It doesn’t get more simple than Jello Jigglers! Here’s a basic recipe for this famous Jello dessert! You know you’ll be attending a very kid friendly event when the hostess asks you to bring something fancy, and by fancy she means a jello recipe. My college roommate, Mikki, invited us over to their house in…

Remember this!
I need to get some pictures posted, but it will have to wait. For now, I’m just going to post a few things that have happened in the past few days that I want to remember. Tomorrow, I’ll post pictures of Christmas and various other things that have happened around the homestead. First off, Kelly …
Food and Wine Challenge – The list and a fellow blogger request
OK ladies and gentlemen… the time has come. 2007 is right around the corner. If you remember, a couple of weeks ago I wrote about the Food and Wine Challenge I am undertaking in the year 2007. In the January issue of Food and Wine magazine, they listed “100 Tastes You Must Try in 2007”….
Menu Planning
One of my goals for 2007 is to start menu planning again. I used to make a menu plan on a monthly basis and was quite obsessive about it, but since we moved to our new house and added another baby to the family, my old menu planning habits have fallen by the wayside. These…
Breaking Bread
I just wanted to pop on here tonight to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and if you don’t celebrate Christmas, I wish you a wonderful day. It amazes me now that I am a parent how exciting it is to see Christmas through the eyes of my children. I hope that as you celebrated…

A Rare Moment of Quiet
I’m home alone. Well, almost alone. Ella is upstairs asleep in her bed and I pretty much have the house to myself. It’s quiet… almost too quiet, but I’m not complaining. Ella went back to the doctor this afternoon after running a fever of 103+ for 4 days straight. It turns out that she now…

She’s…

Kids are so funny sometimes, aren’t they? Today we were in the car and we passed a house that was being built. There was a man standing on the roof of the house. Jacob said “I’m never going to stand on the roof of a house. Even when I’m an engineer, I won’t do it….
Is it really okay to eat Puppy Chow??
“Is it really okay to eat Puppy Chow?” This is a question my almost 5 year old son asks me anytime I make this delicious snack. He just can’t get over the fact that we are eating something named after dog food, and that looks like dog food too! I wish it bothered me more…
