The other day I finally decided to update the recipes on the sidebar. They should all be there now. (If you can think of anything I've posted that isn't there, do let me know!) Coming soon will be recipes for Thai Vegetable Shrimp Wraps and Chicken Pad Thai, both gluten free and extremely (cough) healthy (cough) recipes (GASP! no butter!) My Cashew Chicken can also EASILY be made gluten free if you're careful to buy the right soy sauce (San-J brand is widely available).
Just in case you've missed some, here's the full list of recipes:
Potato Salad (for people who don't like potato salad)
Roasted Cauliflower (Seriously tastier than French Fries)
Cashew Chicken (Brings all the boys to the yard) (and some girls too) (and grandma from across the street)
Man-Pleasing Breakfast Casserole
Parmesan Crusted Pork Tenderloin
Chocolate Chip Cookies (THE BEST)
Crab Dip & Crab Dip Stuffed Mushrooms
Cocktail Recipes:
And if that wasn't enough of a reason to update ye olde blog, then there's always this photo I took of the kids this afternoon. Today, February 24th. As in WINTER. I've titled this photo pretty aptly if I do say so myself:
SERIOUSLY?
The best picture I've seen...

Also, I took your chili recipe and made it my own Dawg. Thanks for the inspiration.

It's not winter here. We've got cherry blossoms.

That chili recipe is super adaptable. I change it all the time myself! (sour cream! cheddar!)

Love that they are still wearing their little boots, despite the warmth. IMO, that's the detail that totally makes the photo. :-)

I thought it was just my kids who ran around in underpants and moon boots! Awesome photo!

Was this post supposed to make me hungry after I've already eaten dinner? Because it totally worked, if so.
Also: hello! Movie date soon?

Kerri!
I was just thinking the same thing. We need to get together soon. Dinner? A movie? Dancing even? I'm totally game!

When I saw this picture, I thought your son was dressed as cupid and shooting an arrow--- see how the chairs in the background sort of form angel wings.... He is just that cherubic to pull it off.

Ditto on the Cupid thing. I just typed:
The back of the chair give a winged-look to Alex, creating a Cupid feel.
and then read Kim's comment.
