He is a sweet, little Jack Russel mix. Someone was trying to give him away outside of a department store. I don't know why I decided to take him. Call it fate - or a momentary lapse of good judgement. My kids couldn't believe it, but I am soft-hearted. And just like that, we have a new puppy.

I'm rather fond of chickens. They are a great theme for French country kitchens, and rustic decor. In fact, some kids at my church call me the "Chicken Lady". Not the most flattering nick-name in the world, but I'm glad they know who I am.Chickens are an easy homesteading project - a good starting point to a working farm.

Anyone for Italian tonight? This one was a winner with my 15 month old, and my mother who was out for a visit. I found a recipe on the internet, and altered it according to our taste. The mushrooms are my addition, and I omitted the capers. This dish was pretty rich due to the cream and yolks, and AmandaShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10720100700051602465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709713429769466837.post-47641574018208417472010-06-06T15:16:00.000-07:002010-12-15T16:11:35.282-08:00Gourmet PizzasWe love pizza night. It's a Sanders Family tradition. Living out in the country, ordering pizza is not a convenient option so we began making homemade pizza. Everything is made fresh, from the crust to the sauce. Believe me, it's easier than it sounds! With a little prior planning, it only takes only an hour or so, not counting the rising time for the crust(my crust can even be made ahead, andAmandaShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10720100700051602465noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2709713429769466837.post-75841070354629731952010-06-06T13:44:00.000-07:002010-06-28T16:45:34.171-07:00Summer Squash PastaThis recipe makes a delicious entree topped with sliced Italian sausage, grilled chicken or shrimp.

My son had been into some mischief that day and had been fussed at by one parent or the other. The boy just needed to be busy - to do something with his hands. So I employed him as my shrimp peeler.
