Welcome Home Daddy Dinner

by Toni on January 16, 2012

I’ve been an extremely lazy blogger lately. I guess that’s the good thing about blogging, right? It’s my blog to update as I wish, with no deadlines to deal with.

Anyway..

My husband had to unexpectedly leave town on Thursday evening to help out our brother-in-law. He’s been staying in hotels and eating out for the last four days so he is really looking forward to a good, home-cooked meal. I have decided to make it a special one to welcome him home. I’ve put together a fairly easy, yet elegant menu for this evening; Asparagus soup, Cornish Game Hens, Mushroom Risotto, and then finish the meal off with his favorite dessert, Bananas Foster. We’ve missed him a lot and can’t wait to have him back home with us this evening!

Until then I’m off to cuddle with my youngest daughter, who has a fever and isn’t feeling the best, and watch Dora the Explorer – her favorite show.

Happy New Year

by Toni on January 2, 2012

Between the holiday chaos and then getting sick, I haven’t had much time or energy to post here. I did make a lot of delicious things for the holidays though. I love this picture I took while making Christmas Cake Balls. Something about it just screams Christmas to me.

They turned out really good, if you like peppermint. I had a little problem with piping the red, but hey .. it is what it is.

I helped my girls make cookies for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. We had so much fun!

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and we wish you fabulous new adventures in the new year! May all your dishes be perfection on a plate.
