Kitchen Helpers


Sometimes I think about how lonely it is in this kitchen of mine..Other times I don't..
Check out the kitchen "helpers"

They have such a rough life!




Yummy Candy --So bad for you, its good!



Woo-Hoo for food! C is for candy its good enough for me oh C is for candy its good enough for me, Candy, Candy, Candy starts with C :) (Doesn't that song make you wanna go in the kitchen and make something?!) <--Yes I know that song is C is for Cookie but I changed it

Before I get to the awesome step by couple of steps pictures I need to give you the recipe first.
If you know me very well you know that most of the food I make (including sweets) I don't really follow set in stone recipes. That is just how I roll..Sometimes they work great other times they don't.
So Here is the "rough" outline of what it takes to make this candy
  • almost 1 sleeve of saltines
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • almost 2 cups chocolate chips or any type of chocolate that will melt for you

layer saltines in a foil lined 13 x 9 pan (grease the foil! trust me )
mix butter and sugar in pan, melt and let it boil for about 3 min.
pour the hot goodness over the crackers, top with the chocolate and let melt and spread.
put into fridge for about 2 hrs, cut and eat

Now onto the pictures!!!









What's Growing?





I guess this must be the summer of growing in this house, I seem to have acquired 2 new things to try and keep alive in this house (Notice how all items requiring anything seems to fall on the shoulders of the mother in the house?! Is it just me? I.think.not.

1) K was dead set on getting some kind of "pet" kit for her birthday. So against my better judgement we got her a butterfly kit for her birthday! She was so happy about it! Well, she was really happy until she found out that no, real "live" butterflies are not in the kit that you see on the shelf of meijers. You have to send in the postcard with some money to get them to you (also redeem it online which is a nice plus!) And you have to wait so many days for them to come (we don't have hogwarts mail here- sorry you must wait)
So she is the proud owner of 2 containers of live (or around 80 % of them are) "pre" butterflies


2) For fathers day D class at school planted a tomato plant. So not only do we have live things growing in this house (besides us humans and pets) we also have this tall, skinny plant sitting above the kitchen sink..I really hope I get at least 1 tomato from it, I know it has nothing to grow up on or anything but a girl can hope can't she?!? (Had to add the plant VS the microwave pic just to prove that yes in fact I have not killed it yet. this must be a record for me.)

New Year



Good Bye 2010 and Hello 2011! (I know I am 11 days late but its all good)
This is how our 2010 went
  • Adopted our dogs
  • Kids progressed at school both staying on the honor roll!
  • Took the last of our Disney Vacations (J is singing happy music right now)
  • I found out that moving down south is in fact bad for my health (Little inside joke here)
  • Being exposed to so much healthy food (Read- Butter filled goodness) down here I have managed to keep the need alive for stretchy pants
  • I started my pursuit of a bigger education and its still going strong...
  • I found out what its like to be a single mother for around 5 months...Not fun at all, I give kudos to all the mothers who are single out there..

  •
