Photo A Day


I've decided that I'm finished with snow pictures.  Except for these, because they teach a lesson.  Remote control helicopters are bound to land on the roof when used outdoors.  Especially in winter, when climbing up on a ladder becomes hazardous.  I love that my kids are always learning new things.


From now on, until I can get outside and take pictures of something green, I'll be looking around the house for things to focus my camera on.


Like a rare shot of the sun shining through the window.


Or the mess I make of my kitchen.  It's been a hot spot of activity lately.


I made one of my best batches of chili ever...plus corn bread.


And this creamy vegetable rice, just like those instant rice packages but better, and minus all the processed, packaged, instant ingredients.  I was inspired by this recipe.  


A cookie jar that is as old as our oldest child, filled...


...with my attempts at healthifying treats.  Some good results, some not so good.


Hubby brought home a 22lb bag of flour.  He saw that I was on a mission.


And someone was so distracted they left half a bagel sitting in the toaster.  All day.

  3. You look as though you were on a mission with all that cooking. Great to see a kitchen such a hive of activity. Those cookies look great by the way.

  4. Love the bagel shot Jenn and, incidentally, I've seen kitchens FAR worse than that be described as tidy!

  7. What no more snow photos? Awwww. Of course I'm kidding, I'm so done with snow, snow photos and this winter period. I'm love with your kitchen! Mine is in great need of a reno. I don't think the kitchen has changed much since the house was built 135 years ago. Well its not that bad but almost.

  18. Hi Jenn,
    WOW...I hear ya about all the snow, I'm so tired of it! We got more today! I cannot ever remember a winter worse than this one. We have very cold temps in New Hampshire, but I think you might be colder. Spring will be here soon, and we turn the clock ahead this Saturday. Do you change clocks in Canada?

    Take care and think Spring :)
