A Recipe You Must Try!

My good friend Jodie, along with her cousin, has a recipe blog. It's fabulous! If you haven't checked it out, you need to. It's on my sidebar under "What's Cookin'?"

A couple weeks ago Jodie posted a recipe for homemade baked macaroni and cheese. I've been meaning to try it and finally got around to doing that today. It was delicious. I'm not gonna post the recipe here, because you can find it HERE.

Unlike myself, Jodie is not one to cut corners with ingredients. I did make some substitutions, I used fat free sour cream and cottage cheese, reduced fat Parmesan, and I didn't use the full amount of cheddar. The finished product was still wonderful! My kids couldn't wrap their minds around the concept of homemade mac and cheese. They kept asking questions like, "Did you use the stuff in the box?" "Did this come from a box?" "Did you buy it at the store?" "How did you make this?"

Gee thanks Tami; I'm glad you liked it. My cousin Darin just asked me if I could cook and if it was worth making. I told him I liked it, and yes I'm not the worst cook in the world. I'll tell him other people besides me like it ( :

GiveAway!!

I'm doing this giveaway just for fun. I'm not trying to sell or promote anything. I'm on an apron kick lately. I've come across so many cute ideas and I decided to make some of them. A week or so ago my good friend Liz mentioned she'd won an apron in a giveaway somewhere else. Thats where my "inspiration" comes from. I'm just a big copycat, but at least I admit to it. Here is the giveaway item: Please keep in mind that I made this, it did not come from a store so if you become the owner there will be no tags. I consider it to be a one-size-fits-all due to the fact that the ties are extra long. Here are the details: *Contest begins at 7am (Mountain Standard time) Thursday, November 12. It will end Sunday, November 15 at 8pm (same timezone). Winner(s) will be posted at my convenience on Monday. *Anyone living in the continental U.S., Canada, including PEI, or Mexico can enter this giveaway. It doesn't matter if you and I are friend or foe. You don...

Parade

Brittany decided to join the marching band this year. She plays the marimba. The band participates in a lot of parades and marched in the River Heights parade last Saturday. I thought Maya would enjoy the parade so she and I went and watched Brittany. Since the pit section cannot march with their instruments, they hold the shields and march in front of the rest of the band. Brittany is the last on on the right, holding the "T".

New House

We are building a new house!  This project has been in the works for a long time and we chose to keep it a secret until "Dig Day" because of how frustrating the process has been.  We began this adventure in February 2013 when we found the "lot of our dreams".  This piece of land was perfect.  Perfect location (in Providence), perfect size (0.96 acre), perfect orientation (house will face west).   The development process was long and difficult.  Providence City is not easy to work with.  Their requirements are extensive and often times ridiculous and unnecessary.  We've jumped through all kinds of hoops to get to where we are. We are building with Mt. Sterling Custom Homes.  They have a great reputation for designing and building high quality homes.  I had found a house plan that I really liked, had done some tweaking myself, then took it in to Mt. Sterling's designer to have it smoothed out and fix some areas that weren't q...
