Salad

Have you ever seen a picture or recipe and just couldn't rest until you made it?

I saw a picture of Chef's Salad a few days ago and have been craving salad ever since. So tonight we had Chef's Salad for dinner. Ours wasn't as beautiful as the picture in the magazine but yummy nonetheless. Even the littlest kids enjoyed it.

Peanut Butter Ritz

Another Favorite Family Recipe: Peanut Butter Ritz

This may sound very strange but they are very delicious. Try them once and you'll be hooked.

First you take a Ritz Cracker and put a dollop of peanut butter on it. Place a second Ritz Cracker on top. Dip in melted chocolate (chocolate flavored almond bark) and place on a piece of foil to set. Yum, yum!

This is the first time I put the white squiggles on it.

I made these to attach to thank you notes for some wonderful friends who brought us food when we all were sick with the stomach flu. And . . . I made a few extras for Family Home Evening Treats.

Just a few words of thanks and they will be ready to go.

Kim's Post

I just read Kim's blog and saw her post for sweethearts. There were 12 teenagers at our home Saturday. Check out her blog for some fun pictures of finger painting.

A Magazine in the Mail

I got my copy of Good Housekeeping in the mail a couple of days ago.

Another Picture, Same Hat

I put the balls on Heavenly's hat. Now it is complete.

My New Favorite Condiment

I just can’t get enough of it.

Recipes

The first thing that crosses my mind when I pull out a recipe to make it . . . should I double or triple the recipe.

Sweetheart Ball

Here is the dress Kim made. She went to Sweethearts with Tyler last night.

And the Count Continues

The stomach flu . . . 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 . . . and now 10. 10 out of 12 people living in this home have now had the stomach flu.

Justin just threw up.

6:15 am

I went to bed too late again. I enjoy the quiet when all of the kids are in bed. It was so hard to get up this morning. This picture shows what I was doing at 6:15 this morning.

I should be exhausted by now (almost 9 pm). But most of the little kids are in bed and I can feel my second wind coming on again!

After School

After school we started some sprouts, broccoli and mung bean.

And we ground some wheat so we can make some sourdough starter tomorrow.

Hat on Baby

As per the previous post, here is a picture of the hat on. I bought some little half inch white pom poms today to put on the tip of each crown point.
