I have a confession. I fell off my resolution wagon.. THUD.. THUD..

BUT I am back and with a vengeance!! Today is a new month and I truly want to stick to my resolutions.

March’s goal is Sourdough Bread.

    Don't feel bad Brandi... I have a few bruises too from falling off that wagon but I am not giving up. Its March 1st! Time to start over. Thank you for directing me to the torilla recipe. I want to try that next time I need them. I am really trying to make everything I can from scratch.

    Want you to know I do read your blog everytime you post... unfortunately blogger doesn't always let me post like I want too!

    Take Care,
    *hugs*

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Really? Meatloaf? Actually this is really good! We usually have it a few times a month. Super easy too! 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup ketchup 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef {I use 1 pound} 3/4 cup milk 2 eggs {I only use 1 egg} 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1 small onion, chopped 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 3/4 cup finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs {I usually use pretzels, I never seem to buy saltines} Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan. 2. Press the brown sugar in the bottom of the prepared loaf pan and spread the ketchup over the sugar. 3. In a mixing bowl, mix thoroughly all remaining ingredients and shape into a loaf. Place on top of the ketchup. 4. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until juices are clear. {source} What's for Dinner tonight in your house?

One Month to love book review

This book is divided into 30 short chapters that cover all different aspects of relationships in your life. Some people are more easy to love than others, and this definitely helps with the difficulties involved in some people. Some things in this book are very predictable.

All with spray paint, I even used the 97 cent walmart black :) We started out by picking the word we wanted. Printed it out until we found the size and font that fit. We came up with this. Then my si
