Weekly Meal Plan

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 8, 2012 Monday Meal

I’m in such a baking mood. It’s more than a mood. It’s a craving. I need to bake. Need yet. Like an addiction. Good thing I have a friend who’s expecting a baby in just a few weeks. I have many goodies in mind that I want to make for her. Of course, I have [...]

Peanut Butter Twix Bars

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 5, 2012 Dessert

It’s National Shortbread Day! I bet you didn’t even know. To celebrate, I’m making up some homemade Twix bars. Why homemade Twix bars you ask? Because hidden under a layer of rich, dark chocolate there’s a layer of oh-so-creamy peanut butter. Under that creamy layer is a melt-in-your-mouth, brown-sugar layer of shortbread. Oh yes. I [...]

Winter and Resolutions

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 3, 2012 Wordless Wednesday

Winter is a difficult season for me. It always has been, but it seems to be getting harder with each passing year. It’s more than the cold. It’s more than the snow. It’s more than the endless days of cloudy, gray and gloom. It’s more than being trapped inside. It’s something deep inside me. In [...]

Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Soup

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son January 1, 2012 Dinner

Two days ago I was kind of complaining that we didn’t have a white Christmas. There was a dusting of snow on the frozen ground, but it wasn’t even enough to cover the brown grass. There’s nothing festive about brown grass. Brown, dead grass just doens’t sparkle like fresh snow does on a sunny day. [...]

Weekly Meal Plan

We’ve Had…A Year

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son December 27, 2011 Wordless Wednesday

We’ve had some trying days lately. Days when I’m not sure how I’ll make it through without tears. Mine. And the boys. Days with a simple moment of sweetness that somehow make it all worth while. We’ve had quiet days, filled with popsicle sticks, glue, paint and markers. We’ve had Christmas moments made priceless by [...]
