So, we made a decision...

I talked with hubby over the weekend about putting food at From Seed to Store, and we decided that with the effort, time and money it was going to cost, it is too much of a risk on our limited budget. Plus, I do not know if my body will hold out to bake that much. There is just a lot of risk involved. If anyone wants something though, you can contact me for a list of items, and I would be happy to discuss with you pricing and shipping if necessary, but for right now, we are going to hold off on baking items for the local store.
As for the items that I had set out to thaw, so that I could package them up really cute, almost all of them are put away again. Hubby picked out a gallon sized bag of applesauce oatmeal cookies with butterscotch chips and is perfectly content to take the whole bag to work. To which I said no, but he is in the kitchen by himself right now, so we shall see.
Hubby did give me a really nice compliment this morning though, he said that I could be the next Paula Deen, to which I scoffed, but that is really nice for him to say.

Paula Deen would be Proud...I think.

I am still using the pots and pans I was given for Christmas practically everyday, and pretty much everything is edible and the family likes it, a lot. I am still trying to think about putting some of the family's favorite items in that store here in town. It will be a lot of work for me, with buying, baking, packaging, and I still am unsure if I am up for it, especially if no one buys the items, and I lose money. I am not sure about that, and that is pretty major.
Life takes a turn sometimes, and the Lord shows you a way, but I don't know if it is a way that I want to go for myself, or if he is guiding me in that direction, I guess we shall see. The granola cookies were a hit from yesterday, so unless the kids want something else, that is what we are having again today.
As for tomorrow, hubby and I are going out on a "date", yeah, right. We are actually taking the truck to pick up my parents old dining room table. They got a new emsemble and are letting us have their bigger table, which we need now that we are a family of five, instead of four, and we have put off getting a larger table for too long. The baby wants to sit with everyone else, and it is time. The good part is spending time together, the bad part, I will be so stiff and sore and unable to move by the time we get home, I will be useless. What a great way to spend the last day of Spring Break...Have a great weekend all, you are loved!

Day Nine - Yummy!

Okay, first off, I have to share what I got as a Christmas present...my hubby and children bought me kitchen items for the holiday. My favorite being the Paula Deen Cookware griddle pan. So, this morning, I used it, well actually I use my Paula Deen cookware DAILY, but this pan is just wonderful! Today I made breakfast sandwiches, which consisted of a fried egg, thin ham slices, and half a piece of cheese, on a toasted roll, all prepared on this fabulous pan. Yum! Littlest daughter also ate, but her's was a deconstructed version, as she still eats mostly with her hands and when she uses the spoon she just has to have no matter what we are eating, she places the piece of food on the spoon then does the best she can to get it into her mouth, usually succeeding after 2 or 3 tries...which does bring a smile to her face and ours, usually accompanied by a round of applause, initiated by her. Gotta love the enthusiasm of a 17 month old.
