Chocolate Mousse and Cherry Parfait

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Project 365 – #190 We picked up some delicious cherries at Walmart today, so I thought I would use some of the chocolate mousse that I had made up from the previous day with the cherries to create a parfait.  It was such a big hit that we’ve gone through almost of the cherries that just purchased.  (Note: this batch of mousse did not set up like usual for whatever the reason, so it isn’t as fluffy as normal.  At least it still tasted delicious. lol!) Gluten Free Chocolate Mousse Recipe Ingredients: 1/2 C heavy whipping cream 1 tsp pure…

Hearty Breakfast

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #189 Yet another hearty breakfast for my Marine.  He loves to start his day with a solid breakfast.  It doesn’t always happen, but it’s definitely what he prefers.  Me?  I’d be happy with a muffin or breakfast bar.  😉  Munchkin likes a wide assortment of items for breakfast – as long as mommy gets them for her.  lol! Sorry I’m so late in posting today.  It’s been a long day of working on the computer and blog.  I have a love – hate relationship with technology….

Cowboy Up

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #187 D decided that he needed to cowboy up a little this weekend.  He was tired of just sitting around the house, so he said that we were going to do a little exploring.  We took his truck out and enjoyed some of the desert trails.  He did pretty well.  Since it was a long weekend, he was able to recover from our trips by relaxing.  (We didn’t do any hiking – just driving around.)  It was fun to be back out there exploring as a family.  We’d all missed it.

Contentment

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #186 photo by Munchkin Is this the face of happiness and contentment or what? “Puppy” loves to go on trips and outings with us.  Normally, he’ll just sit in the back seat, curl up, and fall asleep.  Lately, he’s taken to moving over closer and closer to Munchkin in the back seat.  (We have bench seats in the trucks.)  Pretty soon, he’s resting his head on her lap.  He’s happy as can be cuddling close to her. Yesterday, Munchkin captured his silly content face when he looked up at her.  We all just laughed when we saw…
