Foods of SIP

By
The one fun part about sheltering in place is having more time to try out recipes. Well, it's either the time or the fact that we cook so much at home that we're getting bored of the same things over and over! 

I finally found yeast and tried my hand at baking bread. It was a lot easier than I thought and the girls LOVED the small artisan rolls I baked last weekend. I'm planning on trying this again to get a crunchier crust! 



I was also impressed with myself for making my own Hainan Chicken using half of a chicken. I usually cheat and make the chicken with a few chicken breast pieces and don't make the accompanying chicken rice, but I did the whole thing this time and it was yummy!



Evie and Nora have been trying out new "recipes" too like this strawberry, cool whip and chocolate sauce dessert that Nora asked me to take a picture of and post. :)


And here's Evie's interesting lunch combination of Trader Joe's cup-o-noodle with a side of goat cheese. Goat cheese is currently Evie's favorite cheese and she wants it all the time. Lots of umami flavors for lunch!

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted!  We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.

Trick or Treat!

Halloween this year was the quietest one we've had in 13 years! This was the first one we had without the girls! Both of them went to friends houses and left Scott and I to man the door. It was very quiet at home because the doorbell rang only 4x the entire night, but at least both girls said they had a lot of fun despite it being rainy and dreary out. Thankfully, they have finally learned to not trust Seattle weather in October and chose warm(ish) costumes!
