That’s right!!! DIP!  You can’t watch such an exciting football game without dip and chips, come on now.   Not only do we root [...]

Wow, the judges had a HARD time narrowing down the entries into the Hot Sauce, Honey, and Corn Flakes Food Challenge, in fact, so hard that they could only narrow it down to five instead of three!  That means it’s up to you to pick My Wooden Spoon’s Food Challenge winner for January!  Let’s get [...]

The big Sunday football game is right around the corner and what better helper could you ask for to help you make all those appetizing dips and delicious food than the Magic Bullet To Go! Well, maybe a chef to actually make the food for you right? lol I know many folks who have these [...]

One of the hardest things for me to find in my quest to get fit, is healthier sweet treats that are actually good and I’ve tried a lot. I had the chance to try Skinny Cow a long time ago and have been hooked ever since! Have you tried it? I LOVE the [...]

When Wilton asked me to do a review, I had no idea all the wonderful goodies they would be sending would be so fabulous and make little man go CRAZY!!
As a long time user of Wilton, I honestly knew this review would be biased because well, I have always loved them.   My son’s 4th birthday [...]

When I start something like the recent Food Challenge, I’m always nervous about having no entries so you can imagine my surprise when I saw a total of 18 entries into January’s food challenge.  On top of that, I had several nonbloggers which felt great because it tells me that people really do read my [...]

My father-in-law loves lamb ribs so he’s always coming up with ways to cook them.  He showed up the other day with a sack full of groceries, prepared to cook just for me!  What a nice surprise to get don’t you think?  Anyways, I sat back and watched him cut, chop and stir until the [...]

While I prefer apple butter with homemade tortillas, eating apple butter bread is the next best thing. This is a pretty simple recipe and would be great with some morning coffee or milk don’t you think?  This bread is MUCH better the next day, after it’s had time to settle and completely cool off. If [...]

Every since I posted my homemade pancake recipe, I’ve received TONS of requests asking for a waffle recipe.  Well today, I bring you a waffle recipe that is light & fluffy and made from scratch.  It’s a recipe that was handed down to me from a dear old friend who has much more kitchen wisdom [...]

The recent cold weather here in Texas makes me crave hot soup and one of the most flavorful, authentic Mexican soups out there is Pozole.  This is a Spanish soup that has a staple that we use in so many things, corn and in this case, hominy.  And by simply removing the meat in it, [...]

UPDATED: this food challenge is over. Thanks so much to those who participated!
I’ve been wanting to host a food challenge for such a long time now and thought 2010 would be the perfect time to start it! This is a monthly challenge with a grand prize winner.  You DO NOT have to be a [...]

2009 has been such a wonderful year for My Wooden Spoon. I’m so grateful for you guys that read and support my blog. I’m grateful for the opportunities that have come way. I’ve had so much fun working with Oscar Mayer in making my very own sandwich, being a Velveeta Kitchenista/Spokesblogger, partnering [...]

When I first followed my husband down to Kingsville, Tx, I had no idea what the King Ranch was, much less how well known it was.  He has family that works there, Ricky and Sammy to name a couple so I was introduced to the history of it all real quick.
Anyways, not only do they [...]
