These were all made by me. So have fun with them. I would love to see what you do with them. Please send me a link.

Blueberries and Lemonade recipe page kit

The half of a pie plate is a cover if you want to put something in the plate. Just layer it on the top.

Apple page kit

2011-03-19T23:03:00.001-04:00

Ok, Ok!!! I will try to work on other color's besides red. It drives my family nuts, and even kinda drives me crazy! Most of my home is done in reds, Different shades, but still red. It just makes me feel comfy??????

As a result , I tend to make most my graphics with red. All except the strawberry crescent sandwich was made by me and can be used as CU.

Lobster's

2011-03-18T13:20:00.001-04:00

These are not my recipes, I found them on-line by accident and know that some of you will really like them.

I re-arranged them to fit a 8 1/2 X 11 page.

This is the link to that website, because they have other recipe's you might like.

Strawberry Freebie

2011-03-08T22:59:00.001-05:00

As you have likely already guessed, My favorite color is red. I love the look of strawberries, I wish there was more kitchen items with strawberries on them, But all I seem to find is apples. Oh well.

I found time today to make a few strawberry graphics and I thought I would share them with you.

I hope you have fun with them! (Yeah! I know the ice cream needs some work LOL)

They were all mine, so you are free to use them as CU if you like. If you do, I would love to see what you use them for. I see from my 4-shared account that most people don't like or can't use zipped files, so I made these as pngs on one page for your easier use. It is getting late and I am tired, so I didn't make one with a recipe. Tomorrow I have three toddlers here all day. Maybe I will get to putting one up in the evening.

Susan Branch recipe keeper

2011-03-06T20:11:00.000-05:00

I picked up this awesome recipe keeper at our local BJ's Club. It is perfect for anyone that does not want to use a plain binder. It has premade recipe pages that you only need to write your own recipes in. It has dividers, stickers, plastic sleeves for your recipes and much more. It measures 12 X 12 , but the pages are 8 1/2" x 11". I love it!

I tried her website, but, it seems it is no longer for sale there, But she has a bunch of recipes on her stationary that you can download for free and other items. it is so worth your while to check it out and browse her other sites as well.

It is however for sale on e-bay and the Find if you would like to have it yourself.

This is a link to her

St. Patrick's Day pages

2011-03-05T23:42:00.001-05:00

These really are the best biscuits ever. The first thirty years of ny married life, all I could seem to make was big brown hockey pucks. Then one day I made home baked beans and invited my sister Barb over to dinner. With her she brought the best biscuits ever. She told me her recipe and all of a sudden making good biscuits was easy. ( Thank you Barb, I should have called this page Barb's Best Biscuits ever! ;^)

And I will never lose the recipe because it is on the back of the Bakewell Cream can.

Easy Alfredo Sauce

2011-02-17T15:03:00.002-05:00

As hard as I try, I still seem to gravitate towards high fat foods. I'm eating more salads and chicken. But haven't found anything that deserves a recipe page yet. I'll keep trying.
Tubed graphics on these pages are from Susan Branch's recipe keeper.

Texas-Style Beef Ribs

Sorry!!

2011-02-12T23:11:00.000-05:00

For anyone that downloaded the raspberry cream cheese muffin recipe, I am sorry I was trying to hurry and I just noticed that I had not even finished the recipe..

I have fixed the page and uploaded it again with the completed recipe.

Supper

2011-02-10T17:48:00.000-05:00

Today I was told by my Doctor that I have to watch my sodium and fat intake, So I decided to make my favorite meal tonight, and start tomorrow.. I will still eat this, but sadly only about once a year.

I wonder if the family would like quiche for Christmas or Thanksgiving?? LOL, only kidding!

I might be putting healthy recipes on here, if I can find any that are good tasting.

Goodbye mac and cheese, sour cream on my potatoes and all you other yummy dishes.AAAAAHHH!

Broccoli and Ham quiche with sliced tomatoes and parsley on top, YUMMMMM!

Maybe a tossed salad on the side. (but since it is my fatty farewell meal, I will probally just eat quiche :^}

Valentines Day- Chocolate covered Cherries

2011-02-08T19:39:00.000-05:00

In my families cookbooks, I put family pictures in here and there to make it more personal. I was wondering if anyone would like to do that as well and if you do, let me know and I will share more of the frames I make for ours. This one is for Valentines Day, But it could also be used in any digital scrapbook.

Easy Super Bowl Buffalo Wing Pastries

2011-02-04T21:24:00.001-05:00

I liked this recipe page so much that I used it for my blog. I still find it difficult to make the blog graphics so that they are not blurry when I shrink them and I can never seem to get the header to be centered. But I'm still happy with it.

