You Are: a Valentine’s Day Printable

February 7, 2011 by Aliesha

Inspired by this plaque, I created a Valentine’s Day card for my sweet hubby (surprise, honey!).  I thought I’d share it with you as well. Even though it contains a few inside jokes, I think you might still enjoy framing it or using it as a card or tag.  I’m printing one for my kitchen!

Here’s the original version, in a nice soft gray:

And here’s the pink version:

And here’s a green version for those of you who love v-day, but find pink in your decor to be cloying:

Enjoy!

Creamy Tomato Soup

February 4, 2011 by Aliesha

Today it’s cold and rainy where we live, which makes it (in my opinion), perfect weather for a bowl of warm soup!  I didn’t know I liked tomato soup until I tried this easy recipe (which came straight out of an old Simple and Delicious magazine).  It tastes so good that I wanted to lick my bowl after I was finished!  Hope you also enjoy this recipe while you wait for spring to get here!


Creamy Tomato Soup

1 large can (29 oz.) tomato sauce
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp. salt
dash of hot sauce
a few grinds of black pepper
green onions, croutons, and/or shredded cheese for garnish

Whisk together tomato sauce, cream, brown sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, hot sauce, and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat.  Heat slowly but do not boil.  Serve with green onions and/or croutons on top.

Serves 3-4.

Enjoy!

Special Outfit

February 3, 2011 by Aliesha

Vera wore a special outfit to church on Sunday. 

When Andrea was pregnant with Taite, she was convinced that he was a girl!  She even bought this sweet little dress for him.  Since she has yet to have a girl, Andrea was kind enough to loan me this adorable outfit so Vera could enjoy it.  (The big hair bow is from my mom.)
