I think we might have to try this <a href="http://foodwineandmodpodge.blogspot.com/2010/11/roasted-chickpeas.html">YUMMY</a> recipe from Food Wine and Modge Podge!<br /><br />Look at this yummy deliciousness!!! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix7SoXz-pMvT7TTw6Bp5T2xH1siR1C0cjRoZaSQOJPFeneQUSlfi86L7tvv7rAgt08x6qiec3cARkvLE063mIkUSTbPEyyHBxGLIByOdgYNV74NFJdAr1vBl0IFPupREHe-Umf-XSo3-c/s640/blog+023.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix7SoXz-pMvT7TTw6Bp5T2xH1siR1C0cjRoZaSQOJPFeneQUSlfi86L7tvv7rAgt08x6qiec3cARkvLE063mIkUSTbPEyyHBxGLIByOdgYNV74NFJdAr1vBl0IFPupREHe-Umf-XSo3-c/s640/blog+023.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /> <br />Bacon-Cheese Pull Aparts from <a href="http://shannonsumrall.blogspot.com/2011/02/2-for-price-of-1.html">Why Not On a Tuesday</a>!<br />Ingredients:<br />1 egg <br />2 Tablespoons milk <br />1 (16.3 oz.) can Pillsbury® Grands® Flaky Layers Refrigerated Original Biscuits <br />4-6 slices crispy bacon, cooked and broken into 1/2-inch pieces (or you can use 4-6 Tablespoons packaged real bacon pieces) <br />1 cup shredded cheddar cheese <br />1/4-1/3 cup finely chopped green onions (4-5 medium), using both the green and white parts of the onion <br />1 (4-ounce) can mushroom pieces (optional) <br />cooking spray <br />Preparation: <br />Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 11×7″ or 12×8″ (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray (if you don’t having either of those size pans, you could probably use a 9×13″ pan–it just may turn out a little flatter). In large bowl, beat egg and milk with wire whisk until smooth. Separate biscuit dough into 8 biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters. Gently stir the biscuit pieces into egg mixture to coat evenly, then fold in bacon, cheese, onions, and mushrooms, if desired. Spoon the mixture into your sprayed baking pan and arrange biscuit pieces in a single layer. Bake 23-28 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm by cutting into squares, or just pulling biscuits apart. Makes about 8 servings.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Since Bugs Preschool Valentines Party will probably be postponed...<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1eI7tS4s_Bg/S23qiNjDrWI/AAAAAAAASdg/aqHCF71bEeA/s640/a.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 640px; height: 483px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1eI7tS4s_Bg/S23qiNjDrWI/AAAAAAAASdg/aqHCF71bEeA/s640/a.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> We might need to make some of these cute <a href="http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/tutorial-heartbreaker-valentines.html">heartbreaker valentines</a> from Made! <br /><br />We will have to decide what we plan on freezing too.

Yes, please!!!!!I ran into a mom from "Bug's" dance school at the grocery store, a few weeks ago and she shared with me her SUPER COOL shopping list, idea. I came right home and typed up my own and it has made grocery shopping MUCH more quick and organized. No more doubling back to the other side of the store, right after my lil ones have decided they are DONE with the store. WOO HOO I simply typed up a list of the usual grocery store "suspects" and then put them in order by aisle's at our Target. I saved a little room on the side for extra stuff we might need.<br />See.....<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc4v43CNx2uZIFGAsb0BrGwLhAnfC4lxEi5z_VrfakGJ5a-wqwi0cgFcMrnbEaOT_87Zq-Se7ovHBVl6MZy-D6jmFIXN8ge3Phh1guZaXSQTMyHrjovlcA9pRNLWUcLHqTYCMBQpkgz1I/s1600/grocery.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 307px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc4v43CNx2uZIFGAsb0BrGwLhAnfC4lxEi5z_VrfakGJ5a-wqwi0cgFcMrnbEaOT_87Zq-Se7ovHBVl6MZy-D6jmFIXN8ge3Phh1guZaXSQTMyHrjovlcA9pRNLWUcLHqTYCMBQpkgz1I/s400/grocery.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5571056774224137650" /></a><br />We highlight things as we run out and I underline the items that I have a coupon for!!!

