Random Thoughts from HomeJust a couple of thoughts to share with my amazing family! Congrats to Lindsay and Patrick and their soon to be new addition to the family! We welcome their little one as we do little Alexander Douglas who will be born this July! Our family is really growing.
We also want to let Maran and Devin and Courtney know how much we appreciated having them in our home and how much we miss them! Wouldn't have missed those months for anything. And the opportunity to watch Courtney grow was priceless! Thanks!
If you haven't checked out Maran's blog lately, you have to go there and see her latest video. Makes me laugh every time!
I also want to thank each of you for your participation in our family fast for Brady and Zach. It is so great to be able to call upon you and feel of your love and concern for our littlest boys. In case you didn't know I keep a list of what I call 'comfort scriptures' in the back of my scriptures. I turn to them for peace in times of trial. Let me share one of my favorites. It's found in Psalms 37:5 - 'Commit thy ways unto the Lord, trust also in him and he shall bring it to pass". I know that if I am faithful and trusting it will all work out. Maybe not as fast as I'd like but it will work out. Keep praying for the boys and know how much Dad and I love each of you!
Recipe of the Day
They served this at the Relief Society breakfast and we are hooked.
5 eggs 3/4 cup half-and-half (we used milk)
3/4 cup of milk 1 tsp vanilla
12 slices texas toast (we get this cheap at the discount bread store)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup light brown sugar
2 Tbls karo syrup
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter, brown sugar and karo syrup in saucepan over medium heat until smooth. Stirring occasionally. While mixture is melting, whisk eggs, milk, half-and-half and vanilla. Spray cookie sheet with Pam. Pour mixture from sauce pan onto cookie sheet. Drip slices of bread in batter and then rub on cookie sheet to spread caramel mixture. Bake in oven until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes. Top with powdered sugar. Dad tried syrup on them instead of powdered sugar but it was too sweet. The powdered sugar is just the right touch! Enjoy.
We love you!!!
