I know I've neglected this site.....I feel like I've neglecting anything creative for a while. I went to my photos to see if I could find ANYTHING somewhat creative to post and help jump start my creative juices. Here's what I found. The DELICIOUS chocolate cake I made for Asher's 12th birthday!
My first attempt at roasting pumpkin seeds. Here they are all rinsed and ready for the oven. I have to say they were fabulous and we couldn't stop eating them! It will be a tradition in this house!
Thanksgiving! This year we had two of them. First, the Saturday before the holiday. My brother and his wife came into town to be with his six kids and we couldn't pass up an opportunity to celebrate with all of them. I then turned right around on Thanksgiving day and made my 2nd turkey! It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without my chocolate pecan pie!!!
Here's my find from the farmers market this past month - swiss chard! I love swiss chard and it always reminds me of Papa's garden. He and Mita loved it too and I have to say that this batch was definitely Mita and Papa worthy!
Baked zucchini!!!! I used to love getting fried zucchini when we ate out. I've wanted to try baking it for quite some time and finally took a recipe and did just that. My kids ate it up so quick I could barely get a photo! We will be making these again soon!
I've slowed down on photography lately, but decided to start capturing more of our everyday life. This tree is behind our home and I thought it was so pretty to look at our gorgeous sunset through it. I think I should take more opportunities photographing beauty like this.
Finally.....my third turkey dinner in as many months. We celebrated Presidents Day with a full turkey dinner. It gave me an excuse to make stuffing and sweet potato gratin with our mashed potatoes. A very yummy meal and yummy leftovers!
When I started grabbing photos it was inspiration enough
that my life hasn't been without any creativity.
And now for the best creation of 2011:
My niece - Jade!
Congratulations, Sean & Catherine!
