Happy Anniversary

Lovely multicolored roses from my husband <3

Ice park

Today we went to the ice park with Grammie Lorna. Unfortunately it was about the coldest day we have had yet, but it was only 0 so not terrible. The sun was out nicely and the kids (and Mom!) had a great time sliding down the ice slides. We all admired the beautiful sculptures this year! If you would like to see this years carvings, they have a nice web page here.

Cupcake

Blushing pink cupcakes with blue sprinkles and royal gold wrappers to share with the birthday girl's classmates. (Chocolate with vanilla butter-cream)

Artichoke

Steamed with balsamic/mayo dip......
Eagerly scarfed up by guess who??

Trashbag supper

Sometimes you just need Roar for dinner.

Roar is the invention of my BFF's Dad. Yes, it really is tater tots, hamburger and corn smothered in ketchup. It is good, hot, filling, and fast when your tummy says ROAR!!!!

Happy Mardi Gras!!

Or Fat Tuesday :) In the spirit of fatty foods, I decided to make red beans and rice and beniets. I found a recipe on foodgawker to try, and got to use a new cooking gadget:

Thanks again Amy, David, and Zoe!
Everything was very good and I will be adding the recipes to my make again file.
