I would have to say my obsession would be trying to stay warm without breaking the bank!!
My other obsession would be cleaning. I am getting stir crazy getting snowed in.
I would love to cook more, but with my all-day sickness I can’t even make it through the grocery store. Really, I am serious. Don’t think I can lose anymore weight without going on meds again. Not that I am complaining I am so thankful I am pregnant.
Well , just think if we are all iced over maybe we can jump on our sleds and sled down to Va! Stay warm!
PS- I know where your brain is , it’s with mine on a tropical island, staying warm and waiting to come back when it is 70. O yeah our in-shape bodies are there too. 😉

We got the Trouble game last year as well, and my almost-4 year old loves it. It’s funny, when he pops a number that will cause someone to be sent ‘home’, he’ll look up and say Uh oh, there’s going to be trouble! He loves it!
I’d love to have the recipe for the parmesan potatos! My kids will eat anything that I put parmesan cheese on…and I mean anything. Beans, noodles, bread, chicken, you name it!
The roasted cabbage-bacon-and-potato bake sound de-lish. Could you pass me the recipe some time?

Leighann I have played TROUBLE with my kids and grandkids for years and years…it is fun. But I know it is sometimes hard for little ones to pop the dice bubble.
And my little granddaughters always put the little playing pieces on their fingers like they are wearing fake fingernails! Ha!
I am glad that you are having time to cook now that Ryan is home. And I just wrote a poem about Wicked Winter Weather that you need to read! Hope on over for a quicl visit.
Luv ya!

Can you post the recipie for the roasted cabbage-bacon-and-potato bake or email it to me at lbethc75@hotmail(DOT)com? Thanks!! My sisters and I LOVED playing TROUBLE when we were younger. The classics never get old!
My Obsession for now is “Downsizing” getting ready for our next military move this summer. We will be going across country and I dont want to be dragging junk with us (the military moves us) since this may be our last tour I would just like it to be lighter.
Thanks for the Trouble game idea, thats fantastic. We just bought the game “Would you rather” the kids think its funny just to hear the questions…
Okay, by request, here is the link to Emeril Lagasse’s cabbage and potato bake. I play with the amounts a little – half a potato per person. I leave the skin on. Also, if you are using canned broth, one can should suffice. This takes a bit of cooking time so remember to start it. 🙂 I’ve forgotten before and then been disappointed.

Oh and for parmesan potatoes (I never promised they were good for you!):
Melt 2 T of butter
Slice 4 or so med-large potatoes (enough to layer in a pie plate)
Mix the melted butter, sliced potatoes, and 1/2 c. parm in a bowl
Layer that mixture in a buttered pie pan
Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender.
Enjoy!
Love the Trouble idea. I think my girls will be Way into that. You need to list the recipe for the cabbage, bacon, pot. bake. I’m intrigued…
I loved the picture of Natalie, so cute.
Haha the microwave thing is reverse of what mom usually does. (leaving stuff in the microwave and forgetting about it).
I cannot believe you guys have gotten so much snow! It’s insane. Vancouver is actually struggle with the whole snow thing (is what I’ve heard) and have to truck snow in from other places or something like that.
I’m so glad you guys play trouble- that is so fun and Natalie and Ainsley will always remember that.
love ya mucho.
Please, oh please. Your recipe for cabbage, bacon, potato casserole. Making my mouth water just thinking about it.
