How to make...
Cheese Grits!
Cheesy goodness is almost yours to have!! Too bad I failed to post this before the 4th, or you could have had the winning side dish for your 4th of July party!
Behold.....Cheese grits in all their glory!
Pair with whatever you like, but we prefer it with bar-b-que or steaks. You can also throw in some extra ingredients like green chiles, jalapenos, etc.
Behold the recipe....
- After the water is boiling, add all the ingredients except the eggs. Stir everything a few times and then reduce the heat.
- Use that mixture to temper the eggs....I promise that scrambled eggs in this add for quite a weird texture. I find that adding the cheese 1st helps reduce the temperature enough that the eggs will be less likely to scramble. This is the only tricky part to the whole thing, but I promise it's worth it, and it gets easier with every batch you make.
- This can be frozen and reheated for later! Still tastes great!
Now go forth and and spread the love of cheese grits to everyone!
You will be glad you did! I am quite convinced this can cure lung diseases and any other ailments my loyal followers might have!

the last three months
Things she has done:
Slept through the night (even though it's not a regular occurrence yet)
Finally rolled from back to front
Jumped in her jumperoo instead of just standing in it
Had her 1st Thanksgiving and Christmas
Gone up 2 diaper sizes....she's now rocking the 3s!
Started on solids (oatmeal, bananas, pears, avocados, and sweet potatoes)
Visited Texas and New Mexico twice!
Almost completely unsupported sitting
Met Santa
Trying to crawl
Laughed and talked
Melted her mama and daddy's heart on a daily basis
I just love this girl!

What to do on a 2 week vacation at "home"
Even though our home is in Tucson, my "home" where I feel all warm and fuzzy will probably always be the Texas Panhandle.
Please tell me that I'm not the only one who feels that way....
Well anyways, we are currently on the tail end of this wonderfully long Christmas break from AZ life. It's been pretty wonderful..there is something so beautiful and comforting about the barren flatness that is the Panhandle!
So what have we done during this stay..well I am gonna tell you...in list form because that seems to be my 2012 trend :-)
- Take a break
- Revert back to Annie's newborn sleeping schedule...I sure did miss those early morning hours....not...
- Take more breaks because of the above lack of sleep.
- Make 8 key lime pies completely from scratch...our new Christmas tradition!
- Take a break after making and sampling said pies....declare them perfection and lapse into a sugar coma.
- Load up the pies and take them to those friends and family members that are on our must see list....mind you this takes place over 3 days because of our little one who feels the need to either nap or have a melt down. (Don't worry Annie...your mom was the same way,well she still is...).
- Show off nearly 6 month old child to everyone in town....because she is something of a local celebrity. You should have seen everyone at church....she stole the show :)
- Take another break, because, well because you can!
- Soak up all the grandparent and great grandparent time that can be had by Annie in the span of 2 weeks. I hate that they are so far away!
- Attempt to order a new car...complete failure.
- Research cars that have the options that we want.
- Breathe in all the Texas air you can.
- Enjoy this break, spend time with family, escape reality, and make memories!
This is what we did on our 2 week break from reality!
(I realized after being back in AZ for 2 weeks that I failed to publish this....oops)
