flan is a Mexican custard that can be served warm or cold…

    Favorite Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake

    May 10, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    To know me is to know I love baking. (And shoes and dresses and gardening, but those are all for different blog posts.) The first recipe I remember learning how to make as a kid was chocolate chip cookies and I had a kids’ baking cookbook that I very nearly…

    For the Love of Special K Bars

    October 28, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m fairly sure the Internet doesn’t really need another post with the world-famous Special K Bars recipe. I mean, seriously. We could all search a thousand recipe posts on Pinterest for these sinful delights. But I’m defying the blogging gods and posting this anyway because these bars are just too…

    Weekend Snaps | Happy Homemaker Edition

    October 26, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I just had the BEST weekend. I cooked, I baked, I washed the sheets on every bed in the house, I planted my garlic and cut down my hydrangeas and peonies, I grocery shopped and menu planned for the upcoming week, I wrote blog posts (yes plural!), I vacuumed up…

    Weekend Snaps | Summer in October?

    October 11, 2015 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’d like one more Sunday tacked on to the weekend. (Pretty please?) Fine. Be that way. 😉 I guess I’ll just share our weekend in a few snaps and stay in denial about that whole Monday thing coming soon. Teacher Man decided to re-paint the ceiling in our kitchen / great…

    Apple Crisp

    October 13, 2013 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I am in serious denial that it is Sunday night. Serious denial. I’m just not ready to go back to work and the weekday schedule tomorrow. My son would verbalize it this way: I’m just not feeling Monday. But while I can deny all I want, Monday is still coming straight at…

    Turkey Roll-Ups

    September 27, 2013 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m excited to share one of my favorite recipes ever – Turkey Roll-Ups! It’s simple but full of flavor and my go-to for get-togethers for sure. But first, I can’t tell you how happy I am to see Friday night. It’s not that I had a bad week – quite…

    Laundry is Relaxing?

    November 11, 2012 - By ldurben@charter.net

    After spending the past 5 of 6 weekends away from home, I couldn’t wait to hang at home this weekend with no big plans, other than dinner out Friday night. Don’t get me wrong – every one of those weekends away was fun and resulted in several of my recent…
