Better broccoli works for me.

I haven't posted a tip in a long while, but I did recently start doing something different that has completely changed my existence.

Ok, that may be a slight exaggeration, but I will say that there's no going back.

My life-changing tip: roasted broccoli.

I have always been a big fan of broccoli, but honestly it's not the most exciting veggie. Especially steamed. Which was the only way I'd ever eaten it. It was fine (a little blah), and something we'd eat regularly, but never very exciting.

Well, a friend a few months turned me onto roasted broccoli and I've never looked back.
Here is how I make it:
Chop broccoli the way you normally would to steam it.
Put in in a bowl, add a little olive oil, garlic salt, and pepper, put on baking tray.
Roast at 400 for 15-20 minutes.

Yum-mo!! Not only is it healthy, but it's delicious!
This also works great for cauliflower. And I just cannot tell you how much better and more flavorful this is than steamed.

Better tasting veggies work for me.

I will try this. We like both broc and cauli but steamed (as we always prepare them) is not really exciting :)

I was believing you until you said it works for cauliflower.

I've been watching in amazement for a few days as the links over here keep growing and growing with people who are hosting giveaways. The last time around I didn't participate, but now that things are slightly more settled in my somewhat crazy but wonderful job I thought I'd make an offering. The softies I make don't quite compare to amazing things you might see here or here , but I still think they are pretty cute. All those who leave comments will be entered to win the homemade softie of their choice, either an owl : (You can pick the colors you'd like, from a list of colors I have.) Or a penguin : Who will come with sunglasses, goggles, and a winter hat. (Because every good penguin should be prepared.) You can also pick (from a limited list) colors for the penguin's hat and glasses. I'll hold the drawing on Monday, since I'll be on call on Sunday, and the post the winner on Tuesday. Feel free to leave in your comment any favorite crafty blogs - ...

I am an awesome mom.

I won a new prize in the awesome mom category today. I have for some time been adding up points for all the ways that I am a good mom. Cut his tiny hand on his fourth day of life when I was cutting off the hospital band: check (He still has the scar!) Found rocks from our fireplace in his mouth: check Set down a knife on the table within his reach: check Turned around and found him holding said knife: double check Found leaves in his mouth: check, check and check Found him holding my razor, which I set down on the tub while he was in the bathroom: check Today, though, I set a new record. I locked Judah in the car. With all the windows up. See? Awesome mom, right here. It was a total fluke thing where I was tossing the keys onto the front seat as I was getting out and about to get Judah out. As I closed my door, the keys fell off the seat and into the shutting door, which closed on the lock button on our remote. And just like that, in a split second, Judah was locked in. ...

Final Picture Catch-up.

First, about 8 weeks ago, we saw this.... Then this: A little bit later there was this: And this: And Last week it was this: I'm now 13 weeks along, due in late March. We feel incredibly blessed, and of course, are very, very excited. (Working at a doctor's office and knowing how to do ultrasounds definitely comes in handy when you want to see your baby... And yes, I have been doing my own ultrasounds. It's a bit awkward, but I'm getting better.)
