...a good cookbook! I got The Pioneer Woman Cooks cookbook for Christmas from my sister! What a great gift! I have already cooked a couple things from the book and both were huge successes!!!! I highly recommend her book!
The best part in any good cookbook or recipe...
"I love it when you cook... you make the best food of anybody!" ~Lily
"I want to help! I love chef-ing with you!!!" ~Lily
"I look in the pantry and see nothing, then you go in the kitchen and the next thing I know we have a wonderful dinner! You're amazing" ~Chris
:-) So fulfilling!

...a girl's very first Easy Bake Oven!
I remember baking cookies, brownies, and cakes with a light bulb! LOL!!! :-) It doesn't get much better, seriously! Lily was SO proud to bake some "surprise" cookies for her Daddy! We sure do LOVE to pamper him!!!! ;-) (and I must say he certainly pampers us too!!!)3. Antique refrigerator ware!
I inherited from my mother a love of dishes and glass containers! I have always LOVED antique refrigerator ware.... primitive Tupperware, if you will. Funny thing is, I am very specific! I like the kind my granny had. Clear glass. Ribbed. Veggies etched on the lid. I can easily find refrigerator ware in just about any antique mall, but finding the specific type I want is near to impossible! Mom, however, ran across a set and got it for me for Christmas!! :-)
I got two square containers and one rectangle and I LOVE them!!! I mean REALLY love them! Of course, you could buy me ANYTHING for the kitchen and I would love it.... but I especially love these since they have both sentimental value AND functionality! :-) Can't beat that!And last, but not least: Quotes from the coolest 5 year old I know... LILY!
"Whew! That stinks... someone hit a STUNK!" :-) (stunk = skunk)
"Our defense runs a 2-3 zone, but sometimes we do man-to-man." (Think she likes coachin' with her Daddy?)
"Daddy, your eyes look green tonight... but the middle of your eye... the center of your pupil, is black." (yeah... she's 5! I didn't know what a pupil was until I was in, like, middle school!)
"That's a parody, it's kind of like a joke." (Again, FIVE... thank you Lord for magnet schools!)
"Daddy, your Tweetie bird. I'm Silvester. Meagan, you be the Lady!" (acting out old episodes of Loony Toons... imagination... gotta love it!)

1. cooked a couple of PW's recipes and loved them. Glad you like your book too
2. love the ref. ware! I love that stuff. I didn't remember Granny having any specifically, so its cool that you considering your younger.
3. Lily, always a hoot! Love that kid, even if I only have met her once.
And feeling relieved that our youngsters, especially that young, even know what Looney Toons are! I thought Bugs and his pals had become extinct and a whole generation was missing out on "real" and "good" cartoons! Thank you for brightening my day!
I have never heard of "refrigerator ware" but I sure do like it! How much better that must be for you than putting food in all that plastic! I bet you are the best cook. Wish we could come over for dinner. ;)
I am so glad you got that cookbook! You will have to share your favorite recipes with us galz :)!
I just love it when the kiddos say things so honestly, so genuinely, and with so much imagination!
Ooooo...that refrigerator ware is so pretty!
Oh, and I tried Pioneer Woman's guacamole this weekend and it was amazing!! The recipes I've tried so far I have really liked!
Lily is such a cutie pie! She seems very smart. :)
