It was back to school this week for us in the Fuller home. Unlike most families who's kids go back to school giving parents a break, we homeschool so time in the kitchen becomes even more scarce! We like to make things as quick and easy as possible on busy school days and can be found turning to home made freezer meals or 20 min or less dinners.<br />

This after work stir fry is a favorite on our home. You can even prechop the meats and veggies days before for an even quicker meal prep on the day!<br />

Daddy F and I are obsessed with heat. I mean, we have competitions all the time to see who can eat hotter things. Habenero, Thai, even Ghost chiles....yep we are nuts. The hotter the better and we sit there and cry and sweat to our delight. Did I mention I am pretty sure we are also now poster children for peptic ulcer aggravation?<br />

Our family has lived in a lovely little home for about a year and a half now. The first few days we lived here we didnt have all of our furniture and were forced to venture out and find places to eat. The first night we happened into this little Thai restaurant and it was the best thing ever! We ended up eating there 3 nights in a row and for the last year have eaten there about once a week. They know all our kids names and know my "regular" order. Yeah, it's an addiction. Earlier this year we hit hard times in the Fuller home and our income was scarce so eating out was no longer an option. I begged the owner to give me the recipe and she finally obliged but would not tell me her secret ingredient. So to the best of my guessing, here is the recipe we have been using and loving the last 6 months to feed our habits!<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>2 tablespoons peanut oil </li>
<li>2 chicken breasts thinly sliced </li>
<li>2 garlic cloves, crushed </li>
<li>1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger </li>
<li>4 thai chiles thinly sliced (more or less for personal heat level)</li>
<li>1 medium onion thinly sliced </li>
<li>1/2 cup mushrooms thinly sliced </li>
<li>1 red bell pepper chopped</li>
<li>1 green bell pepper chopped </li>
<li> 1/4 cup dry roasted cashews</li>
<li>1 large carrot thinly sliced </li>
<li>1/4 cup oyster sauce </li>
<li>1 tablespoon soy sauce</li>
<li>1 tablespoon fish sauce </li>
<li>1/2 cup chicken stock </li>
</ul>
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
Heat half of oil in wok or large pan. Stir fry chicken in small batches until cooked and browned.<br />
Heat remaining oil in wok. stir fry vegetables until onion softens and mixture is fragrant (about 2 mins). Return chicken to wok with sauces and stock and cook until sauce slightly thickens. Serve over jasmine rice! For even more spice you can mix in hot oil by the teaspoon until the desired level of heat is achieved.<br />

Fuller Girls - 3 - Only Middle E was brave enough to try this dish. She started to chew and then spit it out screaming and crying and then wanted her drink. The 3 rating is mostly for the laugh we got as parents after she said "it's not too hot, I will like it". We recommend omitting any spice if you will be feeding this dish to children!<br />

Lucky the Dog - 0 - Although she sat and did her best at begging, I was not about to give her some and then endure the aftermath of doggie indigestion at 3 am. :/ <br />

</div>
It has been almost a year since my last post. I had a lot going on with family health issues, going back to school, and just being a mommy of 3 kids 5 and under! For my birthday a few weeks back, my friends independently all purchased me kitchen items. "We know how much you love to cook" they all said. I realized then that with my busy life I was lucky if I had been getting a wholesome home cooked meal on the table once a week. What happened to me? It used to be so important to me to cook at home for my family. And to have my 3 girls in the kitchen cooking with me, teaching them the importance of the family's bond around the table. <br />

"It doesn't have to be a 5 course meal." Daddy F said, "We enjoy the simple things you cook just as much as the extravagant". He is so kind to me. I know he loves me even though I drive him crazy with my need to be super organized and wanting everything to be oh so Stepford. (Notice I said <i>want</i>, trust me my home is far from perfect!)<br />

