Cooking Cook's. Love Using My Name As a Pun :).

....Life in the Cook Household.... 

Back to Normal-I'd say-Thankfully!  

-Much needed skypage time with our families

-Long overdue time with friends

-Semi-relaxing weekend that was spent doing exactly what we wanted when we wanted :).

-Cooking

I found some fun looking recipes on a few food blogs that I follow--daily :).  This past weekend we tried a few out.  Yummmmmmm...Our bellies were content and oh sooo full!

Wheat Thins

Seth rolling out the dough for wheat thins.

Seth is usually our dough rolling man.  He is a lot more patient and gentle with dough-whereas I'm aggressive and will manhandle that dough.  Therefore dough usually isn't fond of me-and will never do as I ask.

Cut up wheatthins-ready for bakeage.

Wheat thins :)

As you are probably noticing-we did not take the care to particularly cut these wheat thins into squares.  We were going moreso for the cracker taste rather than appearances :).

Yumminess.

We didn't have wheat flour (which is what the recipe calls for).  We used regular flour and they turned out very good.  We will probably buy wheat flour for our future wheat thins--

Beef Stir Fry with Sesame Noodles

I just had to post a picture of the yummy meat marinating.

It looks yummy.

Oh soooo Good!

Happy fella.

Needless to say my husband's palate was extremely pleased this weekend :). 

We are intensely working on the menu and daily activities that our April visitors will entail-Whoop :).

I am currently reading 'The Red Tent' by Anita Diamant with Laurie and Sarah.  We are trying to do this long distance book club deal where we read and then are able to skype.  Mainly to see each other and stay in touch-but also to discuss the book some.

Utah is still dumping snow on us-last night we were lucky enough to receive a few more inches :).  Seth was lucky enough to clean a few inches off and around my car with such a happy heart :)-he has started doing happy dances in the morning when it is above freezing and he doesn't have to scrape ice off my car.  Wish you all could be witnesses of that!  :).

Happy evening-and bless you all this week!

The Cook's :).
