A Good Day!

Today was one of those days where I could just hold and squeeze and hug and kiss Anna a million times over and over again. She was totally and completely adorable and wonderful ALL day long!!



She is such a sweetie! Since she was so good I was able to get some random house-hold chores done around the house!

I've been wanting to clean out our pantry for ages now. It didn't really need cleaning out! (I don't think I threw any food out... I'm pretty paranoid about food going bad so things get thrown out quite often around here.) It WAS in desperate need of organizing though!! I'm a big organization freak. I just love to organize a drawer or something and then admire it for a day until it's destroyed again!!
Thought you might like to admire my handy-work too!!



Do you see the FUZE on the floor of the pantry?


These are my new favorite drinks. Not just any flavor, the Pomegranate Acai Berry flavor!! mmmmmmm SO good! They are pretty pricey (almost $2 a bottle I think) but at SAMS they were 12 for $10!

Barefoot Contessa's eggplant gratin turned out GREAT tonight. I thought it was pretty tasty myself. My two taste testers (Casey and Jessica) also seemed to enjoy it so I'll probably be making it again!



I decided to roast the eggplant in the oven instead of frying it.. it was still good!! Also, I had shaved parmesan instead of grated... I'd make sure you get the right kind. It turned out fine but it would probably work a little better being grated!





That is MY plate. I know the salad looks puny (those of you who know me are probably surprised to see a salad at all... I'm liking them now!)... Don't comment on the amount of dressinig! It poured out too fast... I had to get more lettuce!

It must have been yummy because we all made "happy plates"!!

Well, I'm off to bed! Hopefully I'll have some fun pictures for you tomorrow!
