Two on Tuesdays | Cookbooks

The anticipation was killing me. Patience is not my greatest virtue...to be honest it isn't even in my repertoire of virtues! As soon as I joined the group Tuesday with Dorie I ran right out to Barnes and Noble to buy the book, O-M-G was it ever expensive. I didn't care, I was set to buy it anyway, except they only had one really beat up copy, and since I plan to beat up my own copy, I decided to I better go new. With all the money I saved by buying at Amazon, I went ahead and threw in Hello, Cupcake too!

I can not wait to get started on my first recipe as a Tuesdays with Dorie baker, this week is Applesauce Spice Bars...yummy! I really hope they taste as awesome as their picture looks, I need to collect a ton of apple recipes to have on hand for the fall. Every year we visit Carter's Mountain Orchard in Charlottesville, VA and bring home a billion apples, so many that I end up giving tons away to friends and family.

And these next two are cookbooks that I'd like to purchase. Thank God for FoodNetwork online, it's afforded me the opportunity to pretend I'm Ina on a regular basis, but I think I'm ready to own one of her cookbooks. I'd plan to start collecting cookbooks, and no collection would be complete without Ina's Barefoot Contessa.

If you're not already familiar with Jaden Hair of the Steamy Kitchen, then you're really missing out. She produces some super amazing food, is an awesome blogger, and has a new cookbook for sale on Amazon.

Two on Tuesdays | A Little Music

I can't believe another week has come and gone. New this week, Aidan is now completely addicted to PlayStation... just great... I have no idea what my husband was thinking when he introduced this item to my children. This is now yet another thing they fight over, and they are fighting ugly I tell ya. I had to take them all to the pool yesterday just to get a break from the game playing, screaming, hitting insanity!

This is however, how I came up with the first item on my Two on Tuesday's list... if you have never seen/heard this video, well prepare to be amazed and absolutely amused!



Anita Renfro | Momsense. Now wasn't that HIL-AR-I-OUS!

And here is my new favorite kids song... our kids are so spoiled, their music is just so much cooler than ours was.



Cathy and Marcy along with Christylez, how awesome are they.

Two on Tuesdays

Starting something new... Two on Tuesdays. Each Tuesday I'll post a list of 2 new things - maybe it's 2 things I own and love, 2 things I can't live without, 2 things that really tick me off... whatever!

So for today's Two on Tuesdays I'll start with 2 things I love: one I already own, and one on my wish list.

Jill-e Small Camera bag | bone

I can't say enough awesome things about this bag. It's seriously stylish, and totally functional, what more can you ask for? Well, I could ask for it to be cheaper, but you can't have it all right.

Cuisinart PowerPrep Plus 14-Cup Food Processor

A girl can dream right. I want this in a bad way, it would make my life so much easier, especially now that I'm getting more into making my own dough... ah well, one day maybe.
