Simpson's version of me...

Hey, if you haven't checked it out yet, you should check out my sister-in-law Angela's blog- The Coolest thing ever! I used her link to the simpsonizer... so what do you think, does it look like me??

The first recipe I ever made...

cheddar chicken

As some of you know, I didn't do much cooking until I moved out on my own in 2000. Even then, I didn't really start cooking frequently until I got married in 2002. However, this was the first recipe (outside of middle school home economics) that I ever tried. It was an instant success with Mike and the rest of my family. Of course, with butter and cheese, how can you go wrong? I rarely make it now, but it is good for something different with a lot of flavor! Enjoy.

Bad day...

Did you ever have one of those days when everything just sucks and there isn't anything you can do to change it? I had one of those days today. I should have known when I woke up to the sound of DJ's talking about how the Yankees lost last night that it was going to be one of those days. Of course at 5am when the alarm goes off, they could be talking about money falling from the sky, and it would still be annoying. The only good thing about today is that it's almost over. ARGH.

Recipe- Cuban Sloppy Joes

I don't like sloppy joes, but I love these. So good!

Fun "fall" weekend

Jonathan walking, yes, walking around at the Harvest festival on Saturday. And a picture from picking a pumpkin today at the farm. Of course Saturday it was about 80 degrees and humid, and today it was in the 70's! Not exactly your typical October day...

Go Yankees!! Win 1 more and we're in the playoffs!!

Maria's shower

This weekend was Maria's bridal shower. It was a lot of fun! On Saturday we made the traditional Canestri cookie boxes. I made snickerdoodles... a fun cookie that apparently everyone has eaten before except me! They are really good though, a butter cookie with cinnamon and sugar. Well, if it's got cinnamon in it, it must be good, right?? Love it! All the food was great, and we all looked cute, and Maria got a ton of stuff! : )
Gotta love showers!
