love this


we have had a bountiful supply of strawberries from our little patch this summer. i had made a strawberry shortcake for some friends and myself and we have eaten lots of them with whip cream, princess's favorite. lots have gone in the freezer for smoothies. but i recently read another mommy blog and she posted about her strawberries. there was a recipe for a strawberry pie that looked simple and frankly sounded yummy.
so in the midst of all my packing today (did i mention we are bound for yellowstone this week?) i decided to use the remaining berries for this pie. the kids were excited and when hubby came home from work and saw it chilling he seemed a little excited too. i had never made a strawberry pie so i wasn't sure what it would turn out like.
after dinner hubby mowed, we dealt with the back-up sewage in the basement, and sat down for some pie. mapboy loved it!! chloe who loves all things strawberry picked the berries and whip cream out and left the rest. but hubby - he took one bite and said, "this is good. it reminds me of azars/bigboy!" hmm...not sure if that was good or not i asked. he said most definitely. that in fact his family, who owned their own restaurant, would often go there just for the strawberry pie. i was feeling pretty good. then, he picked up the phone to call his mom to tell her he was eating a strawberry pie just like azars.
boy.....he scored some points tonight!!
and thinks friend, for posting the recipe. it is now a favorite at the back door!!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
