Family Favorites

I am always on the look out for recipes that are good on the wallet , health and taste buds.  I have some picky kids and this makes things difficult at times.  I was searching on the Kraft Canada website and I found one that is certain to be a family favorite.  Here is the link ,   http://www.kraftcanada.com/en/recipes/sweet-citrus-chicken-106052.aspx   , give it a try and let me know what you think.

I am always so honored to get something that is special. Recently, I inherited a wooden butter bowl, from my husbands parents.  It has inspired me to try my hand at making butter.  On Monday I will be going to the grocery to buy some heavy cream , I can't wait to taste it.  I was raised by my Grandparents so I have learned many things that kids my age wouldn't have learned.  I think this is something my kids will get a kick from and It will bring back so many great childhood memories. 

It is less than a month until we surprise the kids with another Disney trip.  We are going for their birthdays and our Anniversary .  I could really use a holiday!! I will be continuing on my 365 and will post soon.

Cheers

The Joy of Love

I have decided to partisipate in a new challenge :)  It will run nicely with my 365 journal.  This one is brought to me by a Kelly Willette , you can find her here http://willettedesigns.us1.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=dcb16456c382f72009ff2f6bc&id=1ae7bffbbe&e=a54a9549ae.

This is my " What they do" image. SOOC.  All natural light , in front of a south west window.

Our first assignment is to document our subject doing, " what they do".  I had chosen to photograph my youngest doing his favorite thing,  lounging in is pj's while playing with his cars.  At the bottom of Kelly's e-mail there was a link to watch a fantastic tidbit on finding the light in our home and catch lights.  I know my element of comfort isn't in my house , however I do enjoy the idea.  So , away I went !  I tried to pay attention to catch lights and had no trouble " finding the light ". My subject was willing for a moment and I cought an acceptable image.  Hope you enjoy :)
