Food Fodder: Turkey Noodle Soup

One of my very favorite things about Thanksgiving is cooking. I just love donning my pink apron, getting out my favorite recipes, and preparing a delicious meal for my family to fawn over. My other favorite thing? Leftovers! Some people can’t fathom anything beyond turkey sandwiches for Thanksgiving leftovers. I’m here to tell you, the…

Monday Mosaic

Here we are again! My house is clean, my dishes are put away, and my sweet, sweet baby girls are napping. Are we sure this is Monday? Here’s a little bit of random for your Monday: 1. Yesterday was my Blogiversary! Six years I’ve been pouring over this thing. A few venue changes have taken…

Fill in the Black Friday

Linking up with Lauren for a little fill in the blank Friday! Come join in! 1.   Waking up at the break of dawn to go shopping is my idea of  cruel and unusual punishment. When I shop, I like to go in, find what I need (even if it means shopping for two hours for jeans),…

Thankful Thursday: Kids Talking Turkey

Last year, I asked my nephew a few questions about Thanksgiving, and he made my sides hurt from laughter. This year, all I got was “dadadalalalagagagoodadamamamamamamMAAAA!” from the girls, so I had to once again rely on my nephew for blog fodder, but this year, my niece was able to play, too! My nephew has,…

Food Fodder: A Fine Brine

It’s not too late! You still have approximately 3-12 hours to get your turkey in a brine! Why brine? If you’ve never experienced the magic that is a brined turkey, frankly, I pity you. From Wikipedia: In cooking, brining is a process similar to marination in which meat is soaked in brine before cooking.[1] Brining…

Food Fodder: Thanksgiving Meal Plan!

{thanks} It’s going to be a great Holiday season this year! We have  family to visit, lots of great food, and I couldn’t be more excited about being able to cook this year! Last year at this time, I was so miserable. I could barely breathe, eating was hard and un-enjoyable, and cooking was absolutely…

Happy Thanksgiving… from my nephew!

1.) Interview your kids…what do they think Thanksgiving is for? What are they thankful for? etc. I loved this writing prompt from Mama Kat this week, and I knew just who I would ask. Since my girls are still growing away in my tum tum, I thought it would be fun to interview my nephew….

A Month of Thanks (Round Three)

Courtesy of Steph! Today is one of those days when it’s easy to be thankful.  It’s been a fantastic day! 18. I’m thankful for healthy babies! Baby A is seven pounds and Baby B is six pounds! We’ve made it to thirty five and a half weeks and things look great!  (Aside from the thirty…

Twitter Thought Tuesday

Is it really only Tuesday? It feels like Thursday. But if it were really Thursday, I would be in a turkey coma with gravy all down myself concocting a plan of how to get pumpkin pie from the plate into my mouth.  Alas, cheese fries and a french dip are in my near future, along…
