Never mind that Easter has come and gone, today we dyed our eggs. All the kids love a bright, vibrant egg so they soak for quite awhile and we have many solid colored eggs. But then we get down to the last few eggs and the creativity kicks in and eggs start taking a bath in every color. And this one, I just loved how it turned out.
Our bakery at our local store started making the most amazing looking pastries. We gawk and drool every time we walk by. For so long we resisted the tempation [and big price tags] and kept on going. Until today. Sadly, the taste wasn’t as yummy as it looks but still quite tastey!
Pepsi Throwback – made with natural sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup [HFCS]. I hadn’t heard this was coming but came across it yesterday and picked up a couple bottles for myself. I’m not a big pop drinker anymore but I occasionally love a good Pepsi! And really, I love this more than the HFCS version. It’s still sweet and tastes like Pepsi, only it doesn’t have such a sickening sweet syrupy feeling. And I love not taking in that HFCS to begin with! I’m not sure I agree with the ‘Throwback’ name – this is how it should be.
One of my very favorite yummy treats comes in pretty colors for Easter. Yes, I ate them after they were very good models for my shot.
I saw this recipe on Rachael Ray the other day and had to try it. I altered it just a bit but it was DE-LIC-IOUS! I had to alter is just a bit, I don’t do anchovies and I added some ceaser salad dressing for a little extra flavor and used premade croutons. I could eat this everyday!
It’s the season for fresh produce and I’m so excited! I wait all winter long for fresh yummies to come my way. Finally, they are back in season and the prices are coming down. We made short change of 2 pounds of strawberries!
Tonight was the last night of swimming lessons and both boys passed their level. What better way to celebrate than with Blizzards! Me and the kids, we had to put part of ours in the freezer, but James, he ate that big huge thing all at once!
Isn’t James so sweet to be sharing his string cheese with his most favoritest kitty, Millie? This gives me warm fuzzies inside!
Dillan wanted to go out for Chinese for his birthday. He couldn’t wait to get through his lunch to get a big sundae!
We didn’t let the big snow effect our steak craving. We busted out the grill for the first time in months to grill up some beef and potatoes. It was so worth it!
