An Apple A Day

Lately Jack has been eating his fair share of apples especially if someone else is eating one! He is a little moocher.

Here he is helping daddy eat his apple.

Beach - Day 2

Today was more of the same beach, eat, pool, eat more then sleep! Great day! One of our eats for the day was going to "Robert Irvine's Eat!" He is a chef that has done shows on the Food Network like "Dinner Impossible" and "Restaurant Impossible." His food did not disappoint!

He is eating it like corn on the cob! He also eats his bananas and hotdogs like this. Have you ever seen anyone do this? Never crossed my mind but then again he does march to his own beat! I love that little boy!

It's summer time!

One of the things we like to do is have picnics in the summer. While we were sitting here an older lady walked by and said "oh an old fashioned picnic, you don't see that very often anymore." I guess it is still old fashioned even if you stop and pick up Chick-fil-a on the way! Anyway, we have fun and I'm sure we will have a few more before the summer is over!

Happy Donut Day!

Today was National Donut Day so for the third year in a row we went to get a free donut!  I guess it's becoming our summer tradition. This year and last we went to Krispy Kreme because you don't have to buy anything to get your free donut. Dunkin Donuts gives them away too BUT you have to buy a drink to get a "free" donut. This year we brought Holly and Aspen with us to share in the fun. Thank you Krispy Kreme for the free donut again!

Must Eat!

This is a must eat recipe! It is simply wonderful! I have never been a big green bean fan but I could eat these all day long! You have to try them. They are pretty easy to make, the hardest thing being washing the beans and stringing them but if you get the stringless kind it is really easy. You will not be disappointed. I am thinking right now when I am going to eat them next! Seriously they are delicious!

This is a recipe I got off Tasty Kitchen. You can click on any of the highlighted words to get there.

Maple Bacon Wrapped Green Beans

Recipe Description

A delicious, sweet and salty gluten-free appetizer.

Preparation Instructions

Grease a cookie sheet with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 400ºF.

Wash beans and salt and pepper them, lightly. Grab 5-6 beans and group them together. (I normally grab 8)

Wrap the cluster with a piece of bacon and place them, seam side down, on a greased baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the beans.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat butter, brown sugar and maple syrup until melted. Using a brush, liberally apply the butter mixture over the green bean bundles until covered.

Bake for 40-45 minutes until the edges of the beans and the bacon are crispy and brown.

Ingredients

• 1 pound Fresh Green Beans
• Dashes Of Salt And Pepper
• 8 strips Bacon (turkey Or Regular)
• 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter
• 1-½ teaspoon Brown Sugar
• 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup

Pancake Pantry

Over the holiday we went to Tennessee to visit with family. It was a fun weekend that included a wedding, pancakes and swimming! One place we like to eat at when we can is the Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg. So we loaded up the whole family and a good friend and ate some pancakes! The kids loved it because they got M&M pancakes. I highly recommend this place if you are visiting the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg area!

Jesse eating his pancake, 4 pieces of bacon and an egg! He was one hungry boy!

I kinda cut his face off but I was trying to get him and the pancake in the picture. He was pretty excited about his pancakes as you can tell by the smile on his face!
