Baking with Ava

Making Christmas Magic

Missy, Ava, Caity, Camden and I made cookies for Christmas.  We had fun as always.  We made a mess.. as always. The results were not only delicious. but beautiful!

Happy Birthday Terry

Since he hates his picture being taken and attention, I made him a cake. 

Cooking, Cats and Creativity

Rocket J. loves to play with his toys, the problem is that he sometimes plays with them in a way that I don't even think the toy creators intended. I love that about him. Today was no different, he played with his Catit Design Senses Roller Circuit upside down and then emptied all of his toys from his toy basket and played IN the empty basket. 

Started a new piece today. It's going a lot faster than I was thinking. 

Scones are for Bears

My niece Claire came to visit for a bit and day one, we decided to make orange cranberry scones.

Sunday's are Always Fun!

DEXTER!!!

I must admit that I have a special place in my heart for Baby Dexter! He's always been the odd kid, just like his mommy!

He's done this for a while, and I finally got some good video.

He takes ONE piece of food out at a time and chases it then eats it! He's my boy!

Finally, after about an hour of eating ONE PIECE of food at a time, he finally seemed to give up and go to sleep!

His big sister ...
Isabella Sophia 
was watching from her guard tower in the living room. I like to think that she was silently judging the activities from afar. She's beautiful and prickly!!

She just turned 2 on August 3rd. She shares a birthday with her Uncle Michael.

I love her!!

I got around to making some dinner. I found a recipe for Filipino Pork Skewers..

RECIPE HERE

It was delicious!! I made a yummy rice pilaf to go with it. Just kind of threw it together with some half thought.

I like to think how far I've come from 25 years ago not being able to make a meatloaf!!

:)

Saturday Fun

Well the day started out with Rocket and Dexter playing in the office and they were absolutely adorable, so I recorded them!

And finally, the day ended in making the menu for the next week, baking a cake that says "Michelle is Awesome" and making some steaks and salads!

Tacos and Rainbows

So, we all know that I have a love of everything that involves me eating Mexican foods. That point is not able to be argued! Well, I decided the tonight would be a little carne aside taco with some lovely refried beans. I just wish I had more time and I would have made the tortillas from scratch!!

I ♥ TACOS!

After dinner, there was a beautiful rainbow that could be seen in the backyard. It was double, but the second one was so daily that it was really not able to be captured on film!

So pretty though!!
