Cooking and having fun

When I was in Utah for three weeks I stayed some of the nights with my granddaughter Halley. One of the first things we cooked together was Valentine cookies. They turned out great and were delicious.

Then Halley told me she had some black bananas that her husband thought should be thrown away. She told him no way, that is when her mom made banana bread. We went to the family recipes and found my old recipe and made these two loaves that turned out delicious.

Then my sister Annette had been making sour dough bread so Halley decided that maybe while I was there I could help her make bread for the first time.

This was a recipe off the Western Family yeast packet. Very easy and you can see the loaves raised beautifully.

It also tasted great.

We started at four in the afternoon after Halley had been at school. We had to go shopping to get some of the ingredients but had everything baked by the time Ryan got home from work.

This is Molly, Ryan and Halley's dog. When the bedroom door was open she slept with me. I woke up one morning and Molly's head was on my knees and since my camera was close, walla a picture. She is a Corky and is so much fun, I just love her.

Then at my mothers I decided to take a nap on the couch and Scamp decided to nap with me. Scamp is a Yorky with a tomahawk cut. He just loves my Mom. He sleeps at her side all day long.
When he isn't by her side she is asking where he is.
