Super Awesome Mom

Oh yes, I am so awesome and I'm going to brag just because it feels so good. :) I've been trying new things in the kitchen and am pretty excited about them!

First of all, I want you to know I am KING of the Chicken-Cordon-Bleu. It's not something new I've done, but we had it recently and it's so so so so amazing. wow.

My most coolest newest thing I've tried is... drum roll please... homemade yogurt! Pretty awesome, right? Brian has been on a yogurt kick and I thought I'd try my hand at it. It's really very easy. I went through a few recipes online and combined them in my head to make a vanilla yogurt in the crock pot. I was so impressed with how it turned out on my first go. We mixed that with some homemade granola that I made a while ago and BAM-SHA-WHAM... who is super awesome?!?
Oh yeah, I also tried some old fashioned molasses bread. Take a look below. Looks amazing, I know... except for the fact there is a huge air bubble inside (because I forgot to kneed it again when I shaped it) and the bottom was under-done. haha. It still looked so perfect that I at least give myself points for that. :)
This is me at the grocery store being super awesome mom (thank you Avery for the picture). I spend much of my time at Smiths with the kiddos and I give myself a pat on the back after each run (or more like "slow-meandering-walk-with-two-patient-children"... you gotta give the kids credit for that... so here's to 2 super awesome children!).

I've always admired how much you make at home, but I do disagree with you on one thing. Russ says MY chicken cordon bleu is the best. I've decided that we just need to get together and have a cook-off and see whose is really better. (Or since you called yourself the 'king' I can be the 'queen'...since I'm a girl :D)
