vacation.

we've been on vacation. a 'staycation.'

since wednesday afternoon. it has been fabulous. FABULOUS!

i don't want steven to go back to work. ever.

it's been so nice to be together. cook. play. eat. nap. eat more.

i got to nap 3 days in a row.

unheard of.

i also got to try some new recipes.

it felt so good to be in my kitchen. cooking for my family.

fulfilling the craving of my overactive sweet teeth.

crunchy peanut butter cups. so yummy. only adjustment, add 1/2 cup more rice krispies.

these will be made again. soon. and i may not share as many...unless they are requested so i can make a double batch :)

cheesy garlic bread sticks. yummy, but needed extra garlic and some salt. i thought they were good dipped in marinara. the bread dough recipe is a keeper though. still have 1/2 the recipe for pizza tomorrow night. yum. grilled & glazed carrots. we had these today with our hot dog labor day lunch feast. they were easy & delish. chocolate crinkles. they were good. not my fav. remember that overactive sweet teeth problem i have? something about these cookies said, not sweet enough. i have a serious problem. back to the real world tomorrow... good thing it's a short work week. isn't vacation the best?!
