port and icecream.... wonder if chocolate would work? never thought of that. And drunken prunes... Drunken everything... Love this question... YAY, MORE PORT FOR ME!!!

Mine's boring (sorta)... kettle popcorn. Flavored, of course. I did a great Japanese inspired pot with ginger, sesame seeds and brown sugar. And same as Sarahrenee. Pizza out of anything! Don't even need sauce all the time. Or cheese, but then you need sauce (or something like it)! Anyway, LOVE this post. Stealing!!!

I love Like a Mom! My life is still upside down even after all these years being a mom and I often find myself refueling at the kitchen counter, a little bit like a car, several times a day. It's nice to eat things sometimes where it's not just ingredients you pop in your mouth and go. And I know this recipe refers to New Parents, but I'm not bothered that I've been a parent for 6 years now. New no longer, but the recipe still works for me (if I had enough nuts anyway)!

Personally, I like articles that have a voice behind it and not a boring, lifeless, PC recipe card. I mean, aren't we all coming from some kind of experience or background? Should we leave out our story every time we pick up the "pen" and strip all life out of our writing? This recipe is inviting everyone in on the cookie party, no one is left out, and it's pointing out how it's important to take care of yourself and have pleasure in life even when you are busy caring for others. Or, if you wish, busy studying, busy teaching, busy giving, busy, busy, busy--we all forget ourselves in this fast paced world. So GUYS, it's warm inside, come on in and have a nibble! :D

As for the recipe, looks super good and satisfying but my peanut butter is precious to all here. And our peanuts as well. Maybe one day! Or perhaps I'll figure out how to tweak it. But if someone wants to share some with me...

I've never tried freezing whole pieces of avocado, but pureed avocado, yes. I put it in mini mason jars and used it mostly for pastas and spreads. It was still pretty creamy and yummy! Did not try it for dips though. I do pretty much what neon daisy does. The fridge works well for me too. But if I had a huge box of them, I'd likely try to freeze some of them.

I feel as though the whole place was done just for the photos. Like a piece of art. Makes my brain feel funny. I love it!! I wanna visit! It's great that you were able to benefit so much from the huge change. Bravo!

Haha. I'm terrible, I never think this far ahead. I often use it as an excuse to shuffle/reorganize (my poor family). Or I always find a spot to shove something in if I find something new to add to the pantry. And we tend to use up everything, so I guess that helps.

You have ReStores in Canada too! Eh! ;D

I no longer have one but I did froth milk and make tea with it. I even bought a mini one once to froth my milk--cheap hand milk frother! It was geeky and fun. Now rinsing things, I never thought of that... why not?! I want to get another one!!

Wow! What a special young woman and a special family too.

oh yes, the pigeon wins, wins, wins. My kids know three birds here, pigeons, seagulls and crows.
