Feeding Boys

Can I ask, what kind of food budget do you have? We have a budget but honestly with growing boys I do not stick to it. 

This little boy did not want to eat much dinner last night but ate his hot dog and then ate daddies hot dog even thought it was covered in toppings.

By the way I have said it before and will say it again, I love feeding my family at SAMs club.

2 Ingredient Fudge

I have to admit that I kind of have a addiction. Every time I walk into a store and they have flavored frosting I have to buy one or maybe 10.

I did not realize how much I had until I organized our pantry..

So what do you do with all this yummy frosting. You make FUDGE. And yes I meant to scream that. 

To make fudge:

1 melt one bag of white chocolate chips 

2 mix in one can of frosting 

3 spread into a pan and you are done

It will set up in about a hour

I also like to mix one can of frosting with a small jar of peanut butter. YUMM 

This is a great gift idea without the fear of it not setting up.

Happy Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving was different. It was not full of family or friends. 

We did not cook anything the day before or make home made pies. I woke up really sad and feeling lonely. Then I decided that I am choosing to be grateful. 

I decided to enjoy the day and spend time with the kids and my amazing husband who is home. We folded laundry while we watched the parade. We ate dinner and napped while some worked outside. 

Poor Jacob was so tired he fell asleep before we even ate dinner. I don't mind because after lunch I took time to snuggle him and love on him. 

So the day may not have started the way I wanted but it is ending the way it should be. With all of my children together and everyone healthy. For that I am grateful.

Graduating

This little stinker has graduated. He has graduated to a Sunday school class. I do not remember giving him permission to grow up so fast. 

I guess I could just put a brick on his head. I won't lie it has been nice watching him play with toys and be more independent.

Potato Candy

Potato candy, it was my best seller at the last vendors fair. I will admit I did not call it potato candy until they tasted it. 

What is potato candy? Potato candy taste like a white Reese cup. 

Mix 1/4  homemade mash potato with 6-8 cups powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Use enough powdered sugar to make a soft dough. 

Next roll out the dough ( like a cinnamon roll). Cover in peanut butter and roll up into a log. 

Put log or in my case logs in the fridge until ready to use. Slice and serve. Yummy, it literally melts in your mouth.
