We went to Martin Nature Park yesterday and had a picnic lunch and explored. Moxie’s favorite part was the microscope. Our little scientist.

How To Cook Chicken Legs.

13 Mar

Hello there! This is a special post for my sweet little sister Chelle. She was asking me all about chicken legs and how to cook them, so here goes!
First! I’m going to grill them so I put a little olive oil & garam masala seasoning on them. You can use any spice, darling.

Next! Stick those babies on the grill!

Grill ’em on that side for 5-10 minutes. Whatever feels right. (I’m a very “feeling” cook. I don’t really time things very well). And then! Flip ’em!

Same thing. 5-10 minutes. Check to see if they’re done. You know, no pink meat. Ew. Take them off the grill! Very important! Done!

Serve with some freaking delicious gnocchi with squash and kale that you made while you were doing all that other stuff.

Happy family! Eat and enjoy!

Paseo Arts Festival 2012

27 May

The Paseo Arts Festival is very special for us. Brad and I used to go every year before Moxie was born and after she was born it was her very first outing. I held her in the sling and it was really hot, and I think we left after about 30 minutes but we made it! This year she was all about dippin’ dots and sno cones.

Moxie and Brad went to the guitar store and he didn’t buy a guitar (shocking!) but she came home with a ukelele!