So back to the kitchen I have gone to create simple, whole foods meals for a busy mom's lifestyle. I am sure I am not alone in that boat! This is one of my favorite go to weekly dinners. I fount this great local olive farm that makes flavored oils and vinegars. I used blueberry, but you can use whatever flavor suits your palate! I just make the marinade in the morning and throw everything in a giant ziplock after breakfast and let it sit till dinner time. <br />
<br />
Ingreidents:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>1/2 cup balsamic vinegar </li>
<li>1/4 cup olive oil </li>
<li>1 tablespoon sugar</li>
<li>2 teaspoons salt </li>
<li>2 teaspoons ground black pepper</li>
<li>2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary </li>
<li>2 teaspoons garlic, minced </li>
<li>2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme </li>
<li>2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage </li>
<li>4 boneless skinless chicken breasts </li>
<li>3 cups baby carrots </li>
<li>4 cups red onions chopped in quarters </li>
<li>2 cups red bell pepper</li>
<li>2 cups chopped parsnips </li>
<li>2 cups chopped sweet potato </li>
<li>3 cups chopped asparagus </li>
<li>2 cups sliced mushrooms </li>
</ul>
Directions:<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 425F. <br />
<br />
In a bowl, mix vinegar, oil, sugar, salt, garlic, and herbs. In two smaller bowls or air tight bags place chicken in one and veggies in another and pour half of marinade in each. Marinate in fridge for at least 2 hours but no more than 8. Drain the marinade and place chicken and veggies on a roasting pan. Make sure to have veggies in one layer or they may not roast properly. Bake for 45 mins or until chicken is no longer pink. I like to take out the chicken and then turn the broiler on the veggies for the last few minutes to give it that extra crunch! <br />

For many in my hometown, tonight will be a night of last summer fun as the sun sets on back to school eve. The kids have all their school supplies organized in their bags and tomorrow's painstakingly picked outfit waiting to be admired by all their friends. Moms and Dads are full of mixed emotions of anxiousness, sadness, and complete glee that their little ones will soon be out of their hair for 40 hours a week.<br />
<br />
We are not like that family. We have chosen to homeschool. Tonight when my children go to bed tomorrow will be just another Monday filled with a love for learning. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to send my children to a public school. I question myself daily on if I am doing the right thing. But in the end my heart always knows the answer for us is yes.<br />
<br />
No matter what kind of school year you are looking forward to, the truth is you are busy. Summer is dwindling down and we as parents are expected to put back on our many hats and wear them not only well but remain looking good while doing so!<br />
<br />
One of my favorite ways to cut back time on busy weeknight meals is to plan meals in the same week that consist of the same ingredients. This week I decided to use chicken fajita meat. On Monday I cooked 6 chicken breasts on the grill with fajita seasonings and then divided them up into 3 sandwich bags in the fridge. From those I was able to make a couple family meals for dinner and prepare a chicken fajita salad for Daddy F to take to work!<br />

<br />
<br />
Meal 1: Chicken Fajita Enchiladas<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<ul>
<li>2 cooked chicken fajita breasts, shredded </li>
<li>2 tablespoons canola oil </li>
<li>1/2 cup onion, chopped</li>
<li>1 tablespoon garlic, minced</li>
<li>1 can (15 oz) your favorite enchilada sauce (or if you enjoy chipotle spice try my <a href="http://doggieatthedinnertable.blogspot.com/2012/01/chipotle-chicken-and-black-bean.html" target="_blank">homemade recipe found here</a>) reserve 3 tablespoons for the sauce</li>
<li>1 1/2 cups grated Mexican cheese blend</li>
<li>6 corn tortillas</li>
</ul>
Sauce:<br />
<ul>
<li> 3 tablespoons enchilada sauce</li>
<li>3/4 cup salsa verde</li>
<li>1/2 cup sour cream</li>
</ul>
Directions:<br />
Pre-heat oven to 350F. Heat oil in pan over medium heat. Add in chicken, onion, and garlic and cook until translucent and fragrant, about 3 mins being careful not to let garlic burn. Add in half of enchilada sauce and let simmer about 10 mins. While it is cooking grease an 8X8 baking dish. Pour a small amount of enchilada sauce into the bottom, just enough to cover. Add in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese to the chicken mixture. Warm tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds. Place about 1/4 cup of chicken mixture into the middle of each tortilla and roll up. Place seam side down into the dish. Pour any leftover chicken and enchilada sauce on top of enchiladas. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese over top and bake for 20 mins, until cheese is melted. <br />
<br />
For the sauce combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Mix well and heat through. Serve over cooked enchiladas.<br />

