The House Hunt Continues...And Some Yummies Too!







So...

This week we went house hunting.

Again.

This house was a real doosey.

I had such high hopes that this was our delapidated fixer-upper.







Maybe a new door...? Not so bad.


Some adorable little critter chewed through the porch roof...Fixable?




A little peeling paint...





Hmmmm? Looks like some foundation trouble...Not lookin' as promising (like it really had been).








Inside...



What a lovely...errr...kitchen (these were the ONLY cabinets).



Then...

The BESTEST part!





MOLD!



Run! Run! And don't look back!

This was so not our home.

Maybe next time☺


The other things about this little gem, not shown in the pics:

More signs (if you get my drift) of critter infestation.

Squishy, rotting floors.

The wall had pushed into the basement.

Stunk to high heaven.

Bathroom described by our three-year-daughter as "disgusting".

And

More MOLD!





On a tastier note...

I made some super delectable yummies this week...

Wanna see?






Pioneer Woman's Restaraunt Style Salsa (we will never buy the crap in the jar again).





Donut Muffins from Allrecipes, by Dianne







Meatball subs.
Created from Meatball Nirvana, another Allrecipes find.







You guessed it! AR!





Next week promises to bring more house hunting, a few cake orders, and hopefully a start on refurbishing my desk/vanity.

I hope you'll stop back by!


Have a lovely weekend ♥
(I just learned the hearts and smileys, so give me a break)

  5. Awww...what a disappointing house tour. How do things like this happen to perfectly good homes?!?!? It is a question we will never know (or want to know) the answer to :) Your food goodness looks simply fantastic!

Exploring the Upper Peninsula...and a Few Yummies

I am going to make this short...because I am desperately trying to be more intentional with my time.  Spending less of it on my phone or com...
