Camping Out at Home

     One of our all time favorite things to do is relax in front of our wood burning fireplace. The authentic smell and the hypnotizing scene all add to the therapeutic  moment in time when not a worry in the world makes any difference. It is spring break and Hannah and Caleb where thrilled to have a chance to sleep in front of the fireplace. 

Chicken Stir Fry Recipe

   Chicken thighs
   1 pkg. Stir fry vegetables
   Rice
   2 Tbs. Red Vinegar*
   2 Tbs. Olive Oil*
   Mrs. Dash original blend seasoning

            
Heat red vinegar and olive oil. Add chicken and vegetables. Fry until chicken is done. Cook rice as directed and add to your stir fry.  Season with Mrs. Dash original blend. And presto! It is finished.

* Amount is estimated. You can add however much you want.

Alright, now for the story.  We are at weeks end before we have a payday. Didn't know what I should make for dinner and decided to use what I had around the house.  Although this recipe really isn't an original, what I did play with is in how I cooked it. So that is where the Red Vinegar, Olive Oil, and Mrs. Dash comes in.  I snapped a picture of it in the event that I liked it.  Such an easy meal and yet it really was quite good. I even had seconds.  Sometimes my make shift home blends aren't all that great, but I quite enjoyed this one and so thought I would pass it on.

Thank You Cherie! and Oh what a work out!

             Oh, I have to publicly thank Cherie for helping me to finally make some sense of this whole blogging world.  I have a LONG ways to go but thanks to Cherie I am one step closer to "getting it". Lots of love tossed your way Cherie, THANKS!
             For the past few days I have found myself at the gym with my Mom, and can I just say "when did I ever get so out of shape?"  Maybe I can get Cherie to help me figure out how to put comics on here. Because I might find one with a body fallen to the ground after only one push up or something. Ok, so maybe it wasn't that bad. It might have come pretty close though.  I must admit that when I am actually finished with the workout I feel so much better. If anyone has some encouragement, I could really use some extra thrown my way so that I don't stop a good thing. :)

           

Caleb's Baptism

 

Caleb was baptized on February 6, 2010. It was such a wonderful experience to watch my first child take that big step towards becoming like our Savior Jesus Christ. I only hope and pray that he will remember this day and remember the feelings and blessings of the spirit in his life. I am in awe as I have watched his growth even since that blessed day.
