I've been baking again

This time, it's another cheesecake creation. These are cheesecake pops, from the cookbook "Sticky, Chewy, Messy, Gooey: Desserts for the Serious Sweet Tooth" by Jill O'Connor.

I do, surprisingly, have lots of these left from yesterday if anyone wants to try 'em!

mmm cupcakes

These are Snickerdoodle cupcakes from the dessert cookbook "desserts that have killed better men than me" by Jeremy Jackson. I don't normally like sweets but have a soft spot for snickerdoodle cookies, so I couldn't pass up trying to make these.

quick and easy meal

Both of my kids loved this (I opted NOT to tell them that there was salad dressing in the recipe - neither of them like it) and it took no time at all to make!

Chicken Caesar Pasta

8 ounces dried pasta (your choice of shape)
1 cup diced, cooked chicken (seasoned to taste)
1 cup or more shredded Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing
salt and pepper to taste

Cook and drain pasta according to package directions and return to the pasta to the pot.

To the pasta, add chicken, 1 cup of the Parmesan cheese, the salad dressing, salt and pepper; toss to combine.

Serve warm. Sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese (optional).

Introducing....

George Clooney! He was named by the Connor (the piggy's original name was "chupcake" - I don't know why, lol) when I told him we needed something a little more masculine.



So far he gets along with the other boys pretty well. There is definitely some asserting of dominance between the baby and GC, but other than that, no scuffles.

I love his crazy hair and he's a feisty one, for sure!

This is my lazy dog.

This is my lazy dog who was too lazy to go to the front door and bark at the mailman.

This is my lazy dog who was too lazy to go to the front door and bark at the mailman and barked at him from his sunny patch in the dining room all the way at the back of the house.

Enjoy him as much as I do!
