Good Morning!!  What an uneventful winter we have been having here.  Very little snow, which is so disappointing to me.  We did have sun over the weekend which is actually nice, since we’ve had long stretches of gloomy days.  Thursday, my son Elijah turned 16 years old.  He’s my middle kid, and has grown as tall as his older brother.  We just celebrated with food and cake with the family, which is getting harder to do as everyone’s schedules are different, we actually did this on Wednesday because of just that.  Each year that goes by I cherish these times with all my kids still in one place, I know it won’t be like this forever.  Here’s to another week!!

Linking-up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

RECIPE I WANT TO TRY/HAVE TRIED:

Recently I made a recipe that my mom used to make all the time, which she got from her mom.  My mom used to make it using her pressure cooker, but I did it in the crock pot, and it turned out sooo good.  I don’t know how authentic it is, but hey, we’re polish.  Plus, I researched it, and found out its not Chinese after all, it’s actually an American dish, so we’re good.

Chop Suey

2 lb. Chop Suey Meat

2 cups Celery (diced)

2 cups Carrots (diced)

1 cup Onions (diced)

4 T Bead Molasses

4 T Soy Sauce

4 cups water

Salt and Pepper

Salt and pepper meat, brown with onions in fry pan.  Mix Water, Molasses, and Soy sauce in crock pot.  Add browned meat, celery, and carrots.  Cook on high for 4 hours.  Serve over rice.

This is one I’d like to try next:  Apple Pie Tacos…looks yummy.
