Today, So Far...

By -
It's been a LONG day already and we are doing well for making up for my 3 Day Migraine
(and lack of activity....)
We got up before the crack of dawn, packed cocoa and went to Cannery Square to
join the ground hog hoopla!
Here is a very cold Miss Sarah with Quinn from her dance class...
We couldn't find any of our Daisy Troop in the crowd. (sniff)
According to the Mayor (he speaks Groundhogese) -- Jimmy said "early spring: !! 
We hit Copps quickly and spent less than $10 (more on that in a bit)
Then it was off to Home Depot for the Valentine's Box Workshop! 
They have kits for all the kids and everything you need:
Sandpaper, hammer, glue, instructions and safety glasses! 
There is even a table set up with stuff for painting the complete projects!
She LOVES it!
See how she shows off her new pin and certificate?
The Apron is free the first time you come -- they put your name on it!
This time, they also got a valentine and a sucker.
If you don't think many people come to this -
think again.
The trick is to be there by 9:00 AM to make sure they don't run out of kits!
(It has happened)
Back into a cold car...
you can see that all the ice hasn't come off my windshield yet!
It's a "high" of 7 degrees.
(brrr...)
Where were we going?
To see Madagascar 3 at the Eastgate Cinema for $2.00
We DID get a $2 soda and popcorn -- so that is $4 out of our food budget this month!
It warmed up to 8 whole degrees while we were inside.
Now her sliding door on my van is no longer frozen shut, LOL!
 
We came home to a play date with her BFF...
Later comes dinner out (using a gift card) with Daddy.
 
How is your weekend turning out?

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking! Today's recipe idea comes from Book Cooking. net Ingredients 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup butter, softened 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar 2 egg yolks 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Chili Dog Casserole

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
