She was debating having her child eat one from the store, and I said they were easy to make, without having yet made them (but having made other granola.) Can I just say I've been standing over the stove picking at the granola bars. AMAZING! Soren is home for the second time this week with a stomach bug, so this was entertainment for me.Teafortwonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-20959093915835127322011-01-28T13:12:18.457-05:002011-01-28T13:12:18.457-05:00Just read and loved the salad post - and also have...Just read and loved the salad post - and also have to say that I am so glad that you keep finding Ben the "raspberry stripey-o" shirt in bigger and bigger sizes. :)cant_talk_knittinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167594025417145451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-90648407872560740572011-01-25T18:03:02.739-05:002011-01-25T18:03:02.739-05:00and i forgot to comment on that gorgeous baby on y...and i forgot to comment on that gorgeous baby on your beautiful blanket. tell me it is as easy to make as, say, the felted sweater wreath, and I'm game. if it involves a sewing machine? yeah, no, not gonna happen.dale_in_denvernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-21880311884917188062011-01-25T18:00:18.941-05:002011-01-25T18:00:18.941-05:00i have signed on, successfully, i thought, to disn...i have signed on, successfully, i thought, to disney to leave several comments on several recipes over the last several days and they aren't showing up. :'(<br />egg toritilla bake - YUM! Threw it together yesterday morning for dinner last night. heavenly. used some of the fire roasted Hatch green chiles we picked up late summer and froze - on only half b/c they are too spicy for my kiddos. we used pepper jack instead of monterey jack so their half had a little zing, but not too much. made the fondue over the weekend. much fun and my boys devoured it. whipped up a batch of granola bars on sunday too. today i've got your beef stew in the crockpot - hoping it makes a successful modification from the oven to the crock. it's been a dalai mama kind of week. thanks for helping to take the pressure off of me for answer to the age old question, "mom, what's for dinner?"dale_in_denvernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-4265914430900340932011-01-23T22:15:06.709-05:002011-01-23T22:15:06.709-05:00Oh, yummy.

Is it hand-sewn? Those are some skills.<br /><br />I wanted to let you know I checked out that diary you linked to in the fondue post...there is something wacky going on at Amazon...it is listing for $44.99, but the pink "Mom" version is listed at $11...I think there is some wacky code in there. <br /><br />It is also on the Canadian site for around $18 dollars. Anyway, I love the journal and will be ordering the pink mom version. What a great idea!<br /><br />Also, can't wait to try the squash recipe.Jeniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100043209000589029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-58540175534655808262011-01-20T21:13:16.697-05:002011-01-20T21:13:16.697-05:00LOVE Beirut!
