Report from the homeland, if you’re interested. It has been such a week that was exciting, exhausting, exhaling, exceptional time! The whole gang celebrated the first birthday of our little warrior! He was exhausted after the big bash and conked out on Oma’s lap.
The theme was “wild one”!
My fruit, veggie dish was a hit—but not much was eaten; everyone said it was just too cute! I hate that word! Cute? Really!! Eat the dang thing!!
And there was another. Yes! Another balloon arch that went up! Is this the big decoration now? This is the third one we’ve had at our house in the last year! Don’t know how to get rid of so many balloons—I just leave it up the banister until it partially deflates—can’t pop them as some are filled with confetti. Oh, well—we have green, gold, white balloons decorations.
Anyhow. It was a great day! And as a reminder, I’ll keep that balloon arch as a wonderful memory that our great grandson has reached a milestone!
Look how happy he is! He had his first year checkup with more tests and he came through with flying colors.
Beef chuck roast was on sale last week! Grab all those sale items we can. I prepared the best pot roast for our meal (via Pioneer Woman recipe). Now, there are leftovers—deciding what to make. Searching found several ideas—French dip ( we had that one night), sliders, pot pies, shepherd’s pie, beef and noodles, etc. Finally—decision made—beef enchiladas topped with lots of cheese!
I'm not one to throw away food so when I had several carrots left from the lion party dish, instead of making cooked carrots, I made Carrot Cake recipe--delish! I baked it in a loaf pan and didn't frost. We cut off a slice, toast and smear with cream cheese. Try it, you'll like it!
Enjoy your day!
