There are few things as lovely as lunch in the park. Today I challenge you to take your brown bag lunch, or pick up a sub, and head to the nearest park on your lunch break. Sit in the grass, or on a bench, or at a table. Enjoy the time outdoors. Get out of a building, and enjoy what God created for you and what your tax dollars go towards maintaining.
Do it, then come back here and tell me how it went.

I shall call you [Josh is working late so I get to eat] Popcorn.
And you shall be my dinner
And you shall be my new personal low.
Sometimes, when I have no one to cook for, I just don’t even try.

You pick the proportions you want: onions, carrots, worcestershire, pepper, and big ole’ slab of beef. Crock pot it up on low for at least 8 hours, maybe 10. Serve over potatoes if you know what’s good!

If I could do this all again [and I will] I would put the meat on the bottom and cook it for a few hours before I added the onions and carrots, they were a little over cooked and soft for my preference.

Josh is making some kind of intricate cupcakes that involve a bunch of butter fingers and I’m fan girling him while he’s in the kitchen.
Swoon!

I think French Onion Soup sounds like a hard thing to make, but in reality, once you have the few steps memorized, you could do this in your sleep and trust me, it’s so worth the end result. You can do it, here’s how:
pick up six onions. here we have 2 white, 2 yellow, one sweet, and one red onion
chop chop chop. i like to halve twice, then slice.
melt a whole stick of butter over medium heat
onions!

add all the onions and start cooking down [add a lid]
yummy. i like to add some s+p & some worcestershire sauce at this point
![add all these together in a big stock pot and turn on low [just one bay leaf will do] and about one of the small cans of water to the mix.](http://adoramae.com/wp-content/uploads/photo-3-11.jpg)

toast some french bread slices on high broil
spoon your soup into an oven safe bowl
add bread
add cheese
back under the broil
er.mer.gersh! enjoy!
This is seriously the best soup you’ll ever taste and this is enough to make maybe a dozen bowls. Make it for someone you like, because after they have this, they’re going to like you a WHOLE lot. Let me know how it turns out!

Sometimes all you really need is a horribly unhealthy breakfast, a big mug of coffee and a great book. Sometime that’s enough to completely change your outlook.

This is how we did the fourth of July up right. Crappy iPhone shots of an impromptu party that didn’t get planned until half way through the day!

A trip to my sisters house is a trip to an allergy mind field. My oldest Niece, Lilly is allergic to almost everything, Avery is to some things, and the jury is still out on Weston. My champion sister has tried every possible combination of items to come to this perfect recipe of allergy free pancakes. I’m here to tell you, these taste great, rise normally, but they are gluten free, egg free, dairy free, and soy free. They are so delicious though, you’d never know. Here is the recipe she was nice enough to send me home with.

1/2 teaspoon of salt