Blank recipe pages

2011-01-27T22:31:00.000-05:00

These did not end up looking like I had wanted them too, So I did not use them. But I think some of you will like to use them Remember PU only. .

Peanut Butter Fudge

2011-01-20T22:21:00.000-05:00

A little while back, I had posted a fudge recipe and I had wrote that it was peanut butter fudge and it wasn't.

So this one really is peanut butter fudge, (OOPS, Sorry)

Easy donuts

2011-01-20T12:40:00.001-05:00

These are great on a cold snowy day, with a cup of hot chocolate,

a warm quilt to snuggle in

and a big window to watch the snow fall.

As a reminder, everything I share is for personal use only. Unless I have marked it clearly that

I have made it and it is okay to use for CU.

Thanks again for your interest in my cookbook pages.

Enjoy

Chicken Casserole

2011-01-07T22:00:00.000-05:00

Here's a couple more that we like and I think you will too.

The popcorn balls are just that, popcorn balls! You can make snowmen, but I just said that

because I wanted to make a winter scene, LOL

You could use fruit roll-ups and paint with royal icing for the scarf. Or you could

roll out taffy and make the extras with that or what-ever you can think of that might be better

for the snowman. Its just plain fun for everyone in the family to make

Merry Christmas to all my blogger family!

If you all get tired of the same old color scheme, Let me know.

As you probably noticed I'm a bit partial to red's. Let me know what

colors you would like on the recipe pages and I will make them .

2010-12-17T17:42:00.001-05:00

I want to wish everyone a very

Merry Christmas!

and thank you all for visiting me all year.

I made this greeting and then realized that it would have been

better if I had used a real Maine lighthouse picture. LOL

I made it animated too, but I made it to large to upload animated.

Figgy Pudding with Custard sauce

2010-12-10T20:51:00.003-05:00

I have to admit that I have not made Figgy pudding before, But I thought I would try it this year.

It just sounds so much like a vintage Christmas. It seems that most supermarkets don't sell real suet, So you will need to find a local specialty butcher or meat market.

down load here

Okay! What's up with that?? I guess you shouldn't have a few glasses of Christmas cheer and then try to upload anything on the computer! Whoops!!!
I fixed the links and added the mac and cheese, since some of you got it instead of ham and scalloped potatos anyway. I think its right now LOL

MERRY CHRISTMAS

2010-12-07T22:30:00.001-05:00

4-shared seems to be up again for now. ( I'm not sure, it might have been my connection) So here is the other pages I have finished.

The Green tomato recipes I made up because I gave some that I made recently to a friend and he wanted the recipes. They are surprisingly good. I hope you like them.

Sorry! Its been so long since I posted any recipe pages.

2010-12-07T21:23:00.000-05:00

Well, I'll be back in a while to upload the rest of the pages. It seems that 4-shared 's server is down for the time being. I printed the Chocolate Ginger bread blank on a 1/2 fold card and it makes a pretty Christmas card.

2010-10-21T21:14:00.005-04:00

COOKBOOK COVER

2010-10-13T23:46:00.000-04:00

I made up a sample cookbook cover and a few blank pages, so you could start your own cookbook.

I did not add a spine graphic because the size of it would be decided by the size of binder you purchased, 1/2, 1, 1 1/2 or 2'' thick. All you need is a normal binder that you can slip a picture into the covers of. (You can get these almost anywhere). and a bunch of vinyl page protectors.

You can scroll down through my blog and find a lot of recipes to put into it as well as blank pages that you can add you own recipes to.

This is a link the another great blog that you can find many more interesting and yummy recipe pages.

My first quilt

2010-10-01T14:31:00.001-04:00

I have wanted to make a quilt for a really long time, But felt very intimadated by the thought of all those little pieces going together right.

This past week I used paint shop to design what I wanted it to look like. And enlarged each piece to the correct size for a paper pattern.

Then I committed myself by going shopping and buying the fabric.(oops! I gotta do it now!)

The fabric prints were not the same of course, But I think it will be even prettier.

I hope it doesn"t end up in a box in the closet. LOL like a bunch of other things I have started.

This is how the center flower looks. It has a little brighter colors than it looks here. This is as far as I got. I love the rose print I found.

WONTONS AND NO-BAKE COOKIES

2010-10-01T11:47:00.000-04:00

I know! I know! They don't go very well together. But they are both things I could eat until they came out my ears. So I hope you enjoy them too.

Little Helper preview

2010-09-30T12:56:00.000-04:00

When I looked at this a second time, I realized it does not look like a preview. I was just having fun with it. So to stop any confusion. I made another preview.

Little Helper

2010-09-29T22:06:00.001-04:00

I tried to think of other things,( besides bugs and stuff) that would go in this kit and keep coming up blank. So that said, I guess its done. I hope you enjoy using it.

