Guest Blogger

So my sisters in law Callie and Jessie started this meal project and blog. They are cooking the same meal 3 times a week and posting how it went, how different it was, and taster ratings. They invited me to join the challenge. I decided I didn't have much to lose so I accepted.

So to all my roommates, who never saw me cook anything more difficult than oatmeal for breakfast, here is evidence that I have progressed in my cooking... or evidence that nothing has changed. You be the judge!

The recipes so far have challenged my cooking experience and made me try new things. So if you are bored of trying to plan meals for your family or are looking for a challenge join us. Callie does a great job of posting the meals for the week on Sunday.

Here is a picture of the Butternut Squash Risotto that I made tonight:


Impressed? So was I! You can check out the blog

Goin' to Jackson



We took a little family trip this weekend to Jackson. It ended up being a lot of fun just hanging out together. The dynamics of our family right now (two little kids and only two adults) didn't allow us to hit the slopes but we still kept busy!

A picture with the antler arches is a must.

Hanging out in the condo before dinner.

We got to have dinner with Kellie and Layne. That is always a treat. We love that they live so close so we can see them every now and then. We were too busy catching up to document the outing with pictures.

Swimming in the Rec Center. This is what every town needs. Indoor kiddie pools, hot tubs, waterslides... need I say more. Luke loved the water slides the most.


We did go up to the slopes to see if we could go tubing... Luke was too short so we hung out for a bit watching others enjoy the sun and snow.


Luke liked playing around in the little snow castle that was built up there.


And Noah was just happy to be along for the ride.

It was a perfect way to spend our Valentine's weekend... with my 3 sweethearts.
