Guest Post: Kelly the Kitchen Cop on Blogging Advice

By: Hallee

When Hallee asked me to do a guest post for her so she & Gregg could get away for some alone time, I was happy to help. Since her blog covers a wider range of topics than my health & nutrition blog does, I thought I’d do something a little different than normal and share blogging advice with you from many of the amazing bloggers in my niche. The tips below are from seasoned bloggers for newer bloggers, for all those crazy people out there who have jumped into the fray and decided to take on this wild adventure!

Creation: Good Old Young Universe Part III

By: Gregg

I documented evidence from comets, meteors and meteorites, our fellow planets in our solar system, and our sun. All of the empirical evidence suggests that the earth cannot be billions or even millions of years old. There are an astonishing number of factual evidences that our world is quite young.

Guest Post: Natalee’s Ben Franklin Birthday Cupcakes

By: Hallee

I tried to think of ways to make a glass armonica, a furnace, reaching claw, and a flexible urinary catheter. I found that these tutorials although might prove amusing to me and to those who read this would not prove useful to most people performing cupcakery. Somehow a ‘congrats on passing the kidney stone’ cupcake just didn’t feel quite right. I did feel however the kite could easily be used for a spring party or a birthday party and the glasses could be a fun addition to an ‘over the hill’ party. Hope I haven’t embarrassed myself too much and I do hope that I get to show off more complicated cupcakery in the future, but these were fun, educational, and hey darn tasty too!

Natalee’s Oatmeal Raisin Cupcakes

By: Hallee

My friend Natalee agreed to do a guest blog for me while my husband and I ran away for a romantic weekend alone. When looking at the dates for the weekend, we discovered that one of the days fell on Benjamin Franklin’s birthday. As a tribute to this American icon, Natalee created a recipe using only ingredients that were found in Mr. Franklin’s time. She then decorated them in brilliant ways to show off Mr. Franklin’s contributions to history and culture. The post showing how to decorate them can be found here. This is a wonderful recipe to do with your children as a homeschooling aid.

Guest Post: Money Saving Meg on Outlet Shopping

By: Hallee

I meet with friends semi-annually at the nearby outlets to share a meal, quickly catch up on our lives, and give our children a chance to play together. We look forward to this so much. It is not just about the outlet deals, but the camaraderie and fun associated with the trip.

By: Hallee

My very dear friends and some respected and loved fellow bloggers are filling in for me for a long overdue weekend away with my husband.

Essentials: Pans, Frying Pans, Woks

By: Hallee

I LOVE these pans. I will admit that I don’t use the 6″ pan often. I would consider this set complete without it. I use the 10″ pans ALL THE TIME. I use them for grilled cheese, casseroles, sauces, fried chicken, fried fish, doughnuts — you name it, I use these pans to cook it. I would be lost without these pans.

Critical Thinking: Fallacies from Relevance III

By: Hallee

A fallacy from relevance occurs when the response to an argument is not relevant to the argument. They ignore the point and attempt to derail the argument by bringing irrelevancies into the debate. In this post, I will discuss the faulty appeal to envy, the faulty appeal to pity, and the faulty appeal to authority.

Menu Monday 11 January 10

By: Hallee

Here’s the menu for my family for the week of Monday, January 10th. As far as desserts go, Gregg is going to make a Gingerbread icosagon with the boys. We found some beautiful blueberries on sale at Kroger this week, so I plan on making a lemon/blueberry cake. I’ll post that recipe as soon as it’s done.
