Tid Bits

Today I made mini yellow cupcakes filled with peach and cream cheese centers and topped with butter cream frosting. They were pretty good but the time of year was all wrong. These little delights are meant to be enjoyed in the spring or summer,not the gray days of January. Yes somehow the time of year mattered with this recipe...

I also experimented with dinner-I love making one dish meals but I admit it feels a bit like cheating. I poured one can of chicken broth in a 9X13 glass baking dish. I added 2 cups of orzo pasta,2 cups of frozen broccoli and 3 chicken breasts on top. I seasoned it all with dry Italian dressing mix,covered it with foil and baked it in a 350 oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. It was soo good! I think we like orzo pasta!

2 for 2,not bad.

It was brought to my attention that I had an ad covering my blog. After much trial and error I have removed all the background gibberish and have settled for a simple layout via blogger. It seems I have fixed the problem but if I have not,let me know!

I know all my faithful readers have tolerated a lot of puppy talk and photos......

I would say it'll get better but...
It probably won't. haha

She is so adorable it's hard not to take a million photos a day! These days Maxine is a wild and crazy girl! She is such a typical puppy-she eats,she potties,she plays,she sleeps and then she does it all over again. I cannot let her out of my sight as she is curious and gets into everything she can reach or potties on the rug. I have had a lot of time off this week and I see how easily time flies when you are chasing and playing with a puppy all day! I am soaking up every moment of the precious time as I know she will grow up before I know it! I need to start planning a puppy shower but I have no idea where to start. It's really all food and some cute invitations right? ANY help would be muchly appreciated :)

So I will leave you with some new photos of Maxi

 

Also a pic of the adorable cake Vern got me for my birthday,THANKS BABY!!
