In the Raw MommyParty with Family, Friends & Fudge December 19, 2014

‘Tis the season for spending time with family and friends and if you throw in some homemade fudge it’s even better. It seems as though we are all running around a mile a minute so it’s nice to slow down, take a breather and have fun with our loved ones.

Getting together last Friday night with friends was a cause for celebration, we laughed, played games, decorated the tree and ate some delicious fudge that I

had made with Monk Fruit in the Raw.

Eating fudge brings back so many wonderful childhood memories and by using Monk Fruit in the Raw, a zero calorie sweetener, it made for a great adult indulgence.

Ingredients for this sweet treat:

2 1/2 cups of Monk Fruit in the Raw

1/4 cup butter

1 small can evaporated milk

1 jar Mamarshmallow fluff

3/4 tsp salt

3/4 tsp vanilla

1 package semi-sweet chocolate

Mix the first five ingredients, stirring over low heat until blended

Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring slowly

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and chocolate until melted.

Pour into a buttered 9×9″ pan and cool

Cut into bite size pieces or roll into balls and sprinkle with confectioners sugar

Sitting around laughing and playing games was a great way to kick off a holiday weekend. We even sweeten the tree with a few boxes of Monk Fruit in the Raw!

What sweet treat brings back childhood memories for you?

It was nice having Kayla home from college for the holidays! Friday night turned into a family fun game night

Funny Flea Market Finds October 8, 2013

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday

I trust you all had an enjoyable weekend with an opportunity to be outdoors as it was simply gorgeous in our neck of the woods. On Saturday, it was a bright, sunny 85 degrees, a perfectly glorious Indian Summer day.

I spent the day at Dutch Country Farmers Market trying to make a little extra cash, de-cluttering my nest trying to get rid of items that we no longer need, want or use anymore. On the first Saturday of every month beginning in April and ending in November, you can rent 3 parking spaces for $15.00, to turn your trash into someone else’s treasure!

Yes…I sold a Mink Coat! I wish PETA would!

A perfect fit, now she waits for the cold weather!

I didn’t get much of a chance to walk around which is a good thing, because I didn’t want to spend my profits nor did I need to buy more stuff only to get rid of it later.

Trying to turn my trash into someone else’s treasure!

You can find almost anything at a Flea Market, some things are usable others are just unusual, check out what had me scratching my head. I tried to figure out the thought process going into making these purchases – what do you think?

I hope this didn’t come from a major intersection!

Okay…so where do you use these?

Happy Halloween My Pretties!

Perfect for the front porch to scare away the kiddies or put in the window to repel a thief!

Family Fun for a Buck!

For Family Fun Game night, I can understand that, but Rummikub is an old game and there were missing pieces…even at a buck I didn’t understand this purchase.

Speaking of unusual, check out these cool modes of transportation.

Jazzier than a Hover Round

Love a BMore Raven’s Fan!

No need for speed here!

It was a long day but I made enough money to pay for groceries and was still able to donate 7 boxes of clothing and miscellaneous household items to Goodwill.

Flea Market Finds Are Fun!

What is the funniest Flea Market find you’ve ever seen or purchased?
