Helpful Tips for Making Your Own Wedding Cake
Planning a wedding can be a stressful, busy, but exciting time and you have a lot of things to consider, one of those being your centerpiece wedding cake. I am currently in the midst of planning my wedding and have, of course, been to all the wedding fairs and looked at dozens of cake companies and I was shocked at how expensive these beautiful desserts can be, especially if you're going to have quite a lot of guests. So I have decided to DIY my cake, and I thought I'd share some tips that I have learnt so far to help those of you brave (or daft) enough to attempt this challenge, too.

Cooking for Kids
So I am the type of person that likes to experiment with food. I honestly can't remember the last time I used a recipe to make a dish. I know that you have to use a recipe for baking, but my son is not a big fan of sweets and I don't have the time to make bread (although I happen to love how my house smells with bread baking in the oven).

How to Eat Cheap
Did you know almost 50 percent of the world's population lives off $2.50 a day? To put that in perspective, the average American spends more than $150 a month (roughly $5/day) on food alone. That's twice as much! But just because we do spend more doesn't mean we have to spend more. If you're in a tight spot and need to cut back on some expenses, your food budget is a good place to start. Here are some rules, guidelines, and words of advice to help get through it.

How To Create the Perfect Cheese Board for Your Next Party
When it comes to dinner parties or any form of parties, you want your food selections to be in top quality with ideal spreads. You never want to half-ass your selections. Since you invited your guests over for dinner, you want to impress them with what you have to offer, right? While the taste of the food is a must if you want your guests to enjoy it, but what also really matters is presentation! Yes! Presentation plays a very important role when it comes to laying out your food selections. From appetizers to the main course and dessert, you should have everything perfectly designed and still possessing loads of flavor and goodness.

Eating in a Dorm on a Budget
Alrighty, so you’ve probably already seen hundreds of YouTube videos and seen Buzzfeed style blogs that tell you different things you can do “in a dorm” when it comes to all sorts of things, including decorations and food and the like. If you’re like me, you might have skipped a lot of these because either you know the things they are showing you are out of your price range and/or don’t really seem plausible in your living situation.

How to Make Restaurant Quality Crepes at Home
In order to make restaurant quality crepes at home, I use lactose free milk, three eggs, and flour. I beat the eggs into the one-cup all-purpose flour. Then I manage to use the frying pan to slide the crepe around until it is totally cooked on the bottom. I fry bacon to stuff my crepe with, specifically bacon and cheese. You can also use ham and cheese or Nutella, which I don’t have in the house, that can also be used as a filling. Crepes are a simple meal you can make at any time.

Creating Your Home School Experiences
Part of the learning experience with your kids can start in your kitchen. Part of the moments you share with your toddlers or teens can be around kitchen moments. You can choose and create several experiences around your kitchen. You have an amazing opportunity to turn those moments in the kitchen to a fun learning experience. Toddlers will want to observe and begin to learn how you make cookies or cupcakes. Older teens will want to start mixing and making recipes, too.

A Long Piece About Mushrooms
This article is partially about foraging for and consuming wild mushrooms. Under no circumstances should this article convince you to consume any wild mushrooms without first seeking out the advice of an expert and using their help to positively identify any edible mushrooms you may pick. Mushrooms can and will kill you and if you have any doubt as to the species of mushroom you have collected, err on the side of caution and DO NOT CONSUME THEM. That being said, please enjoy this piece and happy hunting!
