Delightful Cooking

I so love it when my daughter decides to make a meal. 

 She is a natural in the kitchen. 

That is the time she tells me what to do ;) 

Today it was a day for soup, but her brother wanted something more than soup. 

 She came up with this:

It was potatoes and vegetables and veja links, marinated mushrooms and more.  Her own version of hearty scalloped potatoes. It was just right for a cold day~and delicious!

Sorry, no recipe...

Simple Birthday Celebrations

It was my husbands birthday, and we just were not in the mood to celebrate it in a big way.  My only daughter~at~home made a mango and key lime/lemon pie, and we added ice cream

 then Sparkling Apple juice for a toast to another year of health and happiness.

He is growing his usual Santa beard~each year it seems to come in a little whiter...

This video is a little long, but oh so worth the watch.  Please help me get the message out to raise awareness of the neglected childhood cancer research.  These innocent kids need our help!

Petition
