I went searching for photos of my girls helping bake in the kitchen and found these fun photos baking cookies just before Valentine’s Day this year. Journaling reads: We decided to make cookie mixes in a jar for Jessica and Janette’s teachers for Valentine’s Day this year. I chose a recipe that used M&Ms, so we could use festive pink and red ones. Of course, we had to test out the recipe first. Jessica and Janette love to help measure ingredients and stir. They patiently watched as the cookies baked in the oven.

With my computer down until this past Sunday, I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to play with it. However, I had time to create this yummy layout about the pies I made for Thanksgiving last year. Journaling reads: Today, I made two pies to take home to Midland for Thanksgiving: a Southern Sweet Potato Pie for something new to try and a traditional pecan pie.

Plan On It

Posted on by

So excited, I’m guesting for Connie Prince again this month. Yesterday, was the release of the Gingerscraps Buffet. You can see the entire Buffet collection on Ginger Scraps here: tr.im/bkoez

I was inspired by the word strip that read “today’s menu” and knew I had to find some food related pictures. Initially, I looked at some Christmas pictures from 2008, but the colors just didn’t work and I switched to a Thanksgiving layout. If that pie looks appealing, here’s the recipe: Cran-Apple Pie. Journaling reads: Jason and Sarah both planned to attend the UT/A&M football game in Austin on Friday, so it would have been a very short holiday in Midland for them. James and I offered to host Thanksgiving at our apartment. Mom, Dad, and Sarah stayed at our apartment for the extended weekend. Jason’s friend Grant joined us too for our big Thanksgiving meal served as a late lunch. I made a cran-apple pie and homemade cranberry sauce in advance. We also had turkey, a garden salad with almonds and oranges, and green bean casserole.2015-11-01_LO_Thanksgiving
