Garbanzo Beans!

Just add this to the list of things Kaylynn loves to eat. I made her some for dinner tonight, thinking she'd hate them. I was expecting that "ugh, Mommy what in the world is this junk" face, but instead, she chewed (sorta, as well as she chews), swallowed it, and hit the tray smiling, saying "More, Mommy!".

This makes me so excited, because it's just one step away from loving hummus and if there are 3 of us who eat hummus, we'll just be a hummus eating family.

Did I mention that I love hummus? Hey Jessi, fly to Houston and make some already. Your's is the best!

On a Happier Note

I wanted to share a link with those who care to look. A while back, Ashley told me about a blog/website called The Pioneer Woman. Long story about her, but she's a very excellent writer, so her blog becomes addicting. We tried one of her recipes a few nights ago - The Ginger Steak Salad - and it was delicious! So good that we're having it again.

I love that because they are ranchers, they eat a lot of beef. Now some may argue that eating beef is causing global warming, but I do enjoy our home-grown, grass-fed, organic, raised at my parents house beef...that was free. And we have a LOT of it, so her recipes will definitely come in handy!

Thanks Pioneer Woman!

PS - Dad, can we start raising chickens? Organic chicken would be awesome to have. On a second thought, our dogs would probably kill the chickens, so perhaps that is not a good idea.
