Dining at Disneyworld Part Four: California Grill
We had eaten at the California Grill last September and enjoyed our meal, but it was not my favourite this time it was my number one. I originally had California booked later in the week but because we added the dessert party I moved it to different night and was happy to get a reservation…
Dining at Disneyworld Part Three: Kona Cafe
I made an early 7:30am reservation for Kona Cafe. My plan was to walk over from the Grand Floridian, have breakfast at Koan then walk over to the TTC and catch the monorail over to Epcot hopefully for rope drop. The walk over was easy the path wasn’t to busy and it only took about…
New Embroidery Design: Mod Flowers
I have created a new embroidery design to use with your embroidery machine. It is a modern flower design inspired by mid century style. It is available at Snug-A-Bug Blankets in 3 sizes; small 99.3×67.1mm (3.91×2.64inch), medium 152.4×102.6mm (6.0×4.04inches) and large 226.3×152.3mm (8.91×6.0 inches), and a number of formats including PES, HUS, and DST.

The Best Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
My go to recipe for chocolate chip cookies comes from Martha Stewart. The cookies are chewy and moist and the recipe makes a big batch. I usually half the recipe unless I need them to feed a crowd. The recipe says it will make 3 dozen but usually get 4 dozen when I make the…
Dining at Disneyworld Part Two: The Flying Fish
We spent the afternoon at Animal Kingdom and saw some shows we missed last time, The Lion King and Flights of Wonder, and discovered our daughter had easily made the 40inch mark and would be able to ride more things than last time. Since we were staying at Grand Floridian we decided to valet park…
What’s For Dinner: Cashew Chicken
Cashew Chicken is one of my favourite easy to make dishes for dinner. The recipe comes from Everyday Food: Great Food Fast. It is a great go to meal if you want something that is flavourful and quick, a nice alternative to fast food or a frozen dinner. I usually like to serve it with…
Dining at Disneyworld Part One: Breakfast at the Grand Floridian’s 1900 Park Faire
I originally posted my food report over at the Disboards from our Disneyworld trip, and thought it might be enjoyed here on my blog. If you have been to Disneyworld you may know the craziness of planning your meals 6 months ahead of your trip. Reservations can be made at 180 days for your trip…
Handmade Gifts: Personalized Ragdoll
Last Christmas I decided to make my nieces and nephews dress up clothes for their gifts. For the girls I made Cinderella dresses and a Pirate and Woody (from Toy Story) for the boys. The gifts went over well, thank goodness since I was sewing day and night for two weeks to get them in…
Chocolate Marshmallow Cookies a Homemade Alternative to Mallomars
My daughter loves chocolate and marshmallow so I checked out Martha Stewart’s website looking for a recipe that she would enjoy. I found this recipe for Chocolate-Covered Marshmallow Cookies. It comes from the September 2010 Everyday Food magazine. I love Everyday Food, I have liked every recipe that I have tried and it is nice…
