So, this year, I've been pretty sick. I am finally better, but I did not plan like I usually do, and I've been so tired, that this year's meals will be less exciting.
We got up here really late on Sunday night, so the meals are starting today (Monday, 7/21). Breakfast was just oatmeal, and then we had to create our menu for the week (yes!! it's usually done by now in an excel sheet with the menu & a list of the ingredients.with crazy -I've just been TOO tired). Lunch was a hodgepodge of sandwiches, fruit, cheese, etc. Dinner was tacos and the girls are planning to make chocolate quesadillas, but the recipe of the day was Pull Apart Ranch Bread (called "Crack Bread" by most because it's so addicting.)
Recipe to follow…
About Me
- :) Beth
- Most of you know that I came from a big family ~ 7 kids! No, we are not Catholic. Yes, we had the same parents. (Those are usually the two questions people ask when they hear "7 kids?".) Most of you also know that my mom was sick for years. I am the second oldest, so I did a lot of the care-taking of the younger kids. I learned to cook when I was 10. I remember the first thing I cooked with my dad was Tacos. I loved cooking. Then, there was the baking. I made all the desserts and the b-day cakes for everyone's b-day, including mine. And I loved it! Another thing I remember is my grandmother making the biggest dessert spreads ever at the holidays. She made sure that every person there (we are talking, like, 30+ people) had their favorite dessert. I remember visiting her when I was 20. We cooked & baked all week. I never felt as close to her until then. We had this bond now - baking! I learned so much from her. I think it fueled my love of baking ~ and cooking! Now, at the Holidays, I make sure to prepare everyone's favorite dessert, no matter how many attend. It just wouldn't be the Holiday's if you didn't have your favorite pie, cake, cookie or candies!!
