I think my favorite thing is the combination of the light blue, navy blue and yellow. I am totally changing the colors of my master bedroom now. And this is what I am basing it off of. Do you think I can pull it off in my tiny little bedroom?This week is a weird week. The Food budget is gone for the next two weeks, so we will be eating our of our food storage. My mom will also be in town with my brother and his friend, so I don't know what to expect. I am sure we will end up eating out with them a night or two. But here is the tentative plan.
This was a cake that I did a year ago for my sister's wedding. There were two parts of the cake; the guitar for my brother in law, and the water polo ball for my sister. I was very happy with the results, especially considering that it was a hectic week and I was literally finishing the cakes during the luncheon right before the wedding.

And there you have it... A perfectly sliced Watermelon...don't mind the piece that is missing :)
Some day's I really don't feel like cooking, but I am a mom and I can't starve my family. I have a couple of recipes on file that are quick and easy. This is one of them.
Then I drain my Clams. I don't like to bit into my clam chowder and get a big bite of chewiness, so I go ahead and let my cute daughter chop those clams a little smaller.
Once the water comes to a boil, wisk in the amount of mix that you need. Then add the clams and the potatoes so that they can soften while you simmer the soup for 15 min. Yeah, 15 minutes. The whole process takes about 20 min. Not too Shabby. And this is what you end up with.
You don't have to use bread bowls if you dont have them. If you would like an easy recipe, use Rhodes Rolls. That is what I did for these ones in the picture. I thawed the bread the quick way (cause when do I ever plan ahead), took it out of the oven from raising, placed it on a floured surface. Then I cut the Bread Loaf in Half for the big ones and into fourths for my children, Shaped them into round circles and placed them on a sprayed cookie sheet. Make sure you give them each their own space so that they don't touch each other. Brush the rolls with a beaten egg. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until double (30-40 min). Cook at 350 for 20 minutes.