<span style="font-family: Chalkboard; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Our
family loves the savings and convenience of adding on the Disney Dining plan
when we head to The World. We always get the Deluxe Dining plan, which include
3 meals (seated or quick service) and two snacks per day. Most people spend
tons of time planning out where they are going to eat their meals and how they
can get the most out of their dining points but people sometimes tend to over
look the value in their snack credits. </span></div>

off, if you are planning to go to WDW during the Epcot Food and Wine Festival
you have just hit the snack credit jackpot! What we like to do is save up our
snacks and do a “journey around the world in 180 minuets” meal. In past years,
a vast majority of the yummy food finds at the festival booths have been
included in the eligible snack points. With most options still only counting as
1 snack point you can stuff yourself with 3-5 snack points and save one of your
meal points to go towards something extra fun like a dinner theatre meal! </span></div>

favorite picks!</span></div>

This is a dish I have been wanting to try for quite sometime but I always figured it would be really difficult so I kept buying the same old stuff in a can. Let me tell you. Not hard. Easy peasy. And it tastes so good and warms my heart to know that I now have another simple recipe that I can feed my family that is not full of all that icky preservative gunk! I made a big batch and put it into smaller freezer friendly containers to take out for a busy day.<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>1 lb of pinto or black beans (or mix it up for fun!)</li>
<li>1 onion chopped in large chunks</li>
<li>2 Serrano peppers seeded and roughly chopped (or leave the seeds in for more heat)</li>
<li>2 tablespoons chopped garlic</li>
<li>1 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>1 teaspoon black pepper </li>
<li>1 teaspoon cumin</li>
<li>7 cups chicken (or vegetable) broth</li>
</ul>
Directions:<br />
<br />
Place all ingredients into a slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or overnight. Once cooked mash up all the ingredients until you reach desired consistency.<br />

Welcome again to another addition of #sundaysupper! This week we are all bringing dishes with wine to the table. I have to admit, I am not a big wine drinker so I was a little in left field when we were given this task. But I had just visited a beautiful winery for a friend's birthday celebration last month out in the Texas Hill Country and had brought back some recommended wines for my mom who IS a big wine drinker. She loved the selection from the <a href="https://www.grapecreek.com/" target="_blank">Grape Creek Winery</a> so much that I signed her up for their wine club and she is excited to get her first shipment!<br />

Not knowing too much about wine I decided to try something classic and simple. I had a glass of their 2011 Grand Rouge and it was suprisingly sweet and fruity for a red wine. It has great undertones of blackberries and blueberries so I thought it would be the perfect wine to try in my sauce!<br />
<br />

If there IS one thing I know a lot about it is steak. Yum. I am pretty sure I could eat steak everyday of my life and die happily (of cardiac arrest probably, but happy none the less!) The creamy sauce made the perfect accompanyment to my delicious ribeye!<br />

“Cooking is like love; it should be entered into with abandon or not at all.”

