While cleaning out Brad's room at school (he is moving rooms and teaching a whole different class) I found a cookbook that a student had used in a marketing project and just left it. Easy Weeknight Favorites by Southern Living. I thought I would almost do a review of the cookbook and cook straight through it. So if you are interested in the book, the link takes you to Amazon. Real cheap and hard cover. The recipes are easy and so far delicious. It suggest what you should stock up on, what you need at the store, sides that you should put with it, etc. I loved how it is laid out and that it is really user friendly with pictures! The kids (and Brad) have loved most of them. Of course I still have our pizza Fridays and another basic recipe thrown in, but for the most part, I am cooking straight from this book all month. Wish me luck!

The baby is 6
Our Carsyn Joy is turning 13 (opps I mean 6). Yes, still the most independent, strong willed and self determined child I have. I have been having some serious issues with this blog and can not upload pictures, so many weeks after her birthday, I am finally posting this.
