Friends of ours had a baby yesterday. Congrats to them! We went to visit over lunch today. That gave me the opportunity to go to Blue Dandelion. I love that place. While there, Mac spotted another pigeon book, so we now have The Pigeon Wants A Puppy. The next one that I think Ada really [...]

Recipe: Apricot Yogurt Dip

Oct 14th, 2008 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 16

And the other recipe. If you don’t use Greek yogurt, then put some regular yogurt in a strainer lined with cheesecloth for about a day. I use Fage fat-free. I dipped grapes in it this morning with breakfast, but I also found myself just eating some with a spoon. Here is where I’m going to [...]

Recipe: Greek Style Beef Skillet

Oct 14th, 2008 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 0

Here is one of the requested recipes. I got this from the American Heart Association. My grandmother has been put on a 2000mg sodium a day diet, so I’m trying some low-sodium recipes. I increased the spices a bit and left out the salt. Oh, and cut up fresh spinach instead of frozen. Greek Style [...]

I’m still awake because Ada is still awake. We went to the pumpkin patch today. She crashed shortly after getting back, and we couldn’t get her to wake up to eat dinner. She finally did around 8:00pm. We are having a slumber party in the living room. Ada swears that she isn’t getting tired yet. [...]

I’ve been integrating the application that I used to keep track of all my recipes with other things. This is a practice posting a recipe from there to Stuology. I thought I would share my favorite pumpkin bread recipe. I ended up getting the meal planner plug-in. I can export my week’s meals from there [...]

Day of Cooking

First, this morning’s trip to the farmer’s market was One Of Those Mornings. I got out of bed feeling so groggy that I could have easily fallen back to sleep if I were to lie back down. Still, the weekends for the market are running short, and I don’t like getting there too late. I [...]

Things to make with pumpkin: Pancakes

Oct 10th, 2008 // In: Posts // By: // Comments 0

I’m going to try Pumpkin-Ginger Pancakes – a recipe from Sunset. Also, my meal plan went pretty well. The one thing that makes planning successful is your ability to adapt to changes in your plan. One night we had a family member with an upset stomach, so the meat ball subs were put on hold [...]

Ada went on her first field trip today. They packed the class up and went to the pumpkin patch. Ada came back with the cutest tiny pumpkin. It is perfectly shaped too. When I went to pick her up, I was waking towards the school as the lady who drove her got the kids out [...]
