Today, I’m eating my weight in multi-grain cheesy cheddar pringles. Trust me, this is not an easy task.
Can I get excited yet?
It’s just been such a crazy week, and it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. I got my first beta back and it was a perfect, beautiful 138. I could finally breath a sigh of relief. Now all I need is for the second one (drawn tomorrow) to be double that and we’ll be laughing….
Oso Buco
Classic Osso Buco Want to know what a recipe is without a picture…Here’s your chance! Sorry about that by the way, I never took one the last time I made this a couple of years ago, but it’s been on my mind so I dug out the recipe and am planning to make it in…
Monkey Bread
Monkey Bread First off, a warning. This takes some time…like…a lot of time. It’s totally worth it though, and with the cold weather coming, well, this is going to be a staple for the night we decide to stay in and watch all those old Christmas movies with Oliver (remember Frosty and Rudolph!). It’s worth it,…
Banana Bread
Banana Bread This is an Oliver approved recipe; my boy simply can not get enough of this stuff. If he knows it’s in the house, he refuses to eat anything else. I tend to triple the recipe, then bake it in those smaller foil loaf pans they sell at the grocery store (just decrease the…

Where to start…
It has been one hell of a hectic weekend! First off: Friday morning I found out that I’m pregnant with number two! WOOOO! I was able to keep it a secret all day by being in a bad mood. I really don’t do well not telling Bo everything the second that I know. This was…
Just a good night
Last night, well, it was just a good night. I’m not sure how else to put it. On the ride home I asked Bo if we could order a pizza for dinner tonight, and he was up for it, so it meant I just had to worry about cooking for Oliver. Sweet 🙂 When we…
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Home Made BBQ Sauce
You want to know what can take these from “Oh my god these are fantastic” all the way to “OMFG if I stop shoveling this into my mouth I will die” in two seconds flat? Garlic toasted buns. That’s right folks. Slather some garlic butter onto the buns before you toast them, maybe…
Cookie Update
I just ate a cookie. It’s 9:12am. I did it without even thinking, subconsciously I think. The seal’s broken now. chomp chomp, crunch, munch, crunch. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Call me a liar
So, last week all I did was profess to be caught up, and about to post some recipes…and I didn’t. I wasted the afternoon actually doing some work. Crazy. Any way, I’ve brought a stack of recipes with me today to match up with all the photos, so I really should have at least a…
Woo hoo!
That does it, I’m finally up to date on my posting (or as up to date as I’m going to be), so it’s back to regular scheduling. I don’t even know what that means. Wait, yes I do. It means that I’ll finally be able to get recipes back on here, and there will be…
Halloween!
Oct. 31, 2010 This Halloween was certainly more fun then last year because Oliver kinda knew something was going on (not what though). Last year he was a dinosaur and a dalmatian (I’ll have to find those pictures). This year he was supposed to be Woody from Toy Story. He grabbed the costume off the rack at Toys’r’Us a…
Oliver’s new ATV
Oct. 29, 2010 Aunt Miranda sent Oliver his birthday present (yeah, his birthday was July 8, and yes his party was on June 26, but I don’t think Oliver’s complaining about the belated gift). She sent him a motorized ATV. For children ages 3 and up. For my 15 months old child (note that this isn’t even…
How do I make it through the day?
Oct. 26, 2010 I ask myself how I make it through each day all the time. I do this because I live with the cutest, sweetest, funniest man on the planet, and a son that seems to be just like him. Case in point: What Daddy does, Oliver does. How can your heart not burst…
Off to the Pumpkin Patch!
Oct. 23, 2010 Today was a day I’d been looking forward to for WEEKS! I couldn’t wait to get Oliver to the pumpkin patch for the first time, and thankfully he had just as much fun as I’d hoped he would 🙂 Before we could go though, we thought we’d let Daddy sleep in as…
