Lunch

Lunch today was homemade vegetable soup and the kids loved it. We also had club sandwiches which they asked if I could make EVERY day from now on. Ha! It took almost an entire loaf of bread! But I am glad they liked it. It's hard to switch things up now and then and I really want to expand our pathetic menu around here. Soup and sandwiches may not sound much different but it was. Usually I make chicken soup and never have they had club sandwiches! (replete with little tooth picks)

Tonight a new mexican casserole recipe...that won't be hard to please around here.

Cinna-mess

Well, my beautiful cinnies turned out not so beautiful! The dough never rose and neither did they in the oven. I asked the group that came over today for the quilt swap and someone asked if my water was too hot that I dissolved the yeast in.

Whoops.

You mean boiling is too hot?

Duh, yeast LIVES woman! I never even thought about it how hot my water was! Popped the glass in the micro and nuked away!

Now, I may add to my resume,... yeast murderer.

But talk about taste? These were still de-lish and none will go to waste I am sure. I am tempted to try it again but cannot afford as much butter and sugar that it calls for! Lol

Can you imagine these puppies risen? Wow!

Cookies anyone?

L and I made sugar cookies from scratch today after many promises. I refused to buy store bought dough or mix after tasting some from scratch brownies that Sloan made from a Reader's Digest recipe a month ago.

Poor Little L, (as we call her) Mom didn't read the recipe first and we get all the way to the dough and read that it has to chill for 3 hours!!!!!!

"Three hours!" says the Dad, "What kind of cookies are they?"

Thanks honey. A little support for the seven year old please. Lol But they came out. Nothing to remarkable I am afraid. A little salty, a little flat. Not that they noticed considering they frosted them with vanilla frosting. Rolling them out and cutting them out of course was the best part. She sure does love to do all things kitchen! She even washed her first load of dishes today! Little Mama!
