A Quick Recipe




I had a good response to my first recipe, so here's another one. I tried this for the first time the other day, its easy and a new take on an old cookout favorite...coleslaw.

With the exception of cooking the bacon, Ava or any of your 4 years could put this together.

Here's what you need:



Bagged coleslaw, Cider Vinegar, Sugar, Miracle Whip, Bacon and Peanuts.


I double my recipe on this day, so I used 2 bags of Coleslaw, 8 slices of bacon, ...


Start by frying your bacon


Next combine 1 cup miracle whip, 2 TBSP sugar, 2 TSP cider vinegar
You can adjust to taste and how creamy you want your coleslaw.


crumble your bacon and peanuts




Like so...


And Whamo, mix it all together and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.


I think next time I would add shredded cheddar cheese. I thought it was tasty and definitely easy to prepare.

Oops we did it again!



This is our latest casualty. Ava jumped off a swingset at her end of soccer season party and hurt her foot. No major fracture but an area of concern of her xrays regarding her 2-4 metatarsals.
She is in a "wee walker" walking boot. She didn't walk on it for the first several days, but then in Ava style she decided to come all the way upstairs to show me she could walk as hasn't looked back. She is her old self, doing crazy things with the boot now. Hopefully she will be out of it this Tuesday.


Donut Sunday




Ava and Tony make "homemade" donuts. (I am struggling between typing doughnuts and Donuts...ok you get what I am talking about right?)


They use refrigerated biscuit dough which they fry and frost with canned frosting. Ava gets such a kick out of making and of course eating them, as they are laden with sugar.
