Super Bowl Antics

some of the kids came over for super bowl. Andrew surprised us by telling us his tooth was loose! but no one could touch it. Next thing we knew he had the tooth in his hand. Yeah Andrew! he was very proud of his tooth coming out with out any help! Now, I have a friend Bobbi G. she is a great cook. An awesome cook. she is always sharing her recipes with me. they are easy and oh sooooo yummy! So I served this yummy, SUPER easy Lemon Pie for our super bowl. You won't belive how easy!

these are your ingredients. pretty straight forward. (recipe will follow)

Now this is the freaky part of the recipe. trust me, you really do this! take your lemon and quarter it. take out all the seeds and put it in the blender. really, trust me....lemon peel and all....

now add the rest of the indgredients to the blender. notice my beautiful lid to my blender. it's been gone for a long time..... sigh...... but the blender still works! LOL......

whirl the bejeebees out of the ingredients. look at it and whirl again. no chunkies. you want it very smooth. then bake. how easy is that! and oh soooo very good.

so here is the recipe!

Lemon Pie

1 medium lemon

1 stick of butter

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

4 eggs

1 pie shell

wash lemon. cut lemon into wedges, and remove seeds. ( EVERYTHING goes into the blender, except the seeds! EVERYTHING!)
put all ingredients into the blender and whirl the dickens out of it. until smooth. so once you think it is done, whirl again!
pour into pie shell.
bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
serve warm or cold

this is what Bobbi says:
you may serve with whipped cream or top with meringue. I have found i you are using a home made crust, it works best if you pre bake it or 10 minutes before you add the filling. this way you won't get that weird crust you get with most pies.
I have never gotten a negative feed back on this pie. try it, you will LOVE

well we sure do! Thanks Bobbi, it was a hit. in fact this is the second time I have made it. and we LOVE it!

you are a sweetie Bobbi.....

The Smith Family

I can't believe it has been a couple of weeks since I last blog. I have a good excuse! I was sick with whatever was going around. not a happy camper at all. anyway, Melissa brought the boys over to see how I was doing. Andrew is at the age he is loosing his teeth. If you click on the picture you can see how big his tooth is coming in. Isn't he a cutie? Love you Andrew! OK, true confession time. I love Pringles Jalapeno Chips. Bruce calls them my stress chips. anyway, Gunner man found them. here he takes a bite

another bite.......

and then the heat finds him....... I am so sorry Gunner man. I tried to tell you and take them away. but he was very unhappy until I gave them to him. the problem is, now he looks for the chips and wants more! oh dear.....

Love you boys!

1st day of school......

Andrew's first day of kindergarten was yesterday! He was soooo excited. when I picked him up after school, he told me of all the fun games he played! He wanted to go back again. today when I took him to school we walked up to the teacher, and she told him to leave his backpack and he could go and play on the playground. he looked at me, I said yes, he dropped his bag and off he ran! He didn't look back to wave or anything! LOL! I had Gunner in my arms and he wanted to run after big brother! I am so glad that Andrew is so excited about school. I can't wait to hear more of his adventures.....
