The Good Home Cookbook
What I got was a whole lot more!
The book is full of tips and tricks for preparing different foods, such as chicken, fish, meats, and other things. There are great references for conversions, substitutions, canning and food preparation, among other things. I gave a copy of The Good Home Cookbook to my mother-in-law as well, and we have had fun discussing which recipes we like, and which ones we can't wait to try. My personal favorite is a recipe for steak kababs using a marinade that is so perfect, I use it for tons of stuff! One of my families favorites, too, is the recipe for chicken noodle cassarole.
The thing I like the best about it is that most of the food is all homemade, but using things that are easy to find. I like feeling like I am making the best food choices I can for my family, and this cookbook allows me to do just that. Often times, when I find myself planning meals for the week, all of them come from just flipping the pages of the book and seeing something that looks delicious!
The best part about The Good Home Cookbook is that the recipes aren't intimidating to try, and the ones I have tried have been hard to mess up. Many that I've done even allow some wiggle room for me to make substitutions or eliminations (for mushrooms, for example) that don't cause the final product to be an inedible mess.
I strongly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys cooking, or is looking for some great, easy, family friendly recipes! Please check it out!

Getting into the summer routine
Hitting up summer vacation can be tricky in our house, because John is suddenly both home all the time, and never at all, if that makes any sense. He's home during the day, which makes me get all screwed up figuring out what day of the week it is, but he's out a lot at night with rehearsals and gigs on the weekends.
Fortunately, we were able to have an enjoyable 4th of July weekend with hardly any rain, for the first time since summer started! We went to Hancock to visit my parents and see the fireworks there. We had a great time visiting the Friendly Farm, and taking Hannah to her first fireworks show! She did great, which was awesome. She only cried a little near the beginning, but got over it really fast!
I'm still working my 2 days a week schedule, which works out well for us doing things on the weekend, because I have a 4 day weekend. I just signed up for a knitting group as something new to do to get out of the house that is something that would be just for me. I already can't make it to the next meeting because it's Wednesday evening and John's got a rehearsal, but since they try to meet every other Wednesday or Thursday, I will be able to get to one probably on the 22nd. I'm looking forward to meeting some people in the area that aren't just at moms group (though the people I have met there are awesome).
Anyway, I wanted to share pictures from our latest trip to the Friendly Farm, but Blogger won't let me... I will keep trying though!