This week the #SundaySupper group is helping to celebrate the life of a wonderful woman, chef, teacher, and to many, a dear friend. I remember as a child watching her cooking on tv and thinking how someday, I wanted to be able to cook like her. As I grew older my taste in cooking changed and although I don't tend to cook too many "classic" dishes like Julia, I can still appreciate her love for fresh ingredients and tried and true techniques. We all decided to try a dish of hers and for me this was an easy choice. My family loves pasta, my kids beg for broccoli (no I am not making this up) and I love anything with garlic in it! We did modify the recipe by one small thing, we used sweet Italian turkey sausage to cut back on some of the fat content.....hope that is not cheating!! ;) </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ingredients: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the Sauce:</div>
<ul class="ingredients">
<li class="ingredient">2 lbs. broccoli di rape</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/2 lb. sweet Italian sausage</li>
<li class="ingredient">5 tablespoons good olive oil</li>
<li class="ingredient">3 large cloves garlic crushed</li>
<li class="ingredient">Salt</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes</li>
<li class="ingredient">1 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)</li>
<li class="ingredient">1 cup or more excellent chicken stock</li>
</ul>
For the Pasta:<ul class="ingredients">
<li class="ingredient">6 quarts water</li>
<li class="ingredient">2 teaspoons salt</li>
<li class="ingredient">1 lb. orecchiette pasta</li>
</ul>
For Serving:<ul class="ingredients">
<li class="ingredient">1 ounce or more Pecorino Romano cheese grated</li>
<li class="ingredient">Special Equipment Suggested:</li>
<li class="ingredient">A 12-inch saute pan 3 inches deep, with tight-fitting cover</li>
<li class="ingredient">A tall stockpot holding at least 2 gallons with cover</li>
<li class="ingredient">A large warm platter or warm soup bowls or plates</li>
</ul>
Directions:<br />
<br />
<ol class="instructions">
<li><span class="txt">Preparing the Broccoli di
Rape: Wash and spin-dry the broccoli di rape and remove the large tough
leaves, leaving just tender leaves and flower buds. Cut off and discard
the lower part of the stems, leaving broccoli about 8 inches long. Peel
the stems by lifting strips from the stem end and drawing them up
toward the bud area.</span></li>
<li><span class="txt">Preparing the
Sauce: Peel the sausage, crumble it, and saute over moderately high heat
in a tablespoon of olive oil. In a moment or two, add the crushed
garlic and continue sauteing for another 2 to 3 minutes, until the
sausage is lightly browned. Drain out the fat in the pan, and add a
tablespoon of olive oil. Roughly line up the broccoli di rape and slice
into 4-inch lengths: add to the pan, tossing. Taste, and season lightly
with salt and pepper flakes. (At this point, you could start the pasta.)
Cover the broccoli pan and let steam for several minutes: when the
broccoli has wilted, stir in the butter, then the stock and bring to a
boil. Taste again for seasoning, and let cook uncovered for several
minutes more to reduce and concentrate the liquid. (At this point grate
the cheese.) Again taste and correct seasoning. Set aside until the
pasta is ready.</span></li>
<li><span class="txt">Boiling the Pasta: Heat
6 quarts of water in the stockpot, adding the salt, and timing so that
the water is at a full boil by the time the broccoli di rape goes into
the pan in the previous step. With the heat at its maximum, stir in the
pasta and cover the pan until the water is at a boil. Then set the cover
ajar and maintain at a moderate boil for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring and
checking on the progress now and then. After 9 minutes, start testing
by eating a piece. It should be just cooked through, but not quite as
tender as you would like because it will cook a little more with the
sauce. Drain at once, and proceed to the serving.</span></li>
<li><span class="txt">Serving
the Pasta: Reheat the broccoli di rape as soon as the pasta has cooked
and drained. Turn the hot pasta into the hot sauce and toss gently to
blend. Taste carefully for seasoning, and remove from heat. Sprinkle on
half of the freshly grated Romano cheese, and toss to blend. At once,
turn the pasta onto the hot platter or plates, sprinkle with the rest of
the Romano, and serve. </span></li>

<br />
When I first came across the #sundaysupper movement I was immediately intrigued. It was so lovely to find a group of people who still believed in the power of a family sitting down for dinner and sharing a meal. No TV, no video games, no texting in the middle of the main course. Supper is a time to regroup and focus on the family.<br />
<br />
Yeah, a lot of my friends think I am old fashioned. We are fairly conservative. We go to church together on Sundays, we have family "date night", I homeschool my kids. We spend a lot of time together as a family but to me there is something special about the time spent in the kitchen. My kids love to cook with me and with them being so young sometimes it is more of a headache than a help but I love knowing I am building in them a fondness of food and the care to make meals by hand that seems all but extinct in many households these days. We take pride in our creations and without even knowing it my children are building a bond of trust and admiration that will last through out their lives.<br />

<br />
Our topic this week was to discuss what #sundaysupper means to me. It encompasses so many things but I truly believe that this small daily act of sharing a meal with your family will grow our children into more competent, respectful, and socially aware adults. We have a long lasting tradition in our home that at least once a week we will make double the recipe we need for our family and freeze the extra half to give to a family in our community in need. I don't necessarily mean an impoverished family (although many times the families we help have fallen on hard times) but bringing help to a family of new parents, single parents, new neighbors, and other families who may find it temporarily difficult to have the time to cook a meal themselves. It is sad today how many people will go out of their way to donate to reputable charities that send aid to other countries when they couldn't even tell you the first names of their next door neighbors. 50 years ago these were the people you depended on in an emergency, the women you swapped recipes with, the men who helped you carry in your groceries when you had 3 small kids in tow, the children who would come play in your yard and drink your lemonade. I know, again, many say I live in a dream world, but why should it be? How easy is it to reach out and help your neighbors in need? You never know who or what is going on behind closed doors and perhaps that is what people are so afraid of (too much Desperate housewives on tv! haha) but the simple act of saying hello or bringing someone some extra bread you made can make a world of difference in someone's life. Food speaks to everyone, it is a universal language because it is something we all need to survive. Another is companionship.<br />

