This week I made a delicious homemade mac and cheese just with ingredients I had on hand! I felt like a real cook!! Then I also experimented with making pumpkin/caramel cinnamon rolls - they were delicious as well! And to sum it all up I tried my hand at my friend Kelly Booth's yummy Zuppa Tuscano soup! Yum! A good week in the kitchen! I often say that I feel funny owning and operating a restaurant as I am not a trained cook or chef by any means... just a mom and home cook! I feel a little bit validated after this weekend, cause I think it all turned out great!! :)
And on a final and much higher note.... this weekend I was happy to attend the baptism of a dear friend of mine and her daughter. I am so excited and happy for her! She is an amazing lady with such strength and light. She suffered a severe stroke at the age of 29 and has come back from that so that you wouldn't know it. She is a single mother of 3 beautiful girls and a survivor in more ways than I can say. She is always an example to me and I love her!! We also had the opportunity of attending Regional Conference in Ogden where we were addressed by some amazing people and our dear Prophet, Thomas S. Monson. What a treat! The messages were beautiful as was the music. I came away with a lot to ponder and put into action. I will blog more about that this coming week!
Anyway... Happy Halloween!! :)

I feel like time is flying by, too. It's hard to believe it will be November 1 in a couple of days.
I bet you are a GREAT cook.
How wonderful for your friend. So happy for her.
It must have been a wonderful Regional Conference.
Happy Halloween.
Okay I want recipes!!! Especially for the pumpkin cinnamon rolls. YUM!!! I thought conference was AMAZING as well. We were very blessed to hear from the Prophet again in such a short time. Very inspiring meeting. I don't know what happened to me either with regards to Halloween...I used to decorate, get into the the fun of it all. This year, not a single decoration except pumpkins on the porch. Oh well. I still love the little trick or treater's!
Yep, where in the heck did October go? Pure craziness! I am sure you put some amazing costumes together because that is what you do.. amazing things!
It was so fun to see you at Leanne's baptism. What a beautiful event that was. She is incredible.
Love you!
Same as Julie here. Just pumpkins on the porch (which I begged Bryn to carve because I didn't have time). My roasted pumpkins seeds didn't turn out so well this year. I have no idea why. Quincy made her own costume ( I figure if you are over 10 yrs old, you are on your own) and we got take out pizza rather than the home made chili I had planned. So there you have it. I really need those recipes, though! I recently tried Zuppa's tomato soup and LOVED it! And most importantly, I love you!!!
