Hot Cross Buns

My daughter broke out her recorder the other day and played "Hot Cross Buns" for about a half an hour (blerg!). This prompted the kids to ask about hot cross buns. They wanted to eat them. I decided to oblige. I did a google search and quickly found out hot cross buns are hard. By hard I mean, they require yeast. Mommy doesn't do yeast. I am scared of yeast. I can do baking powder and/or soda. Those are my leavening agents. Needless to say, I redid the search and added "EASY" to the buns. I found the following recipe on cooks.com

What's Cooking Good Looking

I have been using a menu board for about a year. I play it by ear and figure it out week by week. During this year of board planning by week, I have realized we get into a funk of having the same food week to week. I did a stint of freezer meals to save some moolah, but it wasn't for us. The things we enjoy eating did not transfer well into freezer meals. I still freeze things that work, but not everything.

Hello~
I am attempting to blog... I know, I know. I have said this before, and even did for a millisecond. Life got in the way. I was attempting to juggle mommyhood, full time employment and full time studies. Studies has now taken a back seat. It breaks my heart, but it wasn't meant to be. I was too stressed, too grouchy, and that was not fair to (mostly my hubbers) my family. I am beginning this journey (again) as an outlet for my creative yearnings. The goal is to be honest about triumphs and disasters in homemaking and family raising. I still  work full time, so blogs may not be daily, but the goal is 4 times a week. I will post recipes, craft projects, family anecdotes, weight loss goals (and achievements!) and anything that strikes my fancy. So welcome to my world!!!
