Cheddar Pickles

Are you ready for an easy snack that’s so dang good you may have a hard time sharing?

Well, I’ve got you—try this one!!

It’s so simple and quick that you’ll  be able to make a few batches in just a few minutes. If you’re not alone–you’ll need to keep them coming.

Fair warning.

All it takes is shredded cheddar cheese and pickle slices.

That’s it.

Butter all the cups in a cupcake pan. Sprinkle in a pinch of cheese. Pat 12 pickle slices dry with a paper towel and set one pickle slice on top of the cheese.

Now sprinkle another pinch of cheese on top of the pickle.

Bake for 14-16 minutes. Remove from pan to a paper towel.

I had a few left and kept them in the fridge, and was surprised at how good they were cold. I knowww…weird.

Please try this one!!

It has become a happy little adiction…

and I’m not a bit sorry.

Heh, heh.

Eva and Thor are on their way to Portugal this very minute as a birthday surprise to my friend Teresa’s son. Sweet Teresa is the dear friend who sent me a Seed Fairy many years ago. It’s hanging in my house still.

Making them was a labor of love.

Brave Girl

Once upon a time, there was this cute girl who played soccer. She play so much soccer that one day, she totally tore her ACL.

Fast forward and here we are. She was called in much sooner than expected,  for repair surgery because someone else canceled and she got their spot. Brave girl, Lil!

Back at home now, she is loving fruit smoothies and sitting back in the recliner…exactly like she’s supposed to.

And her mom’s a pro at adjusting her brace…

and unwrapping…

and unwrapping…

and unwrapping her leg…

to see what a good job the doctor did! And what a great job Lily is doing too. Not much bruising, so far.

She’s even mastering crutches like a pro….something I never did figure out. 

We’re so proud of you honey!! Rest and keep healing. We love you!

The Big Snow Ripoff

We went all through Thanksgiving with no snow.

Not a flake.

Then came Christmas.

Still wearing sandals.

What is this, California?!

No. It’s Utah–you know–“the greatest SNOW on earth!”

A bunch of us actually love the stuff and we’re feeling teriffically scamed.

Then one night, for some odd reason, I was awake at 4 am. I just woke up and decided to see if it was even cold out side.

It was.

AND IT WAS SNOWING!!!!

It was covering the grass…

and my car! I was so happy!! At last, at last!! Snow!! Heeeee!

Of course It was gone by morning and the grass was as thick and green as the fake stuff at the soccer field. No one even believed me when I told them that it really did snow.

But I have a witness.

This dude saw it too.

So HA!
