Snickers is Amazing!

The other day my boy cherub wasn't feeling too well before church.

My reply, as it almost always is, "let's try and if you don't feel better, or if you get worse, we'll come home."

He started feeling a bit better.

During the service, my girl cherub leaned on me and said, "Momma, my tummy isn't feeling great."

To their defense, neither looked like they felt very well. But you know, we can't go entirely on looks!

After the service, she went to rest behind the Welcome desk . . .

that makes a good impression!

In an attempt to help her tummy settle, I said, "Hey! Go back to the preschool area and ask them for a cracker or a peanut butter cracker."

Her reply, "Mom! I'm gluten free!'

All I can say is this: "thank goodness we're gluten free by choice at this point! If it were a life-and-death situation, I probably would have already killed her by giving her gluten!"

So, the Mr.'s right hand lady said, "There's some peanut butter over in the office area."

She gave us the key and off we went.

Found the peanut butter.

Looked, and looked, and looked for a utensil.

Couldn't find one.

But I did find a fun-sized snickers candy bar!

That's right!

I unwrapped that candy bar and dug deep into the peanut butter.

Gave it to my cherub.

Guess what!

Amazingly, within no time at all, she was feeling better!

That's what I call being a great mom!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
