Chi-town


One of Jamie's favorite meals is Chicago style pizza. I had never attempted to make it before. I didn't think it could be duplicated in a home kitchen. Then, I received THE BEST COOKBOOK OF ALL TIME for Christmas. The people of Cooks Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen will never lead you astray. They know what they are doing. I was so excited when they had a recipe for Chicago style pizza. If they said you could do it at home I was willing to give it a try. I am sooooo glad I did. It was fabulous. This will certainly be made over and over again in my kitchen.

Mmmm...Perfection!

I think Evelyn enjoyed it.

A new do

With each pregnancy my hair has gotten curlier. With this last birth it went nuts. I feel like I have someone Else's hair on my head. Having 3 kids 3 and under leaves be very little time to think about things like my own appearance. I am just too busy wiping butts and noses :)
So....yesterday I took it upon myself to create a style that I can do in under ten minutes. Is it my favorite look I've ever had? Probably not. Does it accomplish what I NEED in a hairstyle at this point in my life? Definitely. So, for now this is the new me.
