I know, I know... I skipped Thanksgiving and Christmas! Oh well, maybe someday i'll put some Christmas pictures up, just suffice it to say both holidays were awesome. We spent Thanksgiving in Atlanta with the wonderful Barillas clan and then the fabulous McKee bunch came to visit for Christmas, so basically its all a blur! An awesome, fun-filled, happy blur : ) Here is a little of what we've done this past week-ish.
The boys are doing great (aka they drive me nuts as usual, but no major injuries).
Steve is a building machine, and I like to fuel his hobbies by Pinterest-ing and giving him ideas (the kitchen window will look like this very soon!)
The boys and I tried edamame for the first time this week, Trenty ate more than I did and Raleigh helped me open them but would not eat it! I thought it was delicious though, i'll be buying more of that for snacks again!
This is our first CSA share of the season! (13 weeks) I made radish dip yesterday (yum, I halve the cream cheese), we tried some carrots (yumm) and we had some black beans with peppers, tomatoes, and carrots on salads for lunch (yummmmmm)! As for the beets, I know nothing about them.
My boys are very huggy, mostly because they are always having to say they are sorry and then hug. So its like, a constant hug fest at our house, haha! And there is the first glance at our antique store rocking horse! I LOVE IT. I'd probably love it more as a prop, but I let the boys play with it too ; ) Its one of those "oh my brother is on the rocking horse, I WANT NOW GIMME!!!" kind of toys. Sigh. Oh well, its pretty!
And last but not least, the delicious-o bread I made from my friend Emily's recipe! She uses all whole wheat flour (and I would've) but I had already started and I only had 4 cups! (Out of the 14 needed for the recipe, bread fail) Oh well, I used bread flour and it turned out beautifully anyway! (And did I mention, YUMM??)
Well there ya go, we're alive and livin'! I'll put up some retro pictures (from Thanksgiving and Christmas) eventually. I'm thinking about starting a new blog, mostly because blogger gives me SUCH a hard time with pictures lately. Oh and I'll put up some buttons on the sidebar to follow me on twitter and pinterest, not that I do much tweeting but ya know, and I do PLENTY of pinterest-ing so ya know. Anyway, love y'all!

If you cut the tops off your beets, then roast them (don't bother wrapping in foil) for an hour, slice and sprinkle with salt they are good. You can add them to hummus too. Sliced in salad works too. Awesome CSA share!
haha! constant hug fest. love it. oh and super cute rocking horse! great find!
ok I agree. YUM YUM AND YUM.... and tell me more about the edamame. Do you eat it raw? I am very interested. Trenty is getting SOOOO big holy cow. And the window is sooo cute. I love it.
Oh and you know what, I say skip posting about the last few months. Its good for you to take a break sometimes and move forward. HAHA. I have to do that alll the time.
Miss ya.
I am so impressed! I want your bread now! Way to go Steve for being so handy.