I also made this with this kit for you to enjoy
(I forgot to put the bird in the kit and I must have deleted the birdhouse, Because I can't find it anywhere??)

I love flowers

2010-09-29T17:27:00.000-04:00

I made this image, I guess its called a tag. for a friend of mine. I thought you might like to have it to. It is animated, but I don't think it will post as animated. Maybe, but the download will be though.

Blog template change

2010-09-29T17:13:00.000-04:00

I have been trying to change my blog forever! When I finally figured it out , it was so simple I can't believe it took me so long.

I used "Little Cook's Kitchen" for it. I Kind of like it,But I've had the other one so long I need to get used to this one.

Little Cooks Kitchen

2010-09-25T01:18:00.000-04:00

I'm not sure if this is interesting to you all! But it was relaxing to put it together. My personal life is just a little hectic lately and I find it takes my mind off things for a while to create these kinda silly kits. I hope someone will find a use for them. :^} There is everything that's shown on the preview, plus a bunch more. Most are scaled to the fit on this 12" x 12" preview, but not all. So you might have to resize some.

I was raised in a bunch of foster homes and I never had a doll house of my own and never had much for really good home cooked foods (although I still like a bowl of plain macaroni and butter), and I spent a lot of my adult life learning to make yummy comfort foods. (hence the recipe pages) Not always so healthy (CRINGE!!!) so I suppose that is why I tend to make this kind of kit?

I am starting on a different room tomorrow, Maybe living room. I'm not sure yet. In one home I was not allowed to sit on the sofa or chairs, But sometimes that was fine by me, It was a lot warmer sitting on the floor in the corner beside the wood stove.

Personal use only!

Yeah!!!

2010-09-03T08:54:00.004-04:00

I was going to post a message directing you all to my other blog. But I noticed that for some reason this blog is finally allowing me to post pictures and links again, Whaa hooooo! I will be posting on this one again, but I'm not going to delete my other one just in case. LOL
Maybe I will make and sell things on the other one. I have thought about it for a long time and just kept procrastinating. I worked for a clothing designer for many years and I like creating mostly kitcheny type things, aprons, placemats, table runners and that sort of thing. I might make up a few things to test the waters and wait and see if it would be worth my while.
I just finished canning a ton of things, that I wish I could sell but OSHA would never approve it so
Ive been giving away bunches of things. Black raspberry, raspberry, rhubarb and thimble berry preserves and jams, my spaghetti sauce (fresh ripe tomatos), green tomato pickles, bread and butter pickles, green tomato relish and last but not least green tomato mincemeat pie filling. I'm making raspberry bars today with some of my jam and then I'm getting out of the kitchen!! Ive had enough cooking for a while. I don't care if I ever see another green tomato right now

I have a small kit and a couple of recipe pages almost ready. I will post them here soon.

Just checking ??

I have a new blog site now (link to it is below this post)

2010-08-06T15:42:00.008-04:00

Hi everyone!

I finally got a new blog up and running. I have been persistently trying to make this old blog work or
to make my own blog layout with my own graphics. YEAH RIGHT! I want to tell you I am completely in awe of all of you that know how to manipulate HTML . I tried and tried but in the end I gave up and found this layout online, Which I am happy with! PHEW!!!!

In between that I am baby-sitting my two grandsons Shawn and Chris for the summer and two days a week I also have the two babies from the family upstairs. And most days my daughter Veronica and granddaughter Arianna come over as well to swim with the boys. So not much time to blog anyway.
I have posted some new things to download on my other blog, (as this one will not let me post pictures anymore?) So please come over and see me.

Click here to link to my new blog

Posting????

2010-07-23T23:13:00.000-04:00

I am at a loss with this blog. I can post, but I still can't post images or links. Even though I have asked blogger for help twice. I have a couple of other blogs that I set up and did not like so I have not used them, But they will still let me post everything. So I guess I will have to set up another one so can post right again. When I get it finished I will let you all know where it is. Til then I will come see you all on your sites.

????

2010-07-07T16:47:00.001-04:00

I'm not sure what is wrong, but , at first I couldn't upload my preview. So I reverted to classic blogger. Now I can't upload a link?????

I didn't remember that I had another kit called baby boy, until I uploaded this one to 4-shared, but this one was capitalized, so it still works, LOL

Blueberry Fairy Pie

2010-04-27T01:26:00.000-04:00

When I was a young girl, On summer vacations a lot of us older kids would go rake blueberries for the Wyman company, to get spending money. I think we ate more than we got paid for,LOL I remember that when we got home we would have to go into the lake to wash off all the mess, before we were allowed in the house. (we would be stained up to our elbows, knees and our mouths with blueberry juice.) Anyway I never got sick of them, I still love eating blueberry anything.
