Tuesday was Rebecca’s 4th birthday. She requested a Lego Friends cake. Here’s what I came up with.
Crockpot Sweet Mustard Roast
For lunch yesterday I tried a new recipe from A Year of Slow Cooking for sweet mustard roast. It was very easy and very good. I didn’t follow the recipe exactly. I just used the idea and what ingredients I had on hand. I used grass fed rump roast. The roast was super moist and …
Meal Plans Week of 4-15-12
Is it really mid-April already? I think I blinked and a month went by. This week is a special week for us…my “baby” girl turns 4!!! I think back to when this whole journey started in 2006 and everything we’ve been through. Now I have this smart, funny, healthy little girl that will be 4 …
Meal Plans Week of 4-8-12
Happy Easter!! Christ is risen!! Where do I begin today’s post? Last week we enjoyed a little break from all activities and got to stay home a lot. We did crafts, baking, played outside. It was nice. This week…it’s back to chaos. And I’m just praying my body is up for it. I kept very …
Grilled "Cheese"
I wouldn’t normally post a recipe for grilled cheese. Most people know how to make grilled cheese. But this one is a bit different. It’s from my Deceptively Delicious cookbook. I did some last minute change of meal plans yesterday. I had taken squash out of the freezer for risotto…but then didn’t feel like making …
Lemon Bars
I also made a batch of lemon bars for Justin’s birthday treats. This is another recipe from my MIL. It’s a simple recipe. I’m generally not a huge fan of lemon bars, but these are good. Justin says they aren’t that sweet (not as sweet as some lemon bars). I think they are quite sweet. …
Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars
Justin’s birthday is this week. He requested some treats to bring to work. So yesterday Rebecca and I made two batches of bars. The first is peanut butter chocolate bars. This recipe is from my MIL. I definitely wouldn’t call this a “healthy” recipe. You can sub most ingredients for natural ones. The only one …
Meal Plans Week of 4-1-12
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the highest! Happy Palm Sunday 🙂 And a special morning for me…Abram is still sleeping! This week is spring break for most schools. So there isn’t much going on. It doesn’t mean much for us since we don’t have kids in school. But it does mean that we don’t have Kindermusik …
Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Since learning just how healthy ice cream is (homemade of course) I’ve been making it a lot lately. Which means experimenting with new flavors. This week I made cookie dough ice cream. One of my favorites! And it turned out great!!! I had some for snack last night and for breakfast today 😛 It’s just …
The Letters Y and Z
We’ve finally finished the alphabet! I can’t say we finished with a bang. But we did finish. I honestly could not think of much for the letter Y. So we didn’t do much (2 weeks ago). We also didn’t do a lot for the letter Z, but at least we made it to the zoo. …
