In this picture....I'm eight months pregnant, all our belongings are packed and we are heading north. I took one last look out the window of the uhaul (with my five year old daughter and husband) and said good bye to all I've ever known. You ask, "How did it all come to this?". Thinking back I remember those 4 little words.."GET A NEW JOB!!". Little did I know how powerful that sentence would be. Two years have passed and we have made some changes...a new home, new friends, new school, new church, and a third little girl! The best part about the move is that I am able to stay at home and take care of my family and do the one thing that I love .. cook, cook, cook!
You might say that I am a mix between Paula Deen and Sandra Lee. I sound like Paula and cook with real butter, however if there is a short cutt that I can take, I am there! For those of you who think that you can't cook, I am here to prove you wrong. I have fail proof recipies that will have your family begging for more. The first one that I am going to share with you is one that I like to have sitting on my table with every meal, my good ole' Southern Sweet Tea...
- Medium-sized pot, fill it half full with water
- 3 large tea bags, or 6 small ones
- Turn your burner on high until it boils (...and grab your daily devotional, you'll have time to read one!)
- Once it boils, turn it off and let the tea steep in the pot (...and read a least one blog!)
- Put one cup of sugar in a pitcher, take the tea bags out, and add the tea, while it is still warm to the pitcher.
- Fill the pitcher with two big handfulls ice and water to the top of the pitcher, and stir-Done!
Now ya'll go and make you some and have it sitting on your table for dinner tonight. Don't tell them what it is, just let them take a sip and watch the smiles take over their faces.
As my grandmother always says "We'll treat you so many ways your're bound to like one of 'em. So ya'll come back now ya hear!".
God Bless you and your Southern Sweet Tea,
Quiche Me I'm Yours
