Halloween

Happy Halloween! We didn't have any kind of theme this year. What ever fit, they wore. Evelyn wore the costume that I wore when I was her age... one of Susu's saves. Sam was Batman and Max was The Pumpkin. Being The Pumpkin has become tradition at that age. They've all been The Pumpkin. While I was getting Evelyn ready, we had a little mishap. I had her put a sweatshirt under her top and she got too hot and threw up. She hadn't had any candy yet, so I knew it wasn't that. I'm just hoping it was the heat. She was fine the rest of the night.

Recipes to Share...

Just wanted to share the links to a few things I've made over the last 6 months or so, probably more then that...

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
Pizza Casserole
Herb Crusted Salmon
Snickerdoodle Cupcakes
Chocolate Pudding Pie
Shredded Pork (like Cafe Rio)
Raspberry and Jam Muffins
(I have tweaked these a little. I'll have to find my paper with the tweaking on it and share my tweaks.)
Arroz con Pollo
Baked Donuts
Zucchini Alfredo (really good with grilled shrimp)
Caesar Salad (we LOVE this)
Best Ever Chocolate Fudge Layer Cake

If you haven't checked out foodgawker, well you need to. If you like food, you'll find something you HAVE to make. If you only like to look at pictures of food, you'll find plenty of those too. Here are a few things I would like to try-

Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
Turkey Bean Pumpkin Chili (I think I might try this on Halloween.)
Pomegranate Creme Brulee
Bananas Foster Tartelettes
Mexican Pulled Pork
Chicken and Vegetable Chowder (or maybe I'll make this one on Halloween.)
Kneaders Bread Pudding with Vanilla Cream Sauce

Camping Trip...

I realize I have been a horrible blogger lately. I thought I had better finally get the pictures up from our camping trip over Labor Day. It was eventful. Someone, who shall remain nameless (it wasn't me), forgot the tent poles. We all slept in the back of the truck under the canopy. Thank goodness it didn't rain in the night. It did rain, by rain I mean came down in buckets, when we were on the river. Not my finest hour, but we made it to the end and were even on speaking terms later that night. lol!