I have found a great resource for freezer meals is over at <a href="http://onceamonthmom.com/" target="_blank">Once a Month Mom</a>. Now you don't have to make EVERY recipe she has for the month if you don't want to but she has a great template to know how much extra to make for an extra family. You could even quadruple the recipe and give the same dish to a few different neighbors. It comes with the recipe, shopping lists, and labels with directions for heating up from frozen! I love seeing my neighbors who are now my friends faces light up when they see us coming with some goodies for them! And the joy it brings my children to give someone something they made that they know with bring them happiness is a priceless reward for my heart. I encourage you all to look around to those closest to you and bring a hand delivered meal to them with a message of friendship and watch the love in your community blossom!<br />

Looking for something your kids will not only not complain about but absolutely love?? We generally try to eat fresh and healthy in our home which surprisingly my kids don't seem to have a problem with but every now and then they need a special kid specific treat (and so do you!).<br />
<br />
I got this idea from my #sundaysupper team mate over at <a href="http://www.inthekitchenwithkp.com/family-fun/mini-corn-dog-muffins-kids-in-the-kitchen-sundaysupper" target="_blank">In the Kitchen with KP</a>. Her recipe was for corn dog muffins but who doesn't love a chilli dog?? We mixed in some no bean chilli into our cornbread mix and substituted cheese dogs. Yeah...... don't count the calories!! Just close your eyes and enjoy! <br />

Once again this week we are getting the chance to work with Katie Workman and her new cookbook "The Mom 100". The #sundaysupper crew were all asked to pick from a list of her recipes and recreate it adding our own twists. When I saw this recipe I knew it would be a hit in our home - we love pasta. This dish, like many featured in her book, are kid friendly, healthy, and quick to make. We chose to change it up a bit by mixing in ricotta along with our mozzarella for a more creamy texture!<br />
<br />

It has been a busy busy this last week in our home! We have celebrated 2 birthdays (Little E's and mine!) and I have been on the phone almost everyday with Disney booking reservations for clients since the 2013 rates just came out! The last thing I have felt like doing at the end of the day was cooking something fancy. I wanted to be off my feet and eating ASAP!<br />
<br />
These Thai Chicken Lettuce wraps are always a favorite with the family and are a great choice if you are on a low carb diet!<br />

Welcome again to #SundaySupper! I am really enjoying my time with these amazing bloggers. It is such a great opportunity to get the word out on how important it really is to take the time to sit down with your family and share a meal. We are blessed to eat dinner together every night of the week (unless of course the rare date night occurs!). Of course, my kids are only 5, 2, and 3 months so they have no real social live of their own yet. I am hoping that by starting them out young turning off the tv and sitting down to share stories of our day together that they will still want to do the same when they are teens. Haha - here's to hoping!<br />
<br />
This weeks theme is "Beat the Heat" and I know ALL to well here in central Texas that the heat can certainly be a challenge. With temps commonly being in the 100s for 3 straight months I DO NOT want to be in the kitchen all day with the oven on! I would be happy have 3 meals a day of ice cream but my thighs and my children's dentist would disagree.<br />
<br />
This is a recipe for an old family favorite that used to only get busted out at holidays. I don't understand that mentality as an adult. If it' something you love you should make it more often - especially when it is so super easy! <br />

Welcome to week two of Canning 101! Did you get a chance to make some spicy pickles? We gave a bunch to friends as gifts and then ate all the rest. Now I am craving some more!<br />
<br />
This week I thought I would try my hand at some marmalade. This is one recipe I remember my grandmother making when I was young. It was something I was terrified to try for fear I would mess it up. Luckily, it wasn't that difficult. In fact, the most difficult part was the clean up. Make sure you clean as you go because this stuff gets sticky - and it gets EVERYWHERE!! At least when I am making it!<br />

