Garden Rocks

For our last monthly craft night I found this idea.  My husband loves to garden and so we have a small garden that is always taken care of and produces such yummy fresh veggies.  I dont do anything with the garden- it is my husbands baby.  So I always forget what is planted where.  The kid and I made these rocks that we placed at the end of each row.  (Onions, Radish, Cucumber, tomatoes, squash and lettuce)

Classic Macorni Salad

I though this pasta salad looked refreshing.  It was OK.  Honestly, it was just a little boring.  I added cheese and lime juice but it was still boring.  I need to try something exciting now.

Hot Corn Dip

We love dips.  This one was different than others we have ever had.  It had a little kick to it which we like.  Pretty good!!

Dinner Rolls

I have been married awhile....and I have only made homeade dinner rolls ONE time!  And they didnt turn out all that good.  Well, they didnt turn out like my mom makes them.
I found this recipe on pinterest and gave them a try.  So easy and so delicious.  There is no store bought roll that can hold up to a homeade one.  Now that I know these are easy and so good I will not be afraid to make them more often!

Basil Chicken in Coconut Curry Sauce

CURRY.

I * am * a * fan!!  I have had indian food once.  So I've only had curry once.  But I love it.  It is so different than any other flavor.  Honestly, change is good with my menu.  Most everything I make seems to have the same type of flavor.  But this curry was so different.  Another hit with my family as well. Yum Yum Yum.  Now I need to experiment more with this flavor.

*This didnt make all that much sauce.  I will double it next time so we can have more leftovers over all the left over rice!

Daughters for a time

I love to read but I have not had ANY time lately to pick up a book.  Last week the kid had a 3 hour dance dress rehersal that I got to sit through.  So I looked through my kindle and tried to find what looked like a good book to read.  I found one with 5 stars and gave it a try.

This book did had some "pull at your heartstring" parts but I really enjoyed it. It was a quick and easy read.  I loved that I could connect with the main character, Helen, in ways that I can't with other characters.

She had awful things happen in her life that I did not experience, such as her mother dying when Helen was only 14 and having her father walk out on their family.

However, there were things that I understood.  Helen struggled with infertility for 4 years and suffered a miscarraige. I know first hand the pain and heartache that comes with both of these experiences.  I could relate to her as she stuggled to gain one of the greatest desires of her heart- bringing a baby into the world.

Sweet Chicken nuggets

The recipe said these nuggets will tast like Chick fil-a nuggets.  They did not taste anything like Chick Fil-a.  However... They were still yummy.  The husband liked them and the kid L*O*V*E*D them.  And to me, that equals a success.  I've never seen her eat so much :)
