Cold Weather... Warm Comfort Foods

You may or may not know... that I absolutely LOVE all things "Food Network". My favorites are Paula Deen, Barefoot Contessa, Sandra Lee, and Giada. Joseph enjoys watching Giada too...I don't know why ;) Paula Deen did a "Slow Berry Cobbler" I want to share with you. It is made in the crock pot (I love one pot cooking). You can substitute Splenda for sugar (except I would use real sugar for the topping). Also, most stores sell frozen fruit in mixed berry bags, too. Click on Paula Deen's Slow Berry Cobbler for the recipe!



Here's another one... yummy Meatball Soup. Joseph will tell you the name of "Meatball Soup" did not sound so good at first. But our family loves it! This recipe is by Emeril and is sooo easy to make. Another "one pot wonder"...just following directions in 15 minute 'layers'. Click on Emeril's Meatball Soup for the recipe.




ENJOY!

Let It Snow!

Anna was soooo excited to see it snowing this morning. She thought for sure it was supposed to snow on Christmas. Daddy told her it might snow today - so she woke up and first thing she asked "did it snow yet?" She had to go outside as soon as it started and catch one! She asked "Mommy can I make a snow angel?"
Sorry Anna - there's not quite enough snow :)




trying to catch one with her hand...

trying to catch one in her mouth...

Hilton Head in January

We took a short trip to Hilton Head after Anna's birthday.

We stayed at Disney's Hilton Head Resort. Surprisingly, the weather

was WONDERFUL! On Monday it was 77 degrees and sunny.

We enjoyed a day on the beach and at the pool.

Jumpy Birthday Party

Anna was soooo excited about her birthday party. She had a BLAST! All of her friends jumped and jumped until they were sweaty! The next day she said "Mommy, am I still three?" I would say "Yes Anna, it was not a dream - you are three years old now." She is such a big girl!

Birthday Weekend

We cannot believe that our little girl will be 3 years old!
She can't wait to see her friends and family at her party this weekend.
