Well, since this post is all about the food, I thought I would start off with our Super Bowl feast. I asked each person to tell me one food & one treat they would like to have while they watched the game--this was the result. A delicious calorie filled spread of carbs, sugar & starch--YUM! (I did sneak some fruits & veggies into the mix to add some healthy color to the meal.)
Go Niners!
Every day after school the kids come home and ask for a snack. They say they are "STARVING". Well this is what one of them made for themselves to keep their stomach from growling until dinner.
We call it the toasted double potato patty, sausage & egg that doesn't fit in your mouth sandwich!
Can you guess who's after school snack this is?
I've decided that I need to make sure my kids know how to cook--more than just boiling water or heating something up in the microwave. One day they will move out of the house and I'd like them to have the cooking skills to prepare meals for their future families. I have decided to have them each choose 3 days a month to cook a meal for the family---I supervise and help as needed. Here is a meal prepared by Seth--bring on the meat & potatoes!
I never win anything . . . or at least it seems that way. But not any more! I WON! We have a favorite yogurt place in town. The last time we were there, I entered a drawing they were having the next week to win a free yogurt. They informed me, that if I won, I would need to come back in a week to check. (I knew I wouldn't make a special trip back just to see if I'd won, but I entered the drawing anyway.) But, luck was in the air--a sister in my ward had my back. She happened to go there with her family on the night of the drawing and saw my name as the big winner of the night. She texted me the great news and I was over in a flash to pick up a yummy chocolate peanut butter ice cream cake--it was delicious!
Baking is so much better with a friend!
