Charlie Brown Got a Rock. You Get These 4 Homemade Treats 🎃
|
Hi friends! 👋 It’s fall break here this week, and you know what that means. My kitchen is about to get busy! I’ve got a whole list of recipes I want to test, so I’ll be baking and cooking pretty much all week. I’m also going to find some time to rest and reset, because this teacher needs it! With Halloween just two weeks away, I’ve been flipping through my vintage cookbooks and noticing how many of them have homemade Halloween treats. By the time I was trick-or-treating, it was all store-bought candy. But there was a time when neighbors handed out popcorn balls and homemade goodies, and I love that. So this week I pulled together four classic Halloween treats from my collection. They’re perfect for parties, movie nights at home, or filling up treat bags for the grandkids. 🍿 Popcorn Balls 👾 Monster Cookies 🍫 Saltine Toffee 🍬 Jello Candy Melts Want even more ideas? Check out my full list of Halloween Treats. Thank you so much for your support. It truly means so much. Did you ever get homemade treats on Halloween? Hit reply and tell me. I’d love to hear your stories! Warmly, ❤️ Heidi (aka Lulu) |

Hi friends! I had the day off yesterday for Veterans Day, and it gave me some time to slow down and think about my grandma. She was a veteran of World War II, and she’s also the reason this blog exists. Her cookbook is what gave me the idea to start Real Life of Lulu in the first place! So to every veteran reading this, and to your families too, thank you. We are so grateful for you. Here’s what’s new this week: 🍞 Old-Fashioned Date Nut Bread Remember the date nut bread that showed up wrapped...
Hi friends! 👋 I’m so tired this morning. Last night I helped out in the green room at my daughter’s show, and wow. Costume changes, bobby pins everywhere, and a whole lot of nervous energy packed into one small room. It was chaotic and loud, and I loved every minute of it. Watching her up on that stage made it all worth it! But my feet are still recovering, so today is a coffee and pajamas kind of Sunday. It’s also a menu planning kind of Sunday. Can you believe Thanksgiving is less than...
Hi friends! It’s been a busy week at our house! My daughter has rehearsals all week for her musical, so our whole family is running on a musical theater schedule right now. I love seeing how hard she’s working, and I can’t wait to see it all come together on stage! Here’s what’s new this week: 🍎 Waldorf Salad: I found this one in my grandma’s 1940s cookbook, and I love how simple it is. It has just 5 ingredients, takes about 10 minutes, and would be perfect on your Thanksgiving table. And no,...
