My dinner is better than yours
I don’t mean to brag, but its true. Look at these!
I made shredded beef and potato gorditas. They were crispy and soft and salty and savory.
To add to it we had a side of fruit salsa and cinnamon chips.
Uuuuhhhhhh….. I’m so full!
You want some too, huh! Lucky you, I’ve provided the recipes. You’re welcome.
I’ll try not to be such a stranger. The crazy holidays are finally over so I can concentrate on real life again. Like laundry. And cleaning out my over stuffed kitchen cabinets and pantry. Oh, that sounds terrible. Lets try that again! Ok, (straightening posture…) I can concentrate on fun things now that the holidays are over! Things like knitting, reading, drawing, and blogging! Whew, there. That’s a better list!
Sunset Walk on the Beach
A couple weeks ago a friend and I took a photo walk. We went to the lake and found a cool beach with drift wood and rocks and we were there long enough to watch the sun set. Here are a few of the photos I took, it was a lot of fun. We want to go on another outing with the pure intentions of shooting scenery. We hope to find an abandoned barn next time!
This weekend I’m going to do a family portrait sitting of some friends and their little boy. I think the area is going to make a nice backdrop for pictures…
Muffin review
I made the most amazing blueberry muffins a couple weeks ago. And I’m finally getting around to writing about it. As you can see, they make a round top. Which means two things for me. 1 – they are pretty (yay) and 2 – they stick to my pan like crazy (d’oh). So unfortunately I broke a lot of them in half trying to get them out of the muffin pan. Which is actually no big deal. I’m not particular about how they look when I’m cramming them into my face. The boys don’t seem to mind either! I found the recipe via Pinterest (here is the link). These muffins baked up moist and cakey. I felt like I’d bought them from the bakery. My two youngest – the chefs – helped make and sprinkle on the streusel-like topping. I think the next time I make them I’ll try to get that crumbier than I did here. The picture posted by the original blogger looked more like how you’d imagine streusel. Oh well. It still tasted very good. And I will be making these again (and again, and again…)! Oh, the other perk – they tasted just as good the next day! Usually my muffins are dry the next day. Not these, nope. Totally the type of thing you could bake up on the weekend and eat well into the week.
…pssst… This was my 400th post! Whoa! 
A Taste of Autumn
The recipe is finally up. I made Upside Down Pear Cake. It was deelish! I’d suggest making it on a cool autumn day. The whole family liked it. If you make it, leave me a little comment!
sneak peak…
Since I don’t have quite enough time to type out the recipe, I’ll give you a glimpse into what my next post will be:
Yep, it has to do with pears. And brown sugar. Mmmhmm…I baked. And took pictures.
Lets just say that I wasn’t disappointed with the outcome…..
