happy easter!

family pictures from easter.

the awesomeness of faye's expressions in each picture makes me giggle.

if this is how they turn out NOW... imagine when she is 13!

i think she is thinking "HMPF. MORE pictures?"

now she is thinking " Wait, i forgot what i'm doing.. i'm bored. or suprised.. i can't decide."

fun with photobooth: mommy & faye

something delicious

i don't cook very well.. thus i don't cook very often. i tend to stick with the ten things i know and just go with that.
BUT i deep inside like to try new things and every once and a while i get up the courage (and the desire to go to the grocery store) and the outcome usually looks like THIS:
Grilled Eggplant with Ricotta & Tomato Basil Relish

i have no idea if i've ever eaten eggplant before- but i'm definitely a fan now!i loved the grilled tomatoes- but i used regular tomatoes off the vine & they were a bit too liquidy. i added a simple green salad with balsamic vinegar. it felt super healthy and was SO GOOD. and easy.
