Let's take a little break from food posts for a personal story. For the past week or so I've been stressin' about Baby Boy's crib. At the beginning of the year a family at our church offered to give us their crib that they no longer needed. We were very excited and thankful - a… Continue reading The Crib Story
Banana Granola Pancakes
These might be the best pancakes I have ever made. That's a bold statement but just wait until you see them. The inspiration for these pancakes came from a restaurant called First Watch. We have several locations in Kansas City and the restaurants are located in many other states as well. They serve breakfast and lunch… Continue reading Banana Granola Pancakes
Homemade Egg McMuffin
Good morning world! I am at home this morning because I took the day off today. And since Monday is a holiday that means I have a glorious 4 day weekend stretching out ahead of me. Vacation days are so wonderful. Even though I could've slept in, I still got up with Benzo (he still… Continue reading Homemade Egg McMuffin
Monuts: The Muffin Donut
I love donuts. I could eat a donut everyday. I love going to the donut shop and seeing all the pretty donuts lined up in the glass case. My love for donuts might be amplified right now by my pregnancy, but even before I still loved them. I like to try all the different donut… Continue reading Monuts: The Muffin Donut
Happy Valentine’s Day
Yesterday when I logged into WordPress I noticed immediately that the hits on my blog have been climbing steadily over the past few days and were at one of their highest peaks yesterday. I thought to myself, "that's odd, considering I haven't posted in over a week." Then I looked at the stats and saw… Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day
Crockpot Corn Chowder
On most Saturday nights Benzo and I go to a church group at 5:30pm. It usually lasts about an hour and a half, but then we always end up standing around chatting for another 20-30 minutes. Sometimes we get there at 4:30 to help set up or if Benzo is playing in the band (he's a… Continue reading Crockpot Corn Chowder
Bump Watch – 24 Weeks
So here I am in all my pregnant glory at 24 weeks: I hate to say it, but I feel like I look ginormous in this picture. In real life how big I feel depends on the time of day and what I'm wearing. I think this lighter sweater is making me look bigger! 🙂 … Continue reading Bump Watch – 24 Weeks
Maple Almond Granola
I have no idea what day it is. Two days at home this week has really thrown off my internal clock. All day I kept thinking it was Monday. I suppose I should be happy that it's Thursday and not Monday because that means tomorrow is Friday. It is also jeans day which is an… Continue reading Maple Almond Granola
Homemade Drop Biscuits
Hello from the Blizzard of Oz! That's what the weather people were calling yesterday's snowstorm. Kind of fitting since we live in Kansas. It was one heck of a blizzard that's for sure. Tons of snow, wind and bitterly cold temperatures. The wind has made some incredible snow drifts. The drifts make it hard to… Continue reading Homemade Drop Biscuits
Garden Plan – 2011
It's about that time of year. Time to start planning for this year's garden!!! I always start getting excited for the garden in January. The holidays are over and it's usually freezing cold or snowing. Thinking about the garden cheers me up in an otherwise dreary season. This year will be my fourth year of… Continue reading Garden Plan – 2011