This week for #SundaySupper the theme was "cooking with your kids". Well that seemed like a no brainer for me. I have trouble finding time to cook without my kids! When I asked my 2 year old what we should cook she of course said "CHEESE!!" which translates to Mac and Cheese which she won't eat unless it is Kraft (something I am working on fixing!). Ask my 5 year old - pancakes. I said, "We make pancakes at least 3 days out of the week, what's something else we can try?" "How about French Toast Sticks? The kind you can dip in syrup!". She had a good idea. But I wanted the kind like you can get at those fancy places, you know, like IHOP. They are soft and sweet with a little bit of crunch on the outside. I thought what if I breaded them in breadcrumbs and deep fried them? Silly right? Breading a piece of bread. No. No it wasn't. It was delicious.<br />

It is hot here in Texas in the summer. I find myself wanting to do nothing but wade in the pool and keep my fingers crossed that the temp may dip below 100. And today it is REALLY humid too. And although I may like my food spicy and hot, my kitchen, not so much! Grill and crockpot cooking are essential this time of year for keeping a comfortable home. This is a spin on a classic recipe in our house. The recipe creates a mild heat on the chicken. You can take out some chicken after adding the ranch before the hot sauce for small children or slop on some extra hot sauce on your sliders like Daddy F and I like to do!<br />

Ingredients:<br />
<ul>
<li>2 large chicken breasts</li>
<li>'chicken stock to cover (about 2 cups)</li>
<li>1 teaspoon black peppercorns</li>
<li>1 cup of ranch dressing</li>
<li>3 Tablespoons buffalo sauce (we used Franks)</li>
<li>2 packages King's Hawaiian sub rolls </li>
<li> lettuce and tomato for dressing sliders</li>
</ul>
Place chicken in crock pot and add enough chicken stock to cover. Add in peppercorns and cook on high for 4 hours. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and shred. Discard remaining stock in crockpot. Place shredded chicken back in crock and add in ranch and buffalo sauce. Let cook another 30 mins on low. Meanwhile, butter the tops of the rolls and place them butter side up on a cookie sheet. Broil in oven until toasted. To assemble sliders, cut each sub in half and top with chicken, tomato, and lettuce. Yum!<br />

Can I just say that my house smelled so amazing when I was making this?!? Well, I guess I just did. I don't know why, but I have always wanted to make this. Perhaps not always, maybe just since I saw cute little Remy making it in Disney Pixar's Ratatouille. Either way, I was in the grocery store the other day and these little guys were calling my name.<br />

I couldn't resist. I had to buy them cause I just wanted to squish their cute little baby eggplant cheeks! And I had everything else I needed in my garden! I love being able to go out and pick fresh what I am going to eat for dinner.<br />

I am not sure how people normally eat this dish, maybe as a side dish? We chose to eat it over pasta! It was now an absolutely delicious chunky pasta sauce!<br />

<br />
Hello! And welcome to the first week of Canning 101! Let me start by saying I am NOT a canning professional. In fact, I only started canning myself a few months back. But that is what inspired me to start this series. You see, I know there are a TON of women out there just like me who<i> want</i> to start canning but are afraid that it is too complicated. Let me tell you, if I can do it, so can you!<br />
<br />
As I have mentioned before, my grandmother taught me a lot about cooking. She bred in me a love for food and the notion that taking the time to prepare a home cooked meal for your family was a top way to show them just how much you care. Shortly before my grandmother passed she had given us a bunch of sticky notes and told us to go around the house and put our name on whatever we wanted to claim after she was gone (morbid I know). There were only two things I cared to mark - my great grandmother's china and my grandmother's cookbooks.<br />
<br />
There have been so many wonderful recipes that I have come across over the years since she has passed each one written by my grandmother's hand. In 2011 it was our family's New Year's resolution to try and start eating more fresh. Cutting out unneeded preservatives and chemicals from our diet (notice I did not say low fat!). One of the things I wanted to try doing more of was growing a garden and canning. Not only does it cut out the unwanted junk but it can also save you a heck of a lot of money! Imagine my surprise and pure joy when, a couple months ago while thumbing through the cookbooks, I found a hand bound book of only about 15 pages all written in my great great grandmother's hand. It was a sign to me that now was as good a time as ever to start trying out some recipes and stocking my food storage! <br />

For week one I though I would start with something easy. I have seriously had an over growth of peppers and cucumbers in the garden this year so first thought - Spicy Pickles!!<br />

<br />
I have been buying pickles from a local farmer's market for the past couple years and every time I do I always think - I bet I could make these myself! It was much easier than I thought and you don't even have to boil them to seal them (unless you plan on shelving them for an extended period of time). These babies can stay in your fridge for up to 6 months!<br />

