Alphabet Pancake Breakfast

Who doesn't like a nice hot breakfast of Pancakes once in a while eh? And like any good mom I'm always looking for learning experiences for my boys. So when I make pancakes we make Alphabet pancakes! Pictured here is Orion and Elias holding up the pancake with the first letter of their name on them. (Those are always the ones eaten first lol) I've also done shapes, patterns, and numbers into the pancakes. Fun, Educational, and YUMMY!

Mac-n-Cheese

Okay so here it is. I promised a friend I'd put up my recipe for home made Creamy Mac-n-Cheese...

~

• 2 Cups of Elbow Macaroni (or Macaroni of choice)
• 1 Can (10 oz) Cream of Mushroom Soup (or Cream Soup of choice)
• 1 Cup of grated Cheddar Cheese (more or less to taste)

~

Fill pot with water bring to boil and cook your macaroni. Drain well but don't let it cool to much. Stir in Cream of Mushroom soup until it coats the macaroni well. Add and stir in cheese till it's well melted throughout. Serve and enjoy! Makes 4-6 servings.

@~ Chocolate Roses ~@

Just a little experiment with my chocolate molds.

This Rose is Peanut Butter filled and I was told it was yummy.

^_^ SMILE! ^_^

Long hours working makes for very grumpy people. So I made a reason for him to smile at work.

I made Steak bites with wasabi dip and Sticky rice with Fresh Lemon juice squeezed over it (the smiley is out of the lemon rind). Then in the bottom we have Tomatoes, Green Onions, Diakon Radish, Carrot sticks, Tamagoyaki, Dill Pickle Slices, Pickled Ginger, Red Radishes, Kiwi Fruit and a few Lemon wedges.

Happy Mother's Day!

My husband made me this yummy yellow cake with fruit toppings. Grapes and Lemons. The flowers were a gift from my Church given to all the mothers. So bright and cheery!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LOVE!

It's my Husband's birthday and he requested a steak dinner, so of course that's what I made. We had just a quiet little family party at home but we still had fun and he enjoyed the food and gifts.

Okay so I made Sirloin steaks marinated in char grill BBQ sauce, honey, garlic and green chili peppers, and cooked it over the grill. Slow cooked veggie mix seasoned with parsley/salt/grains of paradise. Fresh veggie options of tomatoes, pickles, avocado, radish, and lemon wedges (not pictured is the freshly made wasabi). Sesame garlic toast, (yes I cheated and bought some strawberry jello). Served with home made New Wine or 7up soda choices. And of course the yellow cake with vanilla frosting and ice cream (Schwans vanilla ice cream, some nice benefits with a husband that works for Schwans). The cake has a picture of a Neko girl smiling and says "Happy Birthday" in Japanese across the bottom. Fitting for a husband who's so into the Japanese culture :P he thought it was awesome.
