Hello friends,
today is the first official day of Autumn but by now you’ve noticed that the blogs are filled with great recipes and awesome looking foods for Fall. Autumn is the season for hibernating indoors and cooking meals in anticipation of the cold winter winds and upcoming holidays. I am always looking for quick and easy family meals and now with Malik in college those with smaller portions.
The Pocket Sous Chef, “Da Vinci’s Guide To Cooking For 1+1” is a cookbook written for small families, singles, newlyweds, students and professionals in mind. This easy to follow cookbook is jam packed with a variety of recipes as well as useful tips and guides. There are over 60 recipes with colorful images and an accessory list, shopping tips and conversion charts.
The Pocket Sous Chef would also be a great gift for the foodie in your life or for new brides, parents with kids in college, as well as home cooks looking for new recipes.

Hello Friends and Welcome to the Weekend Wind-Down Party!
I am definitely enjoying all of your posts with mouth-watering recipes, fabulous fashions, cool crafts and wise words of wisdom. I am not a baker but some of you ladies have inspired me so I wanted to share some cookies that I made last week.
At Walmart I noticed a new line of cookie mix from Pillsbury and for only $1.00 so you know I had to try them out, and the frosting was only $1.48.
With only a few ingredients, these Orangesicle Cookies were absolutely delicious!
After the butter was room temperature soft, I mixed it with an egg and the cookie mix then rolled into balls.
Baked for the suggested time but then added a few minutes for them to darken. After they cooled for 15 minutes, I frosted and sprinkled these delicious cookies – thank you Pillsbury!
A tall glass of milk or even a refreshing glass of summer tea (recipe) makes this a wonderful weekend treat!
Now let’s get this party started with Congratulations to this week’s Featured Bloggers!

Hello friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
Here we are again, at the end of another blessed week and knocking on the door to what should be a gorgeous weekend. Hubby and I have a wedding to attend tomorrow and on Sunday we will be taking our son out to dinner to celebrate his 22nd Birthday. His birthday was actually on Monday but if you read yesterday’s post you’d know that I was in Atlantic City so we didn’t get to celebrate. He is also scheduled to have maxillofacial surgery on Monday morning, so please pray for a successful procedure.
Take a look at these guys, I saw them on the Boardwalk in AC and thought about how much this means to me in my daily life.
So many of you stopped by to add some fantastic posts at last week’s party and we truly appreciate you all.
Congratulations to this week’s FEATURED Bloggers.

Hello Friends and Happy Fri-Yay!
I trust you all had a wonderful week and are now gearing up for a fun filled or relaxing weekend. It was definitely a busy week for me and the fam, Malik was on Spring break so he was able to shovel 2 yards of mulch into the backyard, needless to say, he wasn’t happy but it needed to be done. Saturday, I cleaned out the garage and replaced part of the gate around the pool injuring my arm in the process – hubby couldn’t help which made the job a bit more difficult but at least it’s done! Homeowners always remember, “you never own a house, the house owns you!”
Resurrection Sunday after Sunrise Service I came home and took a nap. Later in the day I did a little yard work only to get my first dose of poison oak clearing out the garden, don’t ask me how because it always seems to find me. I read a blog post that stated banana peels are good to stop the itch so I tried it, it worked but only temporary, so if you have a better remedy please share.
If you follow me on Instagram you know that Easter dinner was wonderful, Turkey Ham with pineapples, collard greens, sweet potatoes and a No-Bake Strawberry Cheesecake for dessert – yum!
Welcome back to the Weekend Wind-Down Party, I don’t know about you but I am having a great time – so many great posts – thank you!
