Andre's Class

He's the handsome guy in the center back with a gray shirt ☺
They're a great group of young people!



♥ these kids!!
My son really is this much taller than me!!
Would someone please tell me when this happened?!?!



Serena loves to run!

I like the look on her face in this one. Anticipation, joy,
a little apprehension.


The end of our school year is always very busy and involves lots of time in various activities. This past weekend Lin and I were one of two couples that went with our oldest son's Sophomore Class (as chaperons) to a cabin in the mountains for a weekend of fun and just hanging out, getting to know each other outside of a school setting. We had a lot of fun and I think they all enjoyed it. They sure do have a lot of energy!! We were blessed to be a part of their weekend.

Today was Track and Field for the 3 that attend a different school and so I spent most of the morning there cheering them on. It's always fun to see every ones enthusiasm and to catch up with the other Moms. ☺

Tomorrow is a day at the local Park for all of them but at different times and then Wednesday is the final day for the 3 in elementary with a School Picnic and ball games. Also on Wednesday High School has a ball game at the Park, again, with another High School from the area. Then on Friday is the last day of school for High School. Whew!! Makes me dizzy!! But I really hate missing anything so I'll run this little 'rat race' for a little while till it's over. ☺ Trying to divide my time between everything and everyone and preparing food for some of these events and still get my work done at home is a bit of a challenge but I'm sure you all know what it's like. ☺

I'm tossing around in my mind a recipe for some yummy grilled chicken I hope to make this week sometime, it involves honey, limes, Serrano peppers, a little garlic and maybe some ginger. And grilling. Can't wait to try it!

Thanks for stopping by. I'm off to watch two of the boys play ball. ☺

~Be Blessed!!~

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
