birthday time

Posted by n.moon Posted on: 04/17/09

birthday time

My little guy turned two last week so I've been busy with him, redecorating his room, making his cool baseball cake and preparing for his birthday party tomorrow.   All the cleaning is finally done (bathrooms, kitchen, floors shampooed, pool and spa cleaned out)...  now for the fun part --  THE COOKING!

The party is a Pool BBQ.  So we're serving up some traditional BBQ foods with a healthy twist :)

The menu includes:

Hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled chicken, grilled veggie kabobs, veggies with dip, fruit and yogurt, guacamole with chips and hummus with pitas/celery.

So I'll be posting the recipes this week! 

So what do you serve at your birthday parties?

meet my pinch hitter: the crockpot

Posted by n.moon Posted on: 04/06/09

meet my pinch hitter: the crockpot

Today is opening day for the baseball season!   My husband works for the Arizona Diamondbacks so we are very excited for this first day.   But, it's also Monday, which means we're hit with a double header, my son also has baseball practice tonight.  

That means my crockpot is pinch hitting for me for dinner tonight.  Thank goodness for extra help!  LOL.   We're having Indian-inspired crock pot Pork Chops.

I got the recipe from allrecipes.com :

 

 

 

 

INGREDIENTS:

6 boneless pork chops
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
2 cloves garlic, crushed
salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place pork chops in slow cooker. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over pork chops.

2. Cook on Low setting for 6 hours, until internal temperature of pork has reached 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

how do you measure up?

Posted by n.moon Posted on: 04/03/09

how do you measure up?

These are quite possibly the CUTEST measuring cups I have ever seen.   You can buy them at Anthropologie.   I liked them so much I actually signed up for an account with the company and put them on my wishlist.  But honestly,  I can't fathom spending $36 that I don't have on measuring cups that I'm almost 100% positive my toddler would love to smash to smitherines on our tile kitchen floor.   Ahhh... maybe some day.  In the meantime, if anyone who doesn't have toddlers roaming the kitchen wants to buy a set and sell them to me in a couple years... I'm in!   For now, my Dollar Tree plastic measuring cups must suffice.
