by HouseResortLeave a Comment on Chocolate sauce makes perfect Dessert 😋👍

we decided on what we are cooking for dinner, and for dessert, maybe a cookie, or ice cream, but you can add so much creativity to bunch of everything when you pour, yes pour chocolate sauce on the top.

We can leave our picky eaters to pull their own dessert together but mixing fresh fruits, and nuts or crumbled graham crackers.

Here is a list of our yummy delicious favorites, but this is a chance to get creative:

1- Bananas, peaches, berries..

2- coffee cakes, sponge cake..

3- waffles, pancakes..

4- favorite cereals: graham cereal, mini wheats..

5- walnuts, almonds, raisins…

6- ice cream, whipped cream…

Chocolate sauce recipe:

In a sauce pan

  • Mix 1/2 cup of unsweetened coco with 1 cup sugar until you don’t see any lumps
  • Add 1/8 tsp salt
  • Add 1/2 cup of cold water
  • Bring to boil over medium high, reduce heat let it simmer constantly stir for 40 seconds. Remove, let it cool add 11/2 tsp of vanilla.
  • Enjoy it cold or warm.

    A lovely garden begins with your pots

    by HouseResortLeave a Comment on A lovely garden begins with your pots

    It is not just for holding your flowering plants or herbs, for me a flower pot also needs to stand beautiful by itself in my garden.

    When in full bloom I bring the smaller pots in to add color to our family room, and most often they are the main object of my photos a hobby I enjoy.

    I have flower pots that are more than 10 years old, and every now and then I purchase one for a special place, a corner or a spot on the porch and the garden.

    I choose them by color, size, and always stay in the same color scheme, and yes I do love hanging baskets even though they need to be maintained more, since birds and squirrels enjoy pulling their liners and love to swing from them.

    For most of us summer has started and we are worried and concern about flying and staying in hotel rooms.

    As I talk to friends I hear the same concerns and fears related to traveling, interacting with others at the airport, hotels, and beaches. Plans to the beach, softball games, ice skating with friends all activities that would have been planned for summer are on hold indefinitely.

    How to entertain ourselves without using electronics? For the time being we are making a list of our most favorite activities, and anything new we like to learn and experience for the first time. We also have a list for things we enjoy doing that are more entertaining and keeps us in touch with classmates, and family members.

    Here are 10 items on the list for our teens (created by them):

    1- learn to do laundry

    2- learn to iron

    3- learn to chop vegetables

    4- learn a new language

    5- practice music

    6- yoga

    7- workout

    9- try cooking new recipes

    10- gardening

    Hope everyone enjoys a healthy happy summer😎

    Enjoying Spring🌷

    by HouseResortLeave a Comment on Enjoying Spring🌷

    It is still spring, and most of us up to now have enjoyed pleasant weather.

    This weekend we are worried about tornadoes and severe rain, but having to stay home & staying in touch with the news & being more aware, hopefully more of us will spend this weekend in the safety of our homes. Easter celebrations was less entertaining & more of a reminder of how much the world around us has come to a slow crawl.

    Heavy rain kept us inside, so we didn’t see the Easter bunny. But the sweet bunny left us a beautiful basket filled with everyone’s favorite candy. Our lunch with the family and grandparents was less formal, and we had everyone on face time instead of having everyone over at our house for Easter celebrations.

    We managed to take more photos of spring blooms, before they are blown away by heavy rain, and know next year our photos will have our grandparents with us, eating, laughing, and sitting next to each other.🌞

    Learned a great lesson !

    Everybody helped with this delicious mega nacho dish

    I am sure we all have heard it, “everything in moderation” . There should be a balance with everything we do. Eat, exercise, social media, travel, and many other things we think of when treating ourselves. Too much of one thing, we are off balance.

    Considering what our world is going through some activities are difficult to plan, when we are aware of the hardship, people around us are going through.

    Call it guilt, but to feel happy and satisfied just doesn’t feel right. I believe we need balance in our world in order to enjoy a good movie, a good hardy laugh, or a great hug.

    If there is one important lesson in this difficult time to learn, and later teach our children is to be happy with every small thing around us. Turning our home to our sanctuary, cooking a great meal with our family, plant some herbs, go for walks.

    Face time, zoom, sharing photos is fine for now, they allow us to share our time at home with our friends, and family. We are staying in touch with our grandparents, help with home work, take flowers or herbs from our garden to neighbors & send thoughtful messages to our friends via email. It is our way to make others happy, and make our days special and productive.

    We all must Stay positive, stay at home and healthy, until things are back to normal.

    Most of us are having a difficult time leaving our homes to see the arrival of this early spring season.

    In the south where cherry blossoms have their own festival, trees have quietly bloomed and have not been fazed with the current state of time.

    We hope you are staying healthy, and hopeful that everything will be back to normal soon🌞

    Hope our spring photos put a smile on your face 🌷

    Staying entertained at Home

    Homemade pizza, making the dough was great fun

    I know every entertainment idea is not a good idea for all of us, but a few can make us all busy and happy at the same time.

    Here are a few fun ones :

    Cooking & Baking🥖🍳🍝

    Cleaning🧼🧽🧹

    Organizing🧺🗂

    Watching Movies🎟💽

    Exercising🧘‍♂️🤸‍♂️

    Gardening ( cleaning the yard )🌷

    Quiet time🤫

    Time on social media🤪

    By now we are all aware of the fact that being cut off from all social interactions is necessary in order to stay healthy. The fact that Corona virus can seriously harm people with health issues and the elderly, is a very frightening fact. Every time I hear the number of corona virus victims I am deeply sad for all involved.

    Helping others to keep their positive attitude helps us too. Checking on our elderly relatives, and neighbors, and reminding ourselves this is not forever.

    Didn’t want go to store for burger buns, so we baked some
    We are taking photos when we go for our long walks
