I had the chance to capture some home life memories for this fabulous family yesterday afternoon…..they wanted some keepsakes of what life in their home is like, so that is what we captured. Can I just say there is ALOT of positive energy in this fun family! Thanks for sticking with me with the challenges of the bright light! you guys were terrific. here is your sneak peek!
would you like to live forever? just one of the thought provoking topics that pops up in Table Topics our nightly dinner time diversion. I have to say, we have owned this game for a few years now, and played it sporadically ( I have a collection of the teen version, family and family gathering versions) but with the onset of the relentless winter weather, and the increase of family members eating at all different times and in all different parts of the house, I decided it was time to bring em all back to the table, and this little cube provided just the temptation. We have had more fun over the last several nights talking , laughing and learning more ( sometimes more than we wanted to know, ha!!) about each other. I strongly recommend picking one of these up…….and then….using them. You will be so glad you did.
10 inches on the ground, and possibly 6 to 8 more to come tomorrow……it was just magical today. The first of these were taken after about an hour and a half of very steady snowfall this afternoon, and the last, outside in the incredible quiet that befalls a neighborhood after a dumping of snow…..and after 10 pm. I was handholding them at a second or more, so there is a bit of blur…….but again, just magical

I have always loved COOK’S magazine. Not only do they always feature great recipes, but they explain why things do and don’t work. Years ago, when my youngest was showing such an interest in cooking, I started buying the year end issues, which were hard bound versions of the bi-monthly copies. Natalie has begun working her way through them, and last night, we were treated to an old Iowa classic, that was better than any I have ever taste. The pork “T”. She nailed it. Crispy on the outside, moist on the inside ( yeah, I sound like one of those old Shake n Bake commercials, I know)
But here…let’s let the images speak for themselves:

Oh and I can’t forget about the homemade potato salad she made! Yum!
so I’ll be doubling up on my run and cycling time very soon. Once again, we have a fabulous dessert in the house. Nat decided to embark on trying out a few of Tyler Florence’s recipes from one of her very favorite cookbooks, Stirring the Pot
We were spoiled with this delectable yet wonderfully light dessert, baked lime pudding, perfect for a hot summer day. And here is the photo proof:
And here is the recipe
Yield: 4 servings
Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2/3 cup superfine sugar
2 eggs, separated
2/3 cup reduced fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon lime zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Butter and lightly sugar 4 ramekins (approximately 6-ounce size). In a mixer, combine yolks, buttermilk, lime juice and lime zest and beat until well combined. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add sifted flour, sugar and salt until just combined. Beat egg whites with a whisk attachment until you get stiff peaks then combine the two mixtures by gently folding them together, a little at a time. Divide evenly amongst ramekins then bake in a water bath – set ramekins in a roasting tray and fill with water halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Bake in the oven for 60 minutes until the top springs back when gently pressed and the cakes have a nice light golden color. Allow to cool slightly, then carefully invert onto a plate.