<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>6 pickling cucumbers</li>
<li>4 jalapenos</li>
<li>3 cups white vinegar</li>
<li>1 cup apple cider vinegar</li>
<li>2 cups water</li>
<li>1/2 cup sugar</li>
<li>1/2 cup sea salt</li>
<li>1 tablespoon pickling spice</li>
<li>1 teaspoon dill weed </li>
<li>1 bulb of garlic, chopped into chunks</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorn per jar</li>
<li>1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper per jar</li>
</ul>
<br />
Directions:<br />
<br />
Chop cucumbers and jalapenos into desired pickle thickness. In a large pot over medium heat mix vinegars, water, sugar and salt until dissolved. In a cheesecloth wrap the dill and pickling spices and drop into water and bring to a boil. (If you don't have cheesecloth you can put it directly into the brine you will just have to pour it through a strainer before you add it to your jars)<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, drop chunks of garlic (3-4 chunks for a half pint) and peppers into jar. Top with the slices of cucumbers and jalapenos. Once brine is ready pour in jars to cover cucumbers leave 1/4 inch head room. Tighten on lids and place immediately into refrigerator while still hot. Lids will seal themselves from the pressure. Don't open them for at least 2 weeks and then enjoy your yummy pickles!<br />

I am so excited for our first week to be participating in #SundaySupper! For those of you who are not familiar with it, #SundaySupper is a group of great foodie bloggers who are banding together to try and bring back the idea of family meals together at the dinner table. This is right up our alley as that is one of the most important things Daddy F and I feel we can provide our children - a time when we can all come together everyday as a family and "break bread" and share of our daily activities.<br />
<br />
Every week has a theme and in observation of the 4th of July this week we are all talking what you can bring to your family picnic. Here in Texas picnic = BBQ and really no BBQ is complete without some brisket!<br />
<br />
Can you believe I once lived in an area where the people didn't know what a brisket was!?! They thought it was like a pot roast!! FOR SHAME!! Dang Yankees (I can say this as I was born near Chicago and the majority of my family are still northerners. But I moved here when I was 5 so really, I am Texan through and through.)!!<br />

One of the most important things in smoking is making sure you have the right wood and you are cooking low and slow. We use hickory and mesquite chips and just throw them in with the charcoal into your smoker. Try to keep your grill temp between 200-220F. <br />
<br />
Mix dry seasonings. Slice fat side of brisket down to meat about every inch. Rub brisket liberally with seasonings and place brisket fat side up on a giant sheet of foil or in a roasting pan.<br />
<br />
Place brisket on foil onto your smoker/grill (if you do not have a smoker on your grill make sure you are using indirect heat. If you have a gas grill you can place another disposable aluminum pan with the wood chips and a bit of water over the heat to create the smoke flavor). Cook brisket for 8 - 10 hours, brushing with mop sauce every hour.<br />
<br />
When brisket it finished you can just slice it and serve it as is with some BBQ sauce. You can roll it up in a tortilla and make tacos. Or you can chop it and mix it with some sauce for sandwiches. Either way this stuff will disappear in the blink of an eye!<br />

My husband and I were fortunate enough to check out this restaraunt when it first opened in 2008. Daddy F was a bit excited as he had a slight obsession with Dinosaurs growing up. Let me say straight up, this place did not dissapoint!<br />

T-REX is owned by Landry's, the same super chain that owns Rainforest Cafe, and it has a similar ambiance. Dim lighting with eye catching light shows and amazing animatronics are sure to make for an eventful meal.<br />

When you first walk in the door you are greeted by a giant roaring T-Rex. The bar area is engulfed by a giant octopus (with moving tentacles!) and many glowing jellyfish that seem to be floating in air.<br />

There are several different rooms that you can be seated in all with their own theme. The Ice Room is a favorite with many families as it glows blue and changes different colors during the "meteor shower" every 30 mins. <br />

All in all I would say this is a great experience. It may not be the best for young children. I haven't taken my little ones yet but I know they were afraid the last time we went to Rainforest Cafe. I can tell you that this place is VERY popular so advanced reservations are highly recommended. Although it is offered on the dining plan (1 table service point) you will have to call the restaurant directly to get your reservations - (407) 828-TREX (8739).<br />

