Better than a Restaurant!

With three small children we rarely go to Restaurants, not just because they are to busy and wild, but because of the ridiculous price, C'mon $9.99 for a Hamburger? Let's stay home, I personally love when we stay in,  it gives me a chance to create and try so many new things! My family loves my food! My mom is more than happy to stop by for dinner after work!

My Famous (famous in my family;) Turkey Burger!

Whole Wheat Bun

Baby its cold outside!

 Last weekend we were doing some shopping at a local Children's store. There was a young Mama there that had on the cutest knit headband. As soon as we got home I grabbed my knitting needles and got to work. I decided to give mine my own little flare! : I used a very chunky yard, and opted against using circular needles.

My Yarn -
Lion Brand Hometown USA in Oakland Black
My Needles -
US 17 - 12 3/4 mm needle
-cast on 8 stitches knit until desired length!

Headband took about 1.5 hours to totally complete!

Stitch ends together...There is you head band!
You can add on a flower applique...(or two or three) like I did as well!

Now thats cute!

Tasty Cookies with a twist!

We've all had Peanut Butter Cookies! How about Nutella Cookies??

I used a regular Peanut Butter cookie recipe, but tweaked it by using Nutella in place of Peanut Butter and adding a extra 1/2 of flour!

The cookies came out great, not exactly what I expected...in a good way:). They are not overly sweet, so if you like REALLY sweet cookies, these probably aren't what you would like.

When I make them again, I will make a few changes: I will add 1/8 less of the butter and the sugar, and I will add a 1/4 more Nutella! Trail and Error right!!

Just as they are my kiddos Love them!!!

It has made for some VERY long night. Gab nursed for what seemed like a soild 5 hours the other night. The boys were both waking up with coughing attacks...BUT...there is light at the end of the tunnel!! Thrusday, something changed, the smiles, giggles, and fun were all back. Last night I actually felt like I got rest..YAY!!
