What is more refreshing than fresh cheese, fruit, and bread?
Mmmmm,…delicious!
There are so many great recipes out there with so many yummy ingredients, but sometimes it’s nice to just get back down to the basics and eat simple foods.

September 27, 2007I love Pioneer Woman!!
September 26, 2007If you have not visited Pioneer Woman’s website yet, you must! She has two sites: “The Pioneer Woman”, which is all about her life and photography and “The Pioneer Woman Cooks”, which is all about cooking. I absolutely LOVE both of them, but I especially like the cooking one. I have not ceased in making a new recipe’s of hers…the recipes are so EASY and ALWAYS delicious!
So, the other day, my sweet husband requested HOT WINGS,… I had never made them, but luckily Pioneer Woman had! What a fun experience, but I did learn on thing, hot wings are NOT, in any way, whatsoever, HEALTHY!
Here are some pics of my endevours:
Deep Frying the wings in Canola Oil. Yes, did I mention yet that they are not healthy, in any way, WHATSOEVER! Oh yes, I may have told you that already… well, just warning you!
Continuing to deep fry and making the sauce :

My sister-in-law is having a baby girl and her name will be Karis. As a baby shower gift, I decided to make her personalized letters that spell Karis. I thought these would be a fun way to decorate the babies room. I had so much fun making them! Although, if I had to do it over again I would have made a few changes, but overall I am happy with them!
It was a pretty fun process,…and all you need are a few items!
Wood Letters
Acrylic Paint
Puffy Paint
Foam Brush
Thin Paint Brush
All of these items can be purchased at Michaels Craft Store.
First, I started with the wooden letters…
I painted the front side first with my foam brush…
Then I painted the back sides of the letters…
Then the front again, making sure there weren’t any clumps.
After this I allowed the letters to dry for about 10 minutes. Acrylic Paint dries quickly!
Then, I began to lightly sketch the design I wanted for the letters. My sister-in-law’s theme is “Love Bug” from the Carter’s line at Babies “R” Us, so I tried to draw the same pattern on the letters so that it will match her bedroom theme!
After this I began to paint the green stems and leaves with the acrylic paint.
Then I added flowers, butterflies, and ladybugs with the puffy paint.
Puffy Paint takes a bit more time to dry, so be careful!
This is the finished product!
So fun!! Welcome to the world, little Baby Karis!