Pasta is one of our family's favorite dishes. Maybe you get sick of seeing all the pasta recipes. I'm telling you, I can't help it. I seriously am feeling this desire to pack my family up and move to Italy. Don't be surprised when it happens. </div>

I once ate dinner with a friend and she made what she called "Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna". It was yummy. So I thought I would try to give this idea a try. It was a hit with the whole family! </div>

I miss my grandmother. She was such a strong, beautiful, amazing woman. She taught me so much about so many different aspects of life but I am so grateful for the time she took to teach me how to cook. I have so many treasured memories of sitting in her kitchen tasting all the wonderful things she was making. She always liked to make a strawberry rhubarb pie in the summertime. I decided at a recent get together with friends to give her traditional pie a makeover and made single serving tarts. I think it turned out fabulous, of course I could be biased! Enjoy the pictures a la my new Instagram obsession, these were shot in "earlybird".<br />

Ingredients:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pie Crust </div>
<ul>
<li class="ingredient">12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
</li>
<li class="ingredient">3 cups all-purpose flour
</li>
<li class="ingredient">1 teaspoon kosher salt
</li>
<li class="ingredient">1 tablespoon sugar
</li>
<li class="ingredient">1/3 cup very cold vegetable shortening
</li>
<li class="ingredient">6 to 8 tablespoons (about 1/2 cup) ice water</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Filling: </div>
<ul>
<li>2 cups sliced strawberries</li>
<li>2 cups chopped rhubarb</li>
<li>1 cup sugar</li>
<li>3 tablespoons cornstarch </li>
<li>1/2 teaspoon lemon zest</li>
<li>juice of one lemon</li>
<li>1/2 teaspoon cinnamon</li>
<li>1 teaspoon vanilla </li>
</ul>
Crumble Topping:<br />
<ul>
<li>1/2 cup flour</li>
<li>1/4 sugar</li>
<li>1/2 brown sugar</li>
<li>1/2 cup cold unsalted butter</li>
</ul>
Directions:<br />
<br />
Preheat oven to 400F. <br />
<br />
Pie Crust:<br />
<br />
Dice the butter and return it to the refrigerator while you prepare the
flour mixture. Place the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food
processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to mix. Add
the butter and shortening. Pulse 8 to 12 times, until the butter is the
size of peas. With the machine running, pour the ice water down the feed
tube and pulse the machine until the dough begins to form a ball. Dump
out on a floured board and roll into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and
refrigerate for 30 minutes. Separate dough into 4 balls. Grease tart dishes and press dough with your fingers until even across bottom and sides.<br />
<br />
Filling:<br />
<br />
In a large bowl, mix strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, and cornstarch until a thick syrup forms. Stir in lemon zezt, lemon juice, cinnamon and vanilla. Pour equally into crust lined tart dishes.<br />
<br />
Crumble Topping:<br />
<br />
Mix flour and sugars. Cut butter into mixture until crumbs form. Sprinkle crumbs on top of tarts.<br />
<br />
Bake for 50 mins or until tart begins to bubble and top starts to brown.<br />

Okay folks, brace yourself. I finally downloaded Instagram on my phone and I have been going a little wild with taking pictures of anything and everything I can find. So you will just have to deal with all my photo filtered pictures at least for the next few weeks until I get bored of it! haha<br />
<br />
I have been trying to come up with some more "healthy" breakfast options as my kids seems to want to eat pancakes and donuts everyday ( I can't blame them, donuts are WAY tastier than oatmeal!). This came out even better than I expected. The bananas give it a taste almost like banana bread and the pralines offer the perfect sweet crunch!<br />

Spray the inside of a baking dish (8x8 inch or similar size) with non-stick spray. Pour in the oat mixture. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes or until the center is solid and the edges are slightly golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy! </span><br />

Daddy F: 8 - I really enjoyed how moist it was. Somewhere between oatmeal and a cake. I even cut it up and took it to work to snack on!<br />

Welcome again to our Slow Cooker Sunday Linky Party!! I love me some slow cooked BBQ ribs on the grill this time of year but sometimes it makes me nervous to leave the gas going outside, especially if I am not going to be home! This is a great and easy alternative to grilling and you don't even have to worry about heating up the kitchen! I like to double the sauce recipe when I make these so I have some on hand for future use!<br />
