Absolute Deliciousness!!


I have a new favorite dish! I have made this a few times now, and everyone loves it (me more than some).

Sweet Pork Taco's with Cilantro Lime Slaw

Now in my opinion, the meat itself is good, but nothing to write home to mom about (Mom, you should still try it), but what really makes this meal is the coleslaw! It gives it just the right POW that it needs! You should really tell your mom about this, and everyone else you know!
My family doesn't eat the slaw, because they are all picky, that just means more for me!!
When I eat this together it is like that sequence in Disney's Ratatouille when the Remy is describing the flavors to his brother, and when you put 2 different flavors together it is like fireworks. It really is that good!!
I found the recipe here at one of my favorite blogs, Make It And Love It

It looks really pretty with the red cabbage, but I usually use the green packaged coleslaw, because it is easier. I also add a little jalapeno and green onions to the slaw, and more lime juice, and my family eats the taco's with cheese. I like to have a little avocado and sour cream with mine too.

I highly recommend giving this recipe a try! It is DELISH!!!



Are you hungry?

How about some donuts?
or a little bowl of popcorn,
PB&J with chips?
or do you prefer a nice deli sandwich?
How about a breakfast for champions?
or a nice fruit tray
And of course, no meal at the Graham's house would be complete without pizza!
you just need to decide between cheese or combo, or maybe just pepperoni and mushroom?
And if you wish, you can pack it all up in a nice picnic lunch for on the go fun!
Are you hungry yet? This is some of the felt food that I made for Jackson's birthday gift. He loves to get it out and cook with it. I found some small utensils and bowls in the dollar sections at Target and Joann's, so he has some nice tools to use.
He also has a banana,with a removable peel, some carrots, a whole orange and a few other small pieces. So far it has been loads of fun! I feel much better with him playing with this stuff rather than the cheapo plastic junk that you get at the store.
Besides, it was all cooked up with love!

Look Who's Two!!

Can you believe it has been 2 years since this little ball of energy came into our lives? Today we celebrated his birthday with friends. We had a really fancy party with Hot dogs and cupcakes. These weren't just any cupcakes, but cupcakes shaped like dinosaurs and vintage cars. (the crown was a little big, but he looks cute with elf ears!!)
Jackson had a special crown for the occasion. I matched his birthday shirt, and banner.
It is kind of hard to see, but this is a pretty cool banner that says HAPPY BIRTHDAY. It was fun to make.
This is Jackson's birthday cupcake. I found a really cute pan that has vintage car molds, and also one with dino molds. They turned out awesome!
Jackson playing with his gifts. The best was his own set of pots and pans, and a set of felt food that I have been making him. (I will post better pics of the food later)
You also get a better picture of his birthday shirt here too.
All of the guests got to decorate their own cupcakes. That way the could have a custom car. (and I didn't have to decorate them all myself)

This one belongs to JT. Talk about sugar overload!
Jackson enjoyed himself, especially the cake, and the oreo cookie wheels!

More monsters.

One more project for the monster bathroom. Who could resist going potty on this seat?
Looks good in the whole ensemble, don't you think?

A little bit O' green


Lunch for the kids on St. Patrick's day had to be green. Homemade green bread, green grapes, green snap peas, and green vanilla pudding with green sprinkles and little cookies in the green hearts!
