Homemade Vanilla Extract Recipe

21 Sep

Hello again friends! I have just made homemade vanilla extract-and it was a success! This has been something that I’ve had on my to-do list for years. Many many years ago, Martha Stewart had shown a simple recipe to make homemade vanilla extract in her magazine and then used them as gifts for her friends at Christmas. I told myself…

Thanksgiving debate…turkey or ham? I have made m Thanksgiving debate…turkey or ham?
I have made many turkeys on Thanksgiving Day, but my fam chooses ham.  This year, I will most likely order a honey baked ham for our dinner.  Not only will it save me time and energy, I am positive that all leftovers (if there are any) will be eaten. 
Do you serve something other than turkey on Thanksgiving?
Regardless of what is eaten on your day of thanks, be sure you set a pretty table!  Here’s one of my tables decorated in happy colors for Fall.
I hope you have a blessed and happy weekend!

Well, October means chocolate candy to me!🍫🍫🍫
One of my favorite childhood candy treats is Reese’s @reeses peanut butter cups.
You just can’t go wrong with the delicious combination of peanut butter and chocolate. 
When my daughter was planning a Halloween party, I knew I wanted to make Muddy Buddies but decided to go all-out by throwing in everything chocolate, peanut butter and Reese’s to make an unbelievable snack treat. 
The recipe is on the blog!
WARNING—Do not make this alone like I did. You will need supervision to make sure taste testing is held to a minimum!

I recently showed how to make the extract on the blog and calculated how much it cost to make…not to mention a blind taste test with the family to see if the homemade extract really tasted better than store bought. 
The results surprised even me!
