Organic cure to kill flying gnats

08 Jun 2013 by

I have been starting seed and have some small garden veg in my potting shed. I had then gotten some plants from a friend, problem the plants had these gnats. I thought they were just fruit flies or something. I later found out by researching online that these type of garden flying gnats actually live off the roots and can kill the plant because of the baby gnats eating the fine roots.

So after looking all over at different things, I know I didn’t want to use any sort of  pesticide because of the fact that it is my food … More

Fun Bun Bento

21 May 2013 by

I had seen on some website a bit ago (I don’t remember who) they stamped their breakfast pastries. I thought how fun and put it in the files of my brain. Luckily it did not go in the recycle bin in my brain.

While shopping with my girls I found a bin of stamps on clearance, I could not pass it up. Then the file opened and I said,  hey I can use this for food and BENTO!!!!  So later on with food coloring in hand, I stamped up some mini sausages wrapped in biscuits and baked them up.  This … More

Crazy Kitty Bento

21 May 2013 by

Here is the first summer bento I made for my kiddo. I made her this crazy Kitty because we have a neighbor where we live and he has these two cats that always sit in his window and they meow at my kiddo when she comes near. She giggles and says “hi my kitty friends” and they respond by meowing at her which she loves.

The bento Kitty is a steamed BBQ pork bun, with meat and cheese cutouts for the face, lettuce ears and shredded carrots for the hair.  I used some cutters to make kiwi flowers, cut a … More

Love Monster Bento

21 May 2013 by

I am so gearing up for Halloween here but as it is not even October I could not start with spooky bentos. So I opted to make a Love Monster Bento for my kiddo.

We are using some gluten products lately as I am sure you can tell by my posts and I will say my kiddo mostly missed bread, alas she has Momma’s love of carbs, poor baby…

So now we have a love monster sammi, made of a bagel(you could still go GF with this) with turkey for hair and non dairy cheeses for teeth, eyes and heart … More

Kitty & Doggie Bento

21 May 2013 by

I wanted to make an elaborate bento this morning but there was just too much going on. Even the picture I took was rushed. I am really considering doing my bentos the night before as I just seem so be falling behind in the past few mornings. I still think this quick Kitty and Doggie Bento turned out cute though.

Kitty & Doggie Bento is just a quick BLT sandwich with a kitty and doggie baran sheet placed on top. I have a silicon grass baran in the middle with some purple grapes on a star pick also. Below is … More

Simple Stitch Bento

16 May 2013 by

Today I had no inspiration and no time. That means I end up making a bento that I usually would not post, but I figured why not show my uninspired days. My kiddo does not mind them so why should I.  It is not that I don’t like this bento just doesn’t flow for me today. I need to go shopping for things because I like to fill all the void spots. I like them a little more stuffed looking I guess.

Simple Stitch Bento was a simple bento because it was nice and easy to put together. I have … More

Cute Little Lion Bento

13 May 2013 by

At kiddos request she wanted an animal bento. She said she likes them the best. With Spring here and the weather was so nice but so rainy the other day. It made me think of that saying of how March enters  in like a lion and comes out like a lamb, well that is how our May is here in Colorado.  So with that saying in my mind I thought I would make some cute little lion bento. I was going to add the lamb but I didn’t think kiddo would get it and think the lion would eat the … More

Product Review: FromYouFlowers.Com = no thanks

12 May 2013 by

Mother’s Day I like so many people went online to order flowers to my Mom who lives far away. I was fooled by the pictures and web site of FromYouFlowers.com.  I wish I had seen a real review of the company. Next time I will use a more trusted company like I have in the past. I don’t even want to say how much I paid with shipping and taxes as it is a utter embarrassment.

I was very dissatisfied when I saw the pictures of what was sent. When I contacted the company their response :
The disclaimer states … More

GF Mini Pot Pie

09 May 2013 by

Spring here is cold one day and warm the next as you know from my previous posts. Today was rainy and cold (thank goodness it didn’t turn to snow) and it is days like these where I want to make some comfort food. I wanted something warm and yummy to bake up and one of my families favorite foods is chicken pot pies.  With kiddo on her GF diet I decided that she definitely should not miss out on all the yum, so I wanted to make her own special little GF pies.

I used Bisquick GF for the crust. … More
