What I'm Reading This Week #15

We made it to the weekend!  Can I get a hell yeah, Stone Cold Steve Austin style?   source We're fast approaching mid month and for those who celebrate Easter, make sure you've got your game plan together and are shopping the sales!  We lucked out with some Honeybaked Ham rewards somehow and I placed my order months ago and we'll have that for $9.  I always pick up stuff on sale as the year goes on so I don't need a bunch of ingredients at once.  We saw Stowe got another dump of snow just as we were lamenting it fading away two days earlier. I know.  Don't nobody here wanna see dat but it still warms the cockles of our otherwise charcoal hearts.  It makes me want to watch our little slideshow from Christmas again.   We tried our little outdoor table and I'll be damned if that project also didn't crap the bed in fantastical fashion.  It's almost like I can hear the deities giggle and go "watch this."  It wasn't unfixable but eno...

Protein with a cute face

About 2 years ago I really went wild with the bento stuff. Bento lunches are more like art and portion control combined. There are all kinds of food molds, picks, cups and the most fun, bento boxes to carry it all in. I've got 2 really cute bento boxes I'll have to take pics of but for now I wanted to share my morning friend.

Bear Mold
Insert freshly hard boiled egg & close
If you don't start out with a crappy egg,
yours will look better than this! :-)















Put a dozen eggs in water that is boiling, let them boil for 4 minutes then turn off the heat. Let them sit for 15-20 minutes in the water and remove them to a bowl. If you want to put them in the molds, this is the perfect time. The eggs are still warm inside and easier to peel. Pop them in the mold, close them, wait about 2 minutes and pop 'em out and put them in a storage container. Perfect not just for kids but adults too. It makes getting in a little extra protein extra cute!

Hopefully this will give you an idea of how you can make your meals a little more interesting!

    I've never even heard of these. I thought a Bento Box was something you got at a Japanese restaurant.

    My boys would LOVE these...I'll have to get some!!! Thanks!!!
