My Little Muffin
May 6, 2011Why have I never used the WordPress app for my iPhone before now?! So fun and easy,…we’ll see if it helps me post more!
Yesterday, Ruby, Elliot, and I walked up to the park. I had to snap this pic of Rube’s wearing a sweater my sister and I both wore when we were her age. My little muffin,…how adorable she is!
Her favorite activity lately is swinging,…she likes to start on the baby swing and then eventually transitions to the big kid swing for a bit.
My little muffin…she’s getting so big.

Last Week’s Meals
August 25, 2009Last weeks meal recap…..
Monday- Pot Roast, Simply Recipes
VERY basic ingredients and SO quick to throw together, I thought this pot roast wouldn’t have enough flavor. But, my friends, it did! Was DELICIOUS! Loved it. Served it with the carrots that roasted in the juices along with some cous cous. Great Meal.
Tuesday- Tomato and Goat Cheese Tarts, Ina Garten, with side salad
The Tomato and Goat Cheese Tarts…they were good, but not amazing or anything. I think I’ll definitely go for this recipe again, but maybe put my own spin on things…maybe try a different cheese and throw a bit more flavor it. Good, but not amazing. Worth trying though! And, I’ll definitely look it up again….they were so easy and still pretty good!
Wednesday- Coq Au Vin, The Pioneer Woman
Awesome. Although I made the mistake of overlooking the fact that AFTER you cooked the chicken in the skillet, you had to THEN bake the chicken in the oven for over an hour (WHOOPS!), it was still delicious (although we didn’t eat until about nine ‘o clock at night!!) Wondeful flavor…but, what doesn’t have wonderful flavor when bacon is involved!!
This dish does take a bit of time for preparation and bakes for a while, but it is TOTALLY worth it! So good!!
Thursday- (Community Group, food for 10 peeps)- BBQ Pulled Beef Sandwiches
Another great dish! The slow cooking of the beef was super easy and simple. The BBQ sauce was a bit too tomato-y for my taste, but a bit more vinegar and additional spices did the trick to making it more tasty! I think I just liked the idea of making your own BBQ sauce,…but in all honesty, it probably wouldn’t have made much of a difference if you had just poured in a bottle of store bought BBQ sauce. So, if all else fails,…go for that. But, the sandwiches were DELICIOUS as well as the best chocolate sheet cake ever, which I’ve made before!
Friday- Potato Bacon Torte, Melissa Darabian
Totally didn’t feel like making the homemade pie crust (I got lazy) so, I ended up making a crustless Potato Bacon Torte with rosemary instead of thyme and sharp cheddar instead of guyere….also added in some chopped green onions. This was good, but more like a gourmet scalloped potato dish. If i had gone for the crust, I’m sure it would have been a bit more like a main course dish.
Now to plan this weeks meals,…a little behind!
