New Recipes

Despite the illness, we actually have tried some new recipes ... all of which have turned out great!

This first one is for Brussell Sprouts. I know, gross, right?!? But these were really good! We got Brussell Sprouts in the produce basket, otherwise, no way would I have ever tried them, but take it from me, this recipe really does make them taste good. You basically roast the heck out of them until the outside is actually crispy. Yummy!

I also made these Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies right before I got sick, so sadly I didn't get to enjoy much of them, but Wade did. The one I did have was delicious. Super rich for sure!

Seems like I made something else new too, but I can't remember what the heck it was. Have I mentioned I am getting old??? Oh well, at least you can see one resolution is getting accomplished! It is back to running today, which I am sure is going to suck, but it is what it is.

Oh and Keira has chosen a theme for her 6th birthday party which is fast approaching ... Circus Party! Should be exciting, I am hard at work planning the carnival games and food :)
