Let’s Go To The Park

Thanks to the warmer Summer weather, and Thade’s Day Camp we are at the park all the time. Last week was Dylan’s first time on the swings, and he wasn’t the biggest fan, but we’ll try again another time. Thade would live at the park if we would let him. He loves to play on the swings, and slide on the slides. I love looking at all of the wild flowers, and seeing the ducks and geese, they are too cute.

Do you have a favorite park or park activity?

Off to the Farmer’s Market

We made another trip to the Farmer’s Market this morning, but we were a little too late to pick up the fresh produce. My sweet tooth paid off, I found plenty of sweet treats this morning. We picked up a batch of new potatoes, chocolate brownies, blackberry pie, a blueberry muffin, peanut butter fudge (my mother in laws fudge is way better), and a caramel roll for Thade’s breakfast.

My neighbor told me that the market is also open on Wednesday mornings, and Thade is always up early on weekdays, so we’ll have to check it out, and hopefully get some yummy veggies! Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Summer!

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Summer season! Enjoy those BBQ’s and local festivals, and don’t forget to stay cool with plenty of ice cream.

Make It or Buy It: Turkey

For Father’s Day I planned a “Thanksgiving” style meal for my hubby, Turkey with all of the fixings. I usually buy a Honeysuckle White frozen bone-in turkey breast, but Wal-Mart was out of my favorite turkey. I spotted the Jennie-O Oven Ready Skinless Boneless Turkey Breast, and I thought I would give it a try.

The Jennie-O turkey was a bit pricey for just one turkey breast, but it was easy to make. No thawing, no cleaning, just pop it in the oven and go. However, it didn’t stretch as far as my favorite Honeysuckle Turkey does. We did get 3 meals out of it, but no turkey stock for those tasty Turkey Noodles.

In a pinch for a quick meal the Jennie-O did a great job, but for the money I’ll be buying the Honeysuckle White Turkey and making a big batch of turkey stock.

Wanted to Do More, but my Head Hurts

We made it through the busy day yesterday, and I was up late last night with Dylan. I had this great plan today to fill the freezer and catch up on all of the neglected housework, but a horrible migraine found me, and I’ve been sick all day.

The boy’s have been great, and patient with me today. My hubby even brought me home a Route 44 Diet Coke from Sonic to help out my aching noggin, he is just too sweet. I think I’m going to call it an early night, and take it easy this evening. I just hope to be back up and going tomorrow, the dishes are piling up in the kitchen.
