Seven Minutes of Heaven

There is something to be said when a mom will wake up early during the summer to make fried tortillas with cinnamon and sugar for her kids. 

Some would call that "breakfast"

Others would call it a "poor choice"

I call it "seven minutes of heaven"

That's about how long they're quiet when they're eating. 

Try it. You'll like it.

Sweet 16, Homemade Strawberry Shortcake

Well the homemade shortcake muffins came out much better than expected.

All that's missing is the yummy strawberries and some cool-whip.

Oh, now that's more like it.

I'd say that's strawberry shortcake worth serving for a sweet 16 birthday. Wouldn't you?

Who's Hungry

Homemade strawberry shortcake in the works for Daughter 1's 16th birthday.

I like to put a little coconut rum in with my strawberries; it helps bring the flavor out.

(and it's a great excuse to visit the liquor store)
