count them 1 by 1...

Being an avid pinner on pinterest, I am almost inspired on a daily basis! Sometimes I just wish I could stop life & recreate all the things I want to recreate! But I have to do things as time allows...Here's a little something I made! I plan on printing it out on some card-stock & framing it for the playroom..or playroom bathroom. You can too! Sorry I am not a savvy upload file, yada-yada-ya person, but you could just right click & save image as & print from home! Enjoy!!! And if you do print it out, put in a frame, & place it in your beautiful home, email me a pic & I'll post it in the blog! {outofthetiffanyblue@gmail.com}

putting the apron back on...

I don't know about you, but I tend to go in waves of wanting to cook all the time to "Honey can you just grab something on your way home!" It seems I get stuck in the rut of cooking the same ole same ole...pinterest & cookbooks aside, I still always seem to cook the usual, get bored with it all, & just opt for carry-out. But carry-out really does add up and let's be honest, it has to be the worst quality of food/ingredients. So I decided to start making a menu list every Sunday, then go through what I need for it all and make my store list. Then on Monday, Miss Busy A and I are off to the races, I mean store(s). 


That's the other reason I get discouraged on cooking...I can NOT buy everything we need at one store. Sure WalMart is convenient, and yes they claim they in fact have everything from tires, to candles, to a new iPad, & did you forget you were out of milk because they have that too, all while picking up a new pair of gym pants...but they do NOT have it all people, they just DON'T! I buy some things organic, that W-Mart doesn't carry, as well as Method cleaners, nor do they have Miss Busy A's baby food pouches, so I basically have to go to a)W-Mart b) Whole Food's & c) Target...not exactly my idea of fun for a 14mo. old! Note to Big Wig developers, put all 3 in ONE shopping center! I know not only myself, but many other wives & mommy's would GREATLY appreciate it!


Whewwww...you still with me? Sorry :D Back to putting the apron back on! I decided when making this weeks meals to bust out the old trusty BHG Cookbook (Celebrating the Promise) Edition. I flipped through searching for new, semi-easy, toddler AND hubby approved meals. I came across Ranch Pork Roast....now our family doesn't eat pork or beef, so I thought this one would work well with Chicken, and inspired me to make Creamy Ranch Chicken! As you can see I tweaked it a little, as well as made a couple of discoveries, 1)this could be an amazing soup and 2)would be amazing over baked potatoes!!! Hope you enjoy because I know we did!!!!

Until next blog...
