Today was National Chocolate-Covered Cashews Day - so I went in search of a recipe - and came across this one for Clodhoppers (which I have never had the pleasure of tasting). I thought I would give this a try - by using the ingredients in my cupboard. Clodhoppers Inspired Cashew Clusters 2 Belvita Cookie packs 1 cup salted cashew…
I love taco salad. I bought a head of lettuce - realizing later I already had lettuce! So salad seemed like a good choice for dinner tonight... Caleb suggested trading out the tortilla strips for Doritos and it was a good idea! Dorito Taco Salad Serves 4 Head of Iceberg Lettuce 1.5 lb. Ground Hamburger 1…
I had just about every kind of bean in my cupboard - except for Lima Beans! Of course this would happen on Lima Bean Respect Day! Seeing as the sunshine was out and we had to run to the store - for the sole purpose of lima beans - I figured we should probably have a little fun…
Five years ago, my husband and I, rode our bikes across the United States! We pulled our own bike trailers from Seattle, Washington to Annapolis, Maryland. Can you believe? I still can't... Anyways, since that time, I have gone on one bike ride since then... and on that ride I got a flat tire as…
Today was busy but I don't have many pictures to show for it because I was off on a Mommy Break! Woo hoo! After an exhausting week I went out for coffee with a friend while Caleb, Uppa (Grandpa), and the boys went out for breakfast and to the park. We did make sure to…
Friday was Blah, Blah, Blah Day - a day for doing all the things you don't really want to do - like go to the grocery store with kids, open up a new checking account... and deep clean... like we did! Yay! Happy Holidays! Ha! In addition to all that "fun" stuff - we celebrated…
I've never had Eggs Benedict - always being a little wary because of raw egg yolk in the Hollandaise sauce... BUT today I decided to try it out for National Eggs Benedict Day... I may have fell in love... I did a combination of these 3 recipes: Italian Sausage Hash Eggs Benedict with Parmesan Hollandaise Slow Cooker Garlic Parmesan…
Jack was up at 3am this morning! I put him back to bed but he stayed awake until 4:15 - then woke up at 5:15... so pretty much I've been up for a loooong time. As a mother I come to find, on a regular basis, that our plans don't quite work out the way we imagine. This…
Today was a wonderful reminder of how blessed I am with family and new friends! To give Jeffrey another day to rest I skipped my Mom's group today - which I really look forward to attending! My friend brought me coffee since I didn't get to go - how sweet and wonderful is that? Then this evening my…
Monday marked Day 4 of Jeffrey's stomach bug and it was one crazy long and exhausting one! Needless to say we didn't do much celebrating... just numerous trips to the bathroom and lots of laundry. Honestly with what a hard day it was I can't believe I accomplished so much... like this **banner... To remind…
Live. Simple. Good.
