Yum!

This year I have decided to venture out into candy making.
Peanut Brittle recipe click here
Fudge recipe click here
And let's just say I have made two batches of the fudge and it disappears so quickly my kids forget to hide the evidence.


I had the ingredients and figures with all the snow fall it was a perfect day to try my soup making skills out. Yes you heard me right I have never made homemade soup before but now I can check that off my to do list. I didn't use a recipe just put carrots, celery, onions, garlic, seasonings and a combination of bouillon and chicken broth. I substituted egg noodles for bow tie noodles which worked fine. My kids aren't typical soup eaters but devoured their Chicken soup and begged for more until all that was left was one lonely onion.



O.K. The kids took this picture of the newly fallen snow.
Isn't it beautiful!
The beauty only lasted a couple of minutes which was exchanged for smiles and laughter.

I know what you are all thinking it's Cookie Day and she hasn't blogged about cookies rest assured they are in the oven.
And will be resting nicely in my tummy shortly!
What's your favorite cookie?

My favorite Cookie is the chocolate chip cookie recipe that Nanette "Stole". My family refers to them as "Stolen Cookies" in my opinion, once you have one you will do anything to steal another one. "Thanks Nanette for your thivery!" I also love chewy chip's ahoy cookies. I can devour a whole bag by myself. But I don't mind sharing. Do macaroons count as cookies? Nanette makes some most delicious ones. And if you are looking for something in between a cookie and a brownie Wendy Briscoe has got an awesome recipie up her sleeve. I have put on many colories with her delightful treat. And if Rice Krispie treats count as a cookie, (which I don't think they do because they are a cereal) they get very high marks in my book especially when they are made out of the coco/vanilla krispies and then you mix in milk chocolate and white chocolate chips. Then they disappear before they cool in the pan. Yep, I think I need to pull out my cookie sheets. All this cookie talk is making me think about a big blue sesame street monster who LOVES COOKIES! YUMM YUMM!

Well, I have only found one decent recipe for a dairy egg free cookie, so that is what I make. It is an oatmeal cookie and you can't tell that it is dairy and egg free.
I love homemade soup. I just got done making a huge pot full to go with our 7 inches of snow in Seattle.

It's Blabbing day today!! Are they kidding me? A day I can just go on and on about nothing? (I bet they created this day for the children)LOL! So I found a brand of shoes that I absolutely love to look at. I have not worn or own a pair but would love to in the future. I just think paying more than $20 for a pair of shoes is crazy! And most of there shoes are $50+ These are one of my favorite!! But I haven't been able to find them cheaper than $89 that's a little steep.(I think) I will find them cheaper you just watch. They might be out of style by the time I can purchase them but I will have them. I love these too! I think I have a new hobby.. collecting shoes, now if I could only afford them. I have a couple of kids who have a difficult time channeling their Anger. So we are thinking of putting them into AKIDO (martial arts). Akido focuses on using there energy to gain control, Not on striking their opponent. I might actually need to take a few classes myself. I find chann...

My last trip to Albertson's turned out to be the best! Yes, I know you are sick of me posting about shopping but I had a few of you ask.. How I do it? I ended up spending $1.77 for what you see in the picture. You ask how? Albertson's Ad had two double coupon certificates in their ad where they would double up to 3 manufacture coupons per certificate. There are a few sites I continuously go to print off coupons they are... Betty Crocker Coupon Cat Pillsbury Albertson's had a sale when you bought $30 worth of certain items you would get 3 $5 dollar coupons for your next purchase. I grouped all my coupons together to try to get the best deal I could. The first time I purchased it actually cost me $17 something but I had $15 for a next purchase. The trick was to get 6 $1 coupons which equaled $12 +$15=$27 ....out of pocket=$3 and then 3 more $5 coupons would print out and you beg your neighbor friends or anyone you can for more double coupons and go back I pretty much lived ...

Yesterday we had the Opportunity to meet the Author of FableHaven and CandyShop Wars Brandon Mull. When he got there he answered questions and was very personable. Then he started signing books and individually answered questions. He also had a few questions for us. He also signed posters for all the kids. (I have no idea what were going to do with 6 posters) (Maybe with the underlining message my kids will enjoy reading) The line was longer than we expected but we were there pretty early and had a chance to be 4th or 5th in line. (if my kids would have just got in line while I was taking kids potty) (I'm glad we got there when we did) Overall a great family (education) moment. (Yes, Mom I got your copy signed as well)
