Spring Has Sprung

We planted some wheat seeds four days ago... one jar for each member of the family... and look at them now!! It is so neat to watch the roots grow first, and then the little green shoots. There is something amazing about a seed.

I planted the seed... but God made it grow.

Chocolates Anyone?

Yummy. These were so fun and easy to make. Jacob and I had a blast.

It's a Carwash... It's Soup... It's Fun!

It was cold outside, and we were going a little stir crazy.... So this is what happened! Two bins with soapy water and anything else they could find... Little cars, funnels, spoons, pots, etc... Once all the water was spilled and the towels were soaked they were done, and so was our morning!

Let's Get Crackering

I am now on pinterest and it is addicting. So I decided I can't just keep pinning stuff indefinitely, and my goal is to always have one project on the go from my boards. So Sunday afternoon Jeff was at a meeting and BOTH boys had a nap, so I decided to make cheese crackers. The picture looked so tasty and the recipe was only six ingredients.

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix together the following (I used my kitchenaid mixer but the recipe used a food processor)

1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
3/4 cup flour
4 tbsp butter, softened
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried red pepper flakes

Once mixed together and crumbly add 1-2 tbsp milk. Just until it turns into a ball of dough.

Roll out to 1/8" thick and cut into 1" squares (I used a ruler and a pizza cutter). Poke to centre of each square with a chopstick.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, until just starting to brown. Mine took 13 minutes.

I had fun making these. I even put them out in a nice bowl so we could all have a snack together when everyone got home/woke up. Jeff didn't like them. Jacob didn't like them. And Daniel didn't like them. And when I left the room the boys put half the crackers into a wet winter boot, so I had to throw them out.

I thought they were pretty tasty, but I really should have had a nap instead.
