Watch out for that mixer!


I had a craving today for peanut butter fudge brownies. I found the receipe yesterday in my Pillsbury Best of the Bake Off Cookbook (wonderful, by the way). Since it's been too hot to play outside lately, I asked Lucas to help me. He loves helping me bake. His job includes pouring ingrediants into the mixer and turning it on. The whole process takes a lot longer when L helps, but he loves it so much that it's worth the extra time (and occasional frustration). Everything was going great until Lucas turned the mixer onto high right after I had added a 1/3 of our dry ingrediants resulting in this picture! Poor kid - he had cocoa in his eyelashes.


Look at that yummy goodness - totally worth the extra cleanup from the cocoa/flour explosion. Wow! If you get a hankering for some rich, chocolate, peanut butter goodness, come on bye!


The day ended great (after a melt down at dinner) with Lucas making this killer track for his monster truck. I love watching his mind work.

Baby steps

Guess what? I'm taking steps today to get just a little closer to my dream. We're off to the gym in a little bit to keep working towards losing those 38 pounds. I'm also working on a plan to sell specialty homemade cheesecakes during the holidays. Doing something I love and making some extra money for the people I love. Pretty great stuff!

Special K

I have developed a rather fond relationship with Kellogg's Special K Vanilla Almond. Low in fat (only 1.5 g) and made with whole grains, I eat this tasty treat as a meal and a snack. I'm eating some right now. Special thanks to Kat for introducing me to this delightful cereal. Our local Ingles has been running it on sale this past week, 2 for $4, so I stocked up. The milk is even on sale too, 2 for $5, making this treat yummy and affordable. Sweet, crispy flakes and crunchy almonds. What more could a girl ask for. By the way, you should go to Ingles. Everything is on sale. I picked up some lean ground beef today for $1.38 per pound. Now that's good for the budget. Low prices + good food = happy housewife

Let's go shopping at Aldi's!

If you're shopping at Aldi's this week, I recommend that you stock up on Eggs and Milk! Seriously, a dozen eggs for $1.09 and Milk for $2.19! The price of beef may have gone up, but I'm loving the other staples we get from a cow! I bought 4 dozen eggs this week. Overkill for sure, but when our family eats eggs, we usually eat 7 in one setting! Eggs and toast are a staple breakfast in our house - we eat that at least 4 times a week! It's fast and filling and cheap! If you're looking for something more exciting to do with your eggs, try making a breakfast casserole! I love this casserole from Ree, the Pioneer Woman. Everything she makes is delightful, but this recipe is especially great! As with most recipes, I tweaked it a bit to fit our tastes. For all of his perfect aspects, my handsome husband does not eat mushrooms. This could have been a deal breaker for me 13 years ago, but then I saw his drummer toned legs and I decided to look past his misjudgment! No ...
