On a Roll!!

So it's only the 4th of January, 2012 and I think I've already posted more than I have since this whole idea popped in to my head!!! So to add a little spice and variety to the show, I've decided to share the recipe I just made - that is LOVED by all of my family!! It's super easy and quite delicious!

Sausage, Peppers and Potatoes

Ingredients:
2-3 lbs Potatoes (amt to your liking)
1 Red Pepper
1 Green Pepper
(You can add other Peppers for Color and Taste to your liking)
1 Red or Yellow Onion
2 Rings Hillshire Farm Sausage (I use Beef, but Turkey is also really good!)
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
Chop Vegetables in to bite size chunks (you can either peel potatoes or not)
Place Veges on Baking Sheet covered with Parchment Paper or sprayed well with cooking spray
Drizzle Olive Oil over veges, then add salt and pepper to taste

Cook Veges ALONE for 45-50 minutes

Slice Sausage, and after Veges have cooked, add Sausage on top of veges and cook for an additional 20-25 minutes.

Viola - dinner is DONE and not many dishes to clean!!!

Enjoy!!!

New Years Resolution

My poor little blog has really been severely neglected this year. However, with good reason!! In just a few short days, 17 days to be exact, I'll be moving my family to Perth Australia. It has been an absolutely crazy crazy year, but I've decided along with our move, I'll be MUCH more active on this blog. I've learned lots about knitting, thanks to all of my friends at the Denver Library, and have read lots of fabulous books. So stay tuned, and get ready for the ball to get rolling...and I mean it this time. I've got several knitted items to share, and while my yarn may be on it's way to Australia, I'll be knitting all the while!

Book Recommendation

Ok, so I've put this blog on the back burner a bit, but here I with my first book recommendation of the new year. Signora DaVinci by Robin Maxwell. For those of you who enjoyed The Girl with the Pearl Earring and The Other Boleyn Girl, here is just another fabulous historical fiction novel. I did find it to drag a bit towards the end, but I found the religious element to be slightly unnecessary. However, I find the time period deliciously intriguing and I think I'll be putting more of Robin Maxwell's books on my list!!!

If you've read it, I'd love to hear your feedback as my book club will be discussing it this weekend. Should be fun and I can't imagine anyone not liking it!!

Happy reading!!! And please feel free to send me any book recommendations!!

Here we go!!!!

Ok, so I'm still a little new to this whole blogging thing, but thought - hey, what the heck. And there's nothing I love more than reading blogs about knitting, books and cooking to get ideas. So here I am adding to the mix of the other 3 million blogs out there about the same thing!!

My hope is to discuss my current knits and may throw out a few pleas for help as I'm a fairly new knitter (only about 1 1/2 years experience) but I LOVE trying new things. I'll post pictures of my projects and hopefully can inspire a few of you to join me in my love for this old, but wonderful hobby!!! I absolutely love that it's coming back in style to knit and love doing it.

I will also keep you posted on my current reads. I've been a little slow reading as of lately. Maybe it's my knitting or my two lovely toddlers who keep me so busy, so I'm hoping this blog will inspire me to read a little more and you to fill me in on all the good reads that are out there!!!!

Finally, I LOVE to cook. So I'm hoping to share a few of my favorite recipes and am always looking for kid friendly foods, as my little peanuts are not so in to food right now!!

I hope you'll enjoy this blog and please, ANY suggestions or help are always welcome!! Let's let the fun begin!!!!
