Venturing ourselves on new fruit WEEK # 2

So.....

 

My Husband and I have decided to venture ourselves into trying one new fruit for the next few weeks or so.

 

WEEK 2 of our new fruit adventure...

Tonight we tried ugli fruit.

We've concluded that it was rather tart, very similar to an orange. Our kids actually didn't enjoy it while my Husband and I thought it wasn't too bad, not unpleasant. I guess I would try it again if it were given to me but can't see myself going out and buying more.
 

 

Have you ever had an ugli fruit?

 

What new fruit would you like to try?

Did you know

 

 

 

I don't have much to share tonight.

 

I would love for you to check out my Husband's blog.

 

Did you know that he is an artist?

 

Yup, you can check out his masterpieces here.

 

You can also learn more by following his facebook page, D. Joseph Visual Art.

 

Happy Monday!!  

Sunday recap

 

 

 

Here it is Sunday and it has been a nice day.

Went to church, had lunch with the family and tried a new recipe.

We found the recipe on Pinterest - such a lovely place to find so many helpful things.  

It's called Mexican Casserole and the family enjoyed it so we'll have it again I'm sure. We love Mexican food so we're always on the hunt for new recipes to enjoy as a family.

 

I got out of dish duty and so I enjoyed a little mid-Sunday afternoon nap.

I hope you all had a very lovely Sunday. Here's to wishing for a great week ahead!!

 

Happy Spring

A day late but nonetheless.....

WARNING - for chocolate lovers only!!

 

Hey,

 

you,

 

yeah you....

 

starring at the chocolate brownie....
(no worries I didn't notice if you have drool on your chin)

doesn't it look soooo yummy!?!?

I must confess.....

I'm a sucker for brownies.

I'm a sucker for ice cream.

Heck, I'm a sucker for most-things-chocolate.

You too?! (high-five)

Put brownies, ice cream and chocolate - warm chocolate fudge together and um, yeah

disaster!!

It is over!!

(Oh, don't forget the whip cream and cherries - must be two cherries since I do most things in pairs).


One of my all time favorite desserts is a hot fudge brownie sundae.
Call it temptation, call it chocolate goodness, call it what you may - I love it!!

It'll be awhile for me to have one of these delights as I'm watching the calorie intake but nonetheless the picture is a fun one to enjoy.

Maybe I'll spoil myself for Mother's day!?!?!
(for the recipe, just follow the picture above - you can't go wrong - no mistakes!!)

What is your dessert weakness? Do share!!

Temporarily - out of service

 

Ever feel this way?!?!

 

Yeah, me too.

 

It's Monday.

 

Today we are taking a "day away" from the norm.

 

Away from the typical curriculum.

 

Away from being structured.

 

Away from being on a schedule.

 

Kids need time to step away.

 

This Mom needs time to step away.

 

I wish there were more hours in a day - sometimes.

 

Today we are focusing on cleaning our areas. Taking time to organize - declutter.

 

Time to prepare lesson plans.

 

Time to breathe without fussing about the next thing to cross off my "to-do" list.

 

Today we are temporarily out of service - and that's O.K.

 

(thank you Hubby for understanding) !!

Read for fun, read for knowledge

 

Isn't reading fun?!

When I was younger I didn't think it was so much.

Now as an adult, wife and mother of four I wish I had more time to read but when I do, I end up falling asleep. Tis the season I'm in I suppose.

 

Please share....tell me what book(s) have you been reading lately?

Venturing ourselves on new fruit

 

So.....

 

My Husband and I have decided to venture ourselves into trying one new fruit for the next few weeks or so.

 

This week we're starting off by trying Star Fruit (Carambola).

 

I've never had it and I'm not sure exactly how you cut it or if there are pits.

 

I've looked up some videos so I think I have an idea.

 

I guess the more yellow the skin is, the sweeter the fruit will be and ours is quite greenish so we'll wait another day or so.

 

We wonder what the taste will be like....

 

Have you ever had star fruit?

What new fruit would you like to try?
