Pear Bread

First off I have to mention that mom took me to Vidler's yesterday. A fun store in East Aurora, NY. Loved their cooking section!! I could go nuts in there if I had any decent amount of money, lol.

We got a basket of fruits from henry's dad and stepmom for Christmas. My girls devoured all the apples but I still had some pears left. So when you have pears...make Pear Bread!!

I got the recipe from Allrecipes.com.

Pear Bread II

It's really good, enjoying some right now with a cup of coffee!

New List for 2010

I think my new list will be a bit easier to keep up with

• Darwin Martin House - a place mom mentioned.
• Forest Lawn - Seriously the most beautiful cemetary ever!
• Millionaires' Row - think this would be a nice walk.
• Elmwood Ave - A day to spend walking, photographing and shopping.
• Delish - one of the must see shops on Elmwood!
• Elmwood village Fabrics - yet another must see shop.

I'll add more later....must actually get some housework done right now.

Last year I made this list.....

This List.

Needless to say we went to not one of those places! Within the next few days I will be creating a new, more attainable list, lol! Mom....how come we didn't go to any of these places???

Merry Christmas

I may be a day late ...But Merry Christmas to everyone!!

Easy Taco Pie and nope I'm still here....

Taco Pie

1 lb ground beef

1/2 c. salsa

2 tbsp taco seasoning

1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

2 eggs

1 c. milk

1/2 c. baking mix

In a lage skillet cook beef, stir in salsa and taco seasoning. Transfer to a greased 9 in pie plate, sprinkle with cheese. In a bowl, combine eggs, milk and baking mix, just until blended, pour over cheese. Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes. Serves six.

Quick, easy and gets devoured quickly! Got the recipe frome Taste of Home's Quick Cooking Jan/Feb 2003 issue. Changed it a little to suit our family's taste. In other words I left out 1 large onion chopped and 1/4 tsp of pepper. There's enough onion in the salsa for my taste.

Today I'll be baking with pumpkin and apples. And there will be some pumpkin carving going on here. So hopefully I'll have some photos of that to share with you. If I can keep my children off my computer I may be able to spend a little more time here. :)
