Watch out kitty!!!

Cooking Update

Well, I haven't been trying anything new lately. We're getting ready to leave in 5 days so we're trying to use up perishables and frozen foods before we leave. We had a dinner guest the other night, one of Dave's coworkers, so I made some excellent turkey burgers, roasted asparagus, and french fries (frozen... didn't have time to make my own). For dessert I made strawberry pie again. This one looked MUCH better than the first.

I'm starting to get REALLY jealous of anyone with a grill. I love bbq and grilled meats/poultry/veggies in the summer. Lack of money, Dave's disinterest, and my lack of time to use a grill with 2 small children and no one to help supervise has prevented us from going out and buying one. Hopefully next summer we can invest in a small grill and be like our neighbors and friends. I sure do like grilled hot dogs!!! I really feel like we're missing out this summer. Hopefully my mom will grill at least one night while we are visiting so I can get my grilled food fix.

Milk Bread

This is our favorite bread so far. Between Dave, Jordan, and I, the first loaf was gone within 24 hours. Thankfully I froze the 2nd loaf! I can never make just one loaf at a time. I have added flax seed to make it slightly more healthy, probably could add some other things too. I love how soft and fluffy it is. The bread almost melts in your mouth, it is THAT good!! I haven't tried it with whole wheat flour yet, just bread flour. I wonder if it would still be as fluffy? Will try next time!

This Is Clean...

Seriously... the floor is vacuumed, there are no "dangerous" items on the floor. This is what my living room looks like on a typical day. All you people without children, please don't judge. Once you have kids, their toys take over your house. You try to keep it manageable with your first child; sanitize toys at night, put them in proper, labeled containers. Once you have your second child, you could give a sh!t about how clean toys are, where they are put at the end of the night, or if there is a cheerio on the floor. As long as my cell phone is safe, computer is put away, and there are no items on the floor that cats or infants can choke on, I'm pretty happy with the state of my living room. I keep telling myself once we've outgrown infant toys it will be cleaner and more organized, but I know that's just not true.

I think I need a new toy box... or two!