Its the only room in our house that is always spotless. BUT! We have lived in our home for 6 years and have only eaten at that table about 9 times. <br />We entertain A TON but our dinner parties happen in our family room with everyone gathered around our kitchen island.<br /><br />Back to our "dining room." I shopped and shopped for THE perfect dining room set, back in the day. THANKFULLY, I didn't find exactly what I was looking for. We purchased this very traditional set from a friend and used our money to buy our family room couches, that we use everyday.<br /><br />Since we don't live in a museum, I decided it was time to utilize this room for family activities and we have. Stay tuned and I will show you how we have turned our formal dining room into a home office and family gathering spot. I am thrilled to say it is <em>still</em> the most beautiful and spotless room in our house.....you never know when former President George Bush and Laura Bush, might drop in for a visit. ;) <br />Hugs,<br />TaraTarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00005800961467869705noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086501007973149765.post-48695247310007539302011-01-11T17:41:00.000-08:002011-01-11T17:48:53.341-08:00This Post Brought To You By The Letter P!This week Bug is learning about the letter "P" at Preschool!!!

(one of the number one things they tell you in insomnia class NOT to do...the computer stimulates your brain...blah...blah) <br />Anyway, I came across a REALLY beautiful, colorful and happy blog called <a href="http://megduerksen.typepad.com/whatever/">Whatever</a>. Meg is a photographer and a mommy and really fun to read. I'm totally in love with her <a href="http://megduerksen.typepad.com/whatever/2010/09/vitamins.html">post about vitamins!!</a> After visiting Africa, she learned of the need for vitamins for the children living there. We are so going to help! Tomorrow I will be taking 'Bug" to the store to buy some vitamins to send to Meg and her friends in Africa. <br />Vitamins are a REALLY big deal at our house. She reminds me every morning to give her a vitamin. She never forgets and she loves to talk about how healthy the vitamins help her feel. It's one of our daily moments that I live for and cherish, SO much. She is going to LOVE picking and sending vitamins to other children so that they can be healthy. Meg's moment will forever shape our moment because now when we taking our vitamins, we can talk about our faraway friends taking their vitamins. A lesson in giving that will last a lifetime...every time we take our vitamins.<br />Hugs<br />TaraTarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00005800961467869705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086501007973149765.post-39360868679965629872010-10-03T08:54:00.001-07:002010-10-03T11:37:35.003-07:00Arrrrrrrrrrrggggggggg!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUuwhdqU1n0JAPaI0LPY9TGo7n_IcQC-uJAFWXuhyphenhyphen_o1lQJgxqr1_GOTL7xjxl83jwFHmzsop0dS8f8UaoxCVcfFIdfu83DrbrHdYwwm3pCUs8pgb715ppjXleVRTzZ42z4rlS-8dXU_8/s1600/arrrgggggbug.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUuwhdqU1n0JAPaI0LPY9TGo7n_IcQC-uJAFWXuhyphenhyphen_o1lQJgxqr1_GOTL7xjxl83jwFHmzsop0dS8f8UaoxCVcfFIdfu83DrbrHdYwwm3pCUs8pgb715ppjXleVRTzZ42z4rlS-8dXU_8/s400/arrrgggggbug.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5523849610817880930" /></a><br /><br />This Wednesday is Daddy Day at "Bugs" preschool and the theme of the day is Pirates!!! I'm on the search for a quick and easy "costume" idea for Daddy and Bug to wear to their big day! :) (another moment when I start daydreaming about the Silhouette machine I'll be asking Santa to bring me);)<br /><br />Anyway, I'm thinking I will make them some matching t-shirts and then Bug can wear her black tutu and some striped tights.

I intended to rotate their toys every month but it ended up being around 3. I am enjoying hearing the girls squeal about their "new toys!" It's messy right now but this evening, I will pack up what is currently on their shelves and replace them with the toys that have been in storage. The lack of clutter in the playroom has been FABULOUS. Im TOTALLY loving this plan.<br /> <br />Hugs,<br />TaraTarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00005800961467869705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7086501007973149765.post-83899932654137164802010-09-18T21:21:00.000-07:002010-09-18T21:52:40.566-07:00Little Pumpkin Baby Shower!Last year, I hosted a Little Pumpkin Baby Shower for my fabulous neighbor, Rashida.

This is her favorite part..... "Mommy, watch for the air-i-can flag....See, there it is!" <em>Insert her HUGE grin here</em>. Tonight she had another observation that made me giggle. "Mommy, if you tie my hands to a candle and complode me, we can watch fireworks all night long and then you and daddy can put your hands together and catch me!" <br /><br />Is this a dream or is my little angel really THIS sweet??
