I have mentioned creme fraiche before on this blog, but I realized that maybe some people don’t know what it is and how EXCEEDINGLY EASY it is to make!

I just read a fantastic post on a blog that I really like- “Kelly the Kitchen Kop”. I thought I would put the link on my blog because I think it exposes the world’s way of thinking about dieting and how we should eat. If you have a few minutes, please read it (and click [...]

Wow! I just had a yummy dinner, and I thought I would share it with you! Here is a picture of the black bean dish I served; well, this is actually a picture of Mike’s lunch for tomorrow because I didn’t take a picture before we ate. I made some brown rice (cooked in homemade [...]

It is more like “what isn’t in the fridge?” at my house! I have to admit that I am not the best at cleaning my refrigerator; I try to wipe it up every now and again…. well, let’s just not talk about cleaning. Anyway, a while back I had seen a few blogs talking about what they [...]

Okay, okay, so we didn’t actually have SNOW- we just had ice and frozen rain, but it was still fun for a first sled ride! Mike took Daniel for a spin out on the open road, and they had a blast. If we get “snow” again, we will have to go to a hill somewhere.

Tuesday- Baked potato bar [...]

Daniel loves music so much that he often can be found playing 2 instruments at once! Often it is the drum and the piano or the recorder and the xylophone. I love to see what he comes up with. In addition to being musical, he has a blast doing gymnastics. Here are some pictures from [...]
