Homemade bread

We love fresh baked bread at our house. Finley loves to help, although I am sad to say I don't let him help enough. This time I was in a good mood (rare these days) and let him help.

I wish I had pictures of the finished product, maybe next time. We like to use these women's recipe for our bread. We bought the DVD and it is great. I like that there isn't oil in the bread, only Lecithin. email me if you would like the recipe.

Some of my favorite things

I like when people do these lists, so I am going to make one of my own.*Chicken green chile salad from Bajio-mmmm I have had it 3 times this past week, and I am trying to convince Cache of going there tonight. Substitute the chips and cheese for cilantro and Limes and it is quite a healthy meal.*My shot glass measuring cup. It measures in teaspoon and tablespoon increments. No more spilling the vanilla or vinegar all over the counter.*My camera, of course. You all think I have talent, but really the pictures come from the camera. I think anyone could take good pic's with this hottie.

Costco

*Okay this is a little cheat, because whose list is this not on. Isn't Costco everyone's favorite?

Pottery Barn Daisy

I Love these pictures from Pottery Barn, but I do not love the price tag of 350.00 a piece. I am attempting to do my own. What do you think? Will they pass for store bought?
now, that I have posted them they seem a little vibrant, I might have to see if I can figure out how to fix that.

cooking

This book is one of my favorites, the banana pancakes are so delicious.

Are you like me and always looking for good recipes? Blogs are my favorite resource, they are kinda like the ward cookbook(which are my favorite cookbooks), no one (at least I hope) is going to post a recipe if it isn't scrumptious. I have found so many yummy eats from friends in the blog-o-sphere, my family has really benefited from my addiction. I found this site this morning and it made me really happy, there are a lot of recipes that I am itching to make. Take a look and let me know what you think or if you want to make me really HAPPY share one of your favorite recipes on your blog and then know that you made my day :)

Gamin' around

Our family loves games, and we love finding new ones. My Aunt gave us this game last summer and we love it. We play it for almost every FHE.

It is easy enough for Fin to play but it has enough strategy that Peanuthead likes it too. The person with the least amount of moose in their house at the end of game wins.
