Growing Time

By
I think we are in a season of growing right now. Dylan has been sleeping in a lot which past 7:30 is late for him and it's already 9 today, slept in until 10:45 yesterday! I think he must be growing or something, no other real explanation for it. He went to bed about 7:30 pm last night so I know he's not staying up too crazy late. He did have a loooog week/weekend spending time at Grandma Cheryl's then the New Years Eve party and then staying over at the cousins house in Cle Elum so maybe his body is just trying to play catch up. Either way I guess I have to look at this sleeping in as a blessing that I can take it a little easier in the mornings. Also speaking of growing I think I am going to have to retire my first pair of maternity jeans already. The elastic wasn't too stretchy from the beginning but now it is starting to cut into my gut making them uncomfortable to wear for more than an hour, which isn't cutting it. But luckily that means that the baby is growing rapidly. Tomorrow I will be 14 weeks! Almost unbelievable really. According the the bump.com the baby is the size of a lemon now. I went in to the grocery store to look at a big lemon the other day. I almost cried just holding it. The people who work there probably think I am crazy. So at about 3.4 inches and 1.5 ounces this little baby can wiggle his or her toes and suck their thumb. Sometime soon I should also start to be able to feel the baby moving around in there. The miracle of life is so amazing!!

Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

By
I've been tweaking this overnight sourdough cinnamon roll recipe over the last few months and I think it's finally, exactly, the way I like it. We love this for slow weekend mornings, to take to family and friends, or for special holiday get togethers. It's also the same recipe I use when making them to sell locally. I've been keeping it under wraps for no reason in particular but it's just too good not to share.  I don't have a reliable kitchen scale so this recipe uses good old fashion cups and goes a lot by the feeling of the dough. It will get messy but don't be discouraged if it doesn't turn out just right the first time. No matter the flop, these cinnamon rolls will never disappoint taste wise.  The PDF printable can be found here or you can keep reading.  Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls  The night before you want to make rolls: 8 Tablespoons cold butter, shredded (a whole stick) 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose or bread flour  1/2 cup sourdou...

Oh Lovely Chicken Divan

By
Today marks my last official planned freezer cooking day for now in preparation for the new baby. I might end up making something next month, but really the freezers are getting quite full and until we eat down some things, it's quite a tight squeeze at the moment. Chicken divan, if you've never had it, oh you are missing out! This was probably the most requested birthday dinner in our house growing up and it is one of my ultimate comfort foods. It has vegetables, kids like it, and it really isn't that expensive to make either. It takes a little time because of the different layers so doubling it is a great time saver anyway (or if you have a smallish family just put half in one pan and half in a different pan for another meal. And finally the long awaited: Chicken Divan 2 packages/heads broccoli frozen or fresh (I like to use the florets when I can find them) 2 cups sliced/shredded/chopped cooked chicken (cook any way you like, baked is probably juiciest) 2 cups conde...

Keeping up with the Sadlers

By
Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada"  Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :)  Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?
