Month: January 2010

So Legos really saved me this year. Zander really wanted the R2-D2 cake- and I thought about trying, I really did.  But I’m just not that confident in my cake making skills to pull that off.  I was thinking and thinking of what I could do for a cake when […]

Six years old- and no signs of slowing down yet.  Gosh, I love this little man. You’ll have to wait for cake pictures, I’m afraid.  The cake will be for Saturday’s party, today we feasted on birthday pancakes for breakfast and will take some snickerdoodles with us to church tonight.   […]

Now that we’re almost finished up with January, and the diets to rid all the excess calories from the holidays, we can march into February with sweets back on the radar.  After all, with the Super Bowl coming up in a few weeks, we can throw caution to the wind […]

Tonight was a breakfast-for-dinner night.   We had leftover sloppy joes from Monday on the menu, but that really didn’t appeal to me, and as the day crept on, pancakes were sounding more and more like a good idea to me.   As the dinner hour crept closer, I hopped onto the […]

Of course, I say that with sarcasm, because I remedied the situation by being a good mom.  But still… The other day I looked at Zander’s chosen attire for the day.  Most of his pants, once again, are quickly treading into the grey area of almost being high waters.  How […]

Ever have one of those days?  You have to do a meal plan so that you can do a grocery shopping plan.  But you put it off and put it off, and then it’s nearly time to get ready to head out the door and you’re STILL staring at a […]

Or… Why Haven’t I Tried This Before! Last night I took the rare opportunity of having a husband away to have a friend over for dinner.   It was a great opportunity to just have some girl talk, catch up a bit, and enjoy a dinner together.  My friend is a […]

I have always wanted to make ossobuco.  In fact, it’s on my short list of dishes that I hope to prepare sometime in my lifetime.  Traditionally made with veal shanks, it’s just not something that one can make on a whim, because the average home cook simply doesn’t have access […]

Andy and I had this great conversation the other night.  I was slicing up pizza for dinner- the second pizza dinner within four nights, and I apologized for the pizza.  It was homemade, but we’d just had it.  The thing with pizza is that once you buy a round of […]

Happy 2010 Tummy Treasure readers!  Here I sit, on the 5th of January, thinking that for once, I am not going to make any kind of foodie list for the year ahead.   I usually do.  I make a few food resolutions, and look back on last years and see how […]
