Summer Break.

I'm still here. I'm sorry for the absence. I won't be around for much this summer (LOTS of new things happening) so if you could bear with me while a take a break, I would love that. For those of you who decide to stick around...thank you so much! Not blogging for the summer doesn't mean I won't be popping in occasionaly to update you guys.

This is the kind of face you get when playing Catch Phrase...nice Andrew.
Katherine I love your earrings. I love how they match your shirt. The tongue thing, yes I love that too.

Fish lips are the latest thing...that is what I heard anyway...my friend Joss and me at Disneyland.

I'm Staying.

Thank you. Wow. For all your sweet comments. I've decided that I will continue to blog. I know I would miss it and after your comments I don't think I can stop blogging!

Look for a new food post tomorrow....we finally got to go to Disneyland when we were in California. AH-mazing. The Indiana Jones ride is my absolute favorite. Here is my sisters and I (L to R: Anna, Lisa, Me) in front of the castle. Have a great Thursday!

Thinking Of Closing My Blog.

Hi everyone! I'm back. I had a blast in California.

Upon arriving back from Cali, I was thinking about possibly no longer blogging. Closing my blog down. While I love blogging, sometimes it gets a bit much....and this season of life has me busier than ever.
So, I am either thinking of shutting it down for good, taking another month off, or continuing to blog 3 times a week.

Before I make my decision, what do my readers think? Sometimes from the lack of comments, I think not many people read my blog. And, for those of you who comment often...thank you!

Vacation From Blogging.

Hi Blog Readers. I've decided that I'm going to be taking a break from blogging until I get back from my vacation. Life is pretty busy right now and I need a break. Between graduations, softball games, birthdays, flying to California, getting ready to leave for a week, I don't have that much time to be in the kitchen right now. I think I could use a short break too.

So, I hope you guys understand and I'll see you June 3rd with some tasty recipes and pictures from Cali!

My blog is also acting up, will be getting it fixed pretty soon.

Cake Mix Winner And I'm Boring You.

Good Monday morning everyone! I think weekends need to be much longer. Much longer. But on second thought maybe they wouldn't be as sweet. I love you Saturday and Sunday. Don't ever leave me. Thank you.

Thank you to all of you who made it in my Naturally Nora contest. I enjoyed reading your cake mix preferences! Chocolate edged everything else out by far. A big congrats to the winner picked by random.org:

Some of you were asking where you can purchase Nora's cake mixes at. You can find them available here.

And, since I was too busy all weekend to be creative and create something up, I am going to bore you all with more pictures of my friend's senior session. Thank you for letting me bore you.

Have a good one and I will have a recipe post very soon! I am looking forward to a Cubs game tonight....beat them D'backs!

Baseball Season Has Sprung.

Good Saturday night!
Baseball/Softball season is in full swing here. One of the many advantages of having 8 members in a family is you practically have a baseball team right there. After school, many of us will head out to the field and get some practice in. We are going to need lots with our church's softball league starting soon. My oldest brother can crank balls out of the field/diamond like nothing....which leaves me thinking I am so glad I am not the ball.

Have a great remaining weekend and I'll have a diet-damager brownie recipe post soon! And, this is up to you. Would you guys care to see some more of my friend's senior pictures?

My First Photography Session.

I love photography. I love snapping pictures of people. I love capturing people smiling. Laughing. Being Serious. Their mood.
I had my first oppertunity to have a photo shoot last Saturday. My friend Katie needed her Senior pictures taken, and I offered to take them. I shot her pictures at a gorgeous park and downtown. The day couldn't have been any nicer. And it always is helpful when your model is beautiful.

My buddy Morgan ran this photo thru PhotoShop, isn't this stunning?

2 of my buddies and I are having our graduation party together. Here is a sneak preview of some graduation invatation pictures......

My Readers.

I have some pretty cute readers. Oh yes I do. The notes some of you guys sent along with the photo were so nice to get, thank you thank you! One of the greatest things to hear from my readers is that you enjoy my blog. You guys also have some pretty cute husbands, kids, friends, or siblings. This contest was the best one to date.

Have a fantastic weekend guys and I'll see you with a post about the baking/cooking I have done that went terrible with pictures! I do have some pretty rough days in the kitchen!

(I am excited that I can still get piggy-back rides from my brother...)

Ouch!

Hi everyone. Hope your week has been treating you well. Monday was a rough day for me, I smashed my right hand pretty bad. I was closing a door and the wind (which was blowing really hard that day) shut the door on my hand. I've never felt such pain before and hopefully will never smash my hand like this again. So, currently I am not able to use my right hand except for my thumb. Which means baking/cooking is on hold for a little while. I wish I knew how to bake with 6 fingers. But, that doesn't mean I am going to stop blogging....no way. I am going to be having some guest bloggers posting for me for some fabulous food recipes. And, there will be some giveaways coming up. There is also something new coming to my blog, so stay tuned.
Thanks for understanding, I wish I could still be posting food recipes for you amazing readers!

A Tangy Tuna Sandwich & The Candy Winner.

Good Thursday morning everyone! Almost the weekend...yeah. We had been having balmy 40 degree weather but the past few days have been back to the freezing cold weather. Saturday it is supposed to be 50 degrees, I can hardly wait. I am glad to know that the majority days of those frigid temperatures are behind us once January passed.

Okay, onto the candy winner. I enjoyed reading each of your favorites...a lot of you guys like Skor bars and believe it or not I have never heard of those. So, am now on the look-out for them to try them. There are so many different kinds of good candies that is seriously sometimes hard to pick one (I also love Snickers).

Here is the winner:

Congrats Kellie! Please e-mail me at priscilla91@iowatelecom.net so I can get you your prize out to you!

What is your favorite candy? See here.

These bunwiches. Yum. Tuna on a crescent roll doesn't get any better. I am not a huge fan of tuna but dressed up with relish, ketchup, lemon juice, cheese, and more makes this taste delicious. The Crescent roll adds a whole new flavor to a tuna sandwich.

Tangy Tuna Bunwiches

Ingredients:
4 cans (6 ounces) tuna, drained and flaked
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon relish

3/4 cup cheese, grated
1 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 crescent buns, split
4 lettuce leaves

4 slices of cheese

DIRECTIONS:
In a bowl, combine the tuna, mayonnaise, ketchup, lemon juice, relish, cheese, and Worcestershire sauce. Serve on buns with lettuce. Yield: 4 servings.

I'm sure you guys have heard me mention my friend Joss....Jocelyn is my friend that I have known for the longest time and we have much in common...my little sister says we agree too much on everything (not sure if that is possible). Anyway, Joss had to write a commercial for her speech class, and I wanted to share it with my readers - I love it.
