I Could Just Eat You Up




So I am talking about Lane, Estelle, and yummy new recipes :0 I have a weakness for some really adorable kids and great food, and by the way, losing the baby weight? Not going so good :)This little girl loves her bath time.

Lane is so great with Estelle! Today she had a cute, springy outfit on. When I picked Lane up from school, he looked at her and said, "she looks really pretty today." I thought that was about the sweetest thing a big brother could say to his little sister.

Moving on to food... what else. When Reese is home I like to make some yummy new recipes. Number one, because he appreciates it and number two, because he can help me watch Little Miss while I cook it. Otherwise, Little Miss doesn't let me get anything done. She would rather not nap for more than 20 minutes at a time, just in case she might miss something really important. I am linking the recipes here, just click on the name of the recipe and it should take you straight to the food network website. I have become quite the foodie again, for two reasons. I am breastfeeding so I am really hungry. Two, because Estelle loves to be held or just for me to sit next to her on the floor while she plays so I spend more time in front of the tv watching Food Network. Hey I could be watching soap operas and Housewives of Orange County (or whatever that is) or even worse the Home Shopping Network.
Paula Deen's Pot Roast Really yummy and we ended up making our own gravy because there wasn't a lot of sauce left at the end of cooking.
Lemon Chicken Breasts This was surprisingly awesome. My friend Kelly was talking about Ina Garten and I became more intrigued to try one of her recipes. I was drawn to this one because of it's simplicity, I wasn't sure how we would like it but we all loved it. I used bone in, skin on thighs. They worked out well. I also make some brown rice and put the sauce on that too. The peas... Lane will eat them, thats why I make them a lot. I alternate between peas, corn, carrots and salad and usually Lane will eat those.
