Just a Slice of Pie

{No thank you...wait a second, does that have peanut butter in it?}

Just Eat Cake

The next couple of weeks is about celebrating birthdays at our house.  All three of our kids (we planned well!) have birthdays within a couple of weeks of each other.  To celebrate, I've planned a few illustrations around the sweet and tasty cake.

Potato Soup

A kind lunch invitation to our neighbor's house this past weekend resulted in a warm bowl of potato soup. As our hosts said, "its a comfort food." Oh my, it sure was. So comfortable we ate and talked until almost dinner-time. We then politely scooted out. We have to keep it even-keel in hopes for a future soup invite. By the way, does anyone out there have a great (easy) potato soup recipe? {available}

Bread and Pasta

I was so hungry last night. With our cupboards almost bare, spaghetti was one of the few items left to eliminate that pain. To make it more filling, I love it with bread and butter (b&b). Though I moderate the pasta and bread well, my son tends to weigh heavy on the latter. For him its a b&b dinner with some noodles on the side. {available}

Scotcheroo

What a way to start off the year...with a scotcheroo. Honestly, I've never made these before, but they taste really good. Our friends brought them over last night for our New Year's Eve get-together and the kids snarfed them down. My son says his 4th grade class jumps every time a classmate brings them for treats. How can you go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate?

1/6/09 UPDATE: Okay, Cary B. just gave me her Scotcheroo recipe if interested:
(1) Cup Corn Syrup, (1) Cup Sugar, Melt together over low heat, add 1/2 cup peanut butter until melted, add 6 cups of Rice Krispies. Melt chocolate chips and pour over the top! {available}
