I love love love my husband

My Michael brought home flowers for me today just because he loves me...and boy do they smell wonderful, and just the look on his face when he gave them to me. Yep he's the best there is.

I make my own pasta...yummy

I thankfully have a pasta making machine we bought at a thrift shop, and it works great. Kids love watching and helping....and honest I have fun making it. While I was making pasta Sadie decided to have a little of her own fun.

Quick and tasty lunch

I forgot I had a can of Pillsbury biscuits in the fridge, I just found today so for the kids lunch we made ham and cheese roll ups in the biscuits, they loved it . We even rolled up hotdogs

My kids don't care for veggies...so what do I do?

I juice the veggies add a little fruit and the love them.
What's in side : Spinach, Kale, sweet potato, carrots, pears, apples, strawberries, and a frozen banana. We love it so much I usually make 2 quarts.

We made our own butter....a lot of work, but yummy

Pour heavy cream and season with salt to taste in an air tight container and shake...shake...shake until you don't hear the more liquid. Again a lot of work but worth it.

Homemade rolls....these are insanely good

Roll recipe:
1 cup warm water 90 degrees
2 tablespoon butter melted
1 egg
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
3 1/4 cups of bread flour
2 1/4 tsp dry yeast

dissolve sugar in water then add yeast...set aside for 15 mins, then pour onto large mixing bowl, add butter, egg, flour and salt mix together when big ball of dough formed, set aside covered in a warm spot let rise for 1 hour, the work out air, on a baking sheet divide dough into round balls cover let rise in warm spot again covered for 30 mins, bake at 375 for 13-14 mins. When done I brush melted butter on each one then sprinkle parm cheese with salt on each.

***side note....these are great also if you bake them with a little pepperoni and cheese in them

Bacon mushroom, cheese burgers in homemade rolls with homemade Macaroni and Cheese

Mac & Cheese recipe
Cook pasta on the side, and set aside.
In small sauce pan use heavy cream or milk (whatever I have on hand) about half the pot, bring to boil the turn down and start blending in flour by the shifting a tablespoon and whisking with a wire whisk. Salt the mixture which is called a rue. Then start adding you choice of cheeses, never stop whisking while adding. taste and see what if you need more salt or pepper. Depending on funds cheese always varies, I do cheddar and swiss, some times gruyuere, fontina, even bleu cheese like I said depends $$$
In baking dish add pasta mix in cheese mixture, blend well, bake 20 mins @ 350, then while that is baking make bread crumbs. In a blender take your bread, blend pour into a hot buttered pan and crisp up bread crumbs, then pour over mac and cheese, broil for like 3 mins just till browned
