Surprise dinner...don't tell












So, I was inspired tonight. I am not sure what did it, maybe the extra time on my hands, maybe the fact that my husband needs a day of nothingness tomorrow. So while he was away leading firebowl, getting counselor snack ready, and do all of the other things that come up for a programer to do, I made a fun dinner for our day off tomorrow. The plan is to be able to just stick it in the oven, make a quick salad, and call it good.


From this recipe, I was even able to make another pan to freeze for a new baby meal. My goal is to stick meals away in the freezer little by little this fall, so that when the new one comes, I don't have to think too much about dinners. Doesn't it look yummy?! I can't wait until tomorrow night.


I am trying something brand new for dessert. Homemade peach sorbet in hollowed-out peaches. I found the idea in one of those parenting magazines and it just looked like too much fun. Then my mother-in-law brought fresh Michigan peaches (some of the first of the season) this weekend.
I hope the sorbet turns out!

  2. Its Ashley (VanDyke) Coppersmith. She is expecting her 3rd and she could really use the sling. I can't remember who else was asking about it, but I got so many compliments and I credited you!
