Frozen Banana Treats

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #130 What do you do with 36 pounds of bananas?  Well, you let your little monkey eat her share.  Then mommy and daddy eat a bunch or two.  You make a few fruit salads.  Finally, you start slicing up the bananas and freeze them on a cooking sheet.  Once they’re frozen, you toss them in a ziploc bag or into a freezer container.  Now, they’re ready for yummy smoothies or chocolate banana pops.  Yum!  Perfect treats for those hot summer days. For those warm winter months, the frozen bananas can be thawed and mashed as needed to…

Pancakes for Lunch

Posted in Family, Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #129 Today, D decided that he really wanted some gluten free pancakes for breakfast.  Well, the problem was that it was almost lunch time before he woke up.  (The pain meds tend to make him rather sleepy in the morning.)  I told him that I would be happy to make him some pancakes for lunch.  In our Bountiful Baskets this week, we had some delicious organic apples that I decided to dice and add to the pancake mix.  To round out the pancakes, I added some cinnamon. Munchkin didn’t really want pancakes for lunch.  She wasn’t feeling…

Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court. ~Psalm 127:3-5

Project 365 – #127 Today, I picked up our new Bountiful Baskets.  They were filled with all kinds of delicious fruits and veggies. It’s so much fun opening our organic box to see what goodies it holds for us.  We were thrilled to see some honey dew, kiwi, and pineapple this week.  What a yummy treat. I decided that we’d enjoy some of our new goodies all day.  For breakfast, I made up a nice fruit salad.  For lunch, we had turkey bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches.  Then, for supper, I set out to make some tasty turkey burgers. When…

A Beautiful Day

Posted in Family, and Photography

Project 365 – #126 Today, D was able to play with Munchkin on the Wii for a period of time while I ran out to get a few groceries.  Munchkin treasured this time, and I was glad that D was finally able to sit up long enough to do this with her.  Now, they weren’t playing an active game in any way, shape, or form.  Nope.  They were playing Lego Star Wars.  Our family rather enjoys Star Wars and Legos, so this is a good pairing for us. **grin** Later on, Munchkin was able to go to the pool with…
