Laughing Cow Cheese is my favorite snack right now. The french onion with celery is heavenly and with only 35 calories it's like a free treat :)

It has finally started to warm up some. Spring might actually be upon us :) Spring and warmer weather means Grilling and outdoor fun. We enjoyed Pork Tenderloin and Grilled Fresh Pineapple tonight. Loved it.

Frog Legs

I Tried Them

I spit it out!

Food Budget

I'm sooo bad. I do not have a "budget" for food. I spend way too much on it. I have decided that it is time to put our family on food budget. So what is a good amount? How many do you feed and what is your weekly budget?

Thanks for sharing :)

My kids love love love Swedish Pancakes and today after church Justin begged me to make them for dinner. They take so long to make but I agreed and we had them for dinner. I should really make them more often.

This morning I made Orange Pull-Apart Bread. It came out of the oven so perfect and I ran to get my phone to take a picture of it but I was too slow. It was clearly a hit and I was left with taking a picture of a piece instead of the full thing :)

It's always nice to find something that my kids will actually like!!

Miss Independent...I'm sorry I mean Miss Kaylee :)

Kaylee loves helping in the kitchen. I use to give her little things to do but she pushes to do more and more. Today she insisted on cracking the eggs herself and whipping them up. I'm impressed that she didn't get any shells in the bowl. She's a pro!! I love my Kaylee

Cake Tasting!!
On the 4th Sunday of each month our family has dinner with Kimball's Dad, his wife Barbie and all the siblings that live in the area. Today there was only a small group of us but it was still enjoyable.

Our dessert was a "cake" testing. Julie made like 12 cakes for us all to taste and pick which one we liked the best. It was so hard picking our favorite because they all were so close in flavor...all but one. It was horrible...The magic ingredient?? Mayo!! YUCK. Sorry Julie :)

Taco Bowls



While at a Kitchen store yesterday I found a pan that lets you bake these taco bowls. Baked, not Fried!! Love it.
