Cat Kisses

Cat Kisses
Sandpaper kisses
on a cheek or a chin
that is the way
for a day to begin

Sandpaper kisses
a cuddle and a purr
I have an alarm clock
that's covered in fur!

I AM Somebody

I am Somebody!

I'm a peacemaker, not a troublemaker
I'm friendly, kind, and forgiving
I'm strong and willing
Teach me and I'll learn
Help me and I'll grow
I am somebody!

COLORFUL CHICKEN ALFREDO

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 quarts water
8-10 bouillon cubes

1 quart water
1 tbsp salt
1/2 lb farfalle noodles

1/2 cup reserved chicken broth
3 tbsp butter
1 cup half and half
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt and pepper each

1 tbsp butter
1 red bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper

6 leaves fresh basil chiffonade

Directions

Place rinsed chicken and 8-10 bouillon cubes in a large pot and cover with 2 quarts of water. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for 20 mins until chicken is done. Remove chicken to a cutting board and let sit until cool enough to handle, then cut into bite sized pieces. Strain the broth and save 1/2 cup. Keep the rest of the broth in the fridge (up to 1 week) or freezer for later use (great for making rice!).

Boil farfalle noodles with at least 1 quart of water in a large pot with 1 tbsp salt for 11 mins (or according to pkg instructions).

In a small saucepan, heat the 1/2 cup reserved chicken broth and 3 tbsp butter over medium heat until the butter is melted. Add 1 cup half and half, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/2 tsp salt and pepper, each. Stir to combine, then slowly whisk in the 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Let simmer, whisking occasionally.

Slice bell peppers into matchsticks. Melt 1 tbsp butter over medium high heat, then saute bell peppers for about 5-6 mins. Add in chopped chicken and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine flavors. Turn heat down to low and pour the cream sauce over the chicken and bell peppers. Stir to combine- let simmer.

Chiffonade the basil, drain and plate the noodles, then toss with the chicken, bell peppers and sweet alfredo sauce. Top with basil.

HANNAH AS A BABY.....

A Baby is a Miracle


This little tiny baby
Was sent from God above
To fill our hearts with happiness
And touch our lives with love
He must have known
We'd give our all
And always do our best
To give our precious baby love
And be grateful and so blessed

Emma As A Baby......

they grow up way to fast but Emma was the cutest baby.

The Cupcakes By Emma And Hannah

KITCHENS

A HOME IS MADE OF MANY ROOMS
TO REST, TO SLEEP, TO SHOWER
TO PLAY, AND READ, AND TALK A LOT,
DO HOBBIES BY THE HOUR

BUT THE KITCHEN, AH, THE KITCHEN
IS A ROOM THAT'S MADE OF DREAMS
OF FANTASIES...CREATED BY
A LOVE OF COOKING SCHEMES

TO TOUCH, TO SMELL, TO VISUALIZE
THE WONDERS THAT OCCUR...
AND THEN TO TASTE, AND THEN TO TASTE
RESULTS OF THINGS THAT WERE

AT ONE TIME JUST "INGREDIENTS,"
IN THEIR PLACES ON THE SHELVES
BUT BECOME A WONDROUS MIXTURE
AS THOUGH TRANSFORMED BY ELVES

YES, A HOME IS MADE OF MANY ROOMS
EACH ONE HAS IT'S PLEASURES
BUT THE KITCHEN IS THE BEST OF ALL
FOR FINDING HIDDEN TREASURES. Emma and Hannah made these at Church they are way to cute to eat. Rhonda
