Last night we didn’t get a babysitter for our date, so I don’t know if you can really count it as a date because the kids came along. Actually, I didn’t get a sitter because I was going to crash a neighboring ward’s Cub Scout Blue and Gold banquet and leave the kids with Colin. [...]

Colin and I love lasagne/a, but we never eat it, partly because it’s expensive and partly because it’s carbohydrate-intensive and that’s less than ideal for a diabetic (we hardly ever eat pasta, period). I’ve never made lasagne all by myself before and I’ve always heard that it’s a pain to make, but that made me [...]
I've been in Dallas, Texas, for the last few days on our Thanksgiving vacation. Our friends, Ashley and Justin, invited us to stay with them and celebrate Thanksgiving with them this year and we happily took them up on their offer. My sister Phoebe and her husband John live nearby and were invited to join [...]

I'm thinking about practically free things we can do on Monday for Family Home Evening that have to do with Thanksgiving since that holiday is next week, though I can hardly believe it's so soon. I wrote a seperate post here with a list of appropriate LDS music I could use and which are my [...]

As I was finishing, I looked around to make sure I didn't miss something and noticed some leftover frozen peas and carrots from [...]

I got an email today with links to just about every cookie recipe known to man, all at http://www.northpole.com/. I thought it was a neat idea, so I tried to cut and paste all the links, but I guess my site doesn't like lists of links. So, go to http://www.northpole.com/Kitchen/Cookbook/ if you want to see them [...]

For our date on Friday Colin and I went to the Saddle Creek Woodfire Grill in North Little Rock. It's perhaps my new favorite place to eat in Arkansas, simply because of the smell. When I walked into the restaurant the aroma of wood hit me and took me to this place in my head [...]
My last post inspired me to write about artichokes. I LOVE artichokes. They are immensely healthy and filling and very yummy. They're also easy to cook and fun to eat. When I was pregnant with Maggie and had gestational diabetes I noticed that artichokes helped lower my blood sugar. I'm talking about fresh artichokes here, not bottled [...]
One of the things Colin and I like to do together is shop for groceries. We almost always do our grocery shopping together, since we both like the bright lights and colors and want to have some control over the food that comes home. We like to spend time together, too, and it's a little bit [...]
