    Megan you are such an inspiration. I love the way you Mother but most of all I love the way you love your husband. More women need to show their husbands how special they are to them. Chocolate chip cookies are a wonderful way to love Josh.

    Yay! A cooking video! Sometimes you just get stuck in a "food rut" and need new recipe inspiration. The monster cookies, rice krispie pinwheels, and even the pasta salad would be great to pack for school lunches. I will definitely be trying those for my kiddos! Thanks for the inspo!

    Mennonites and food bring back a lot of memories - meals in St. Jacob's, Ontario, the market in Kitchener, Ontario, and the lovely Mennonite ladies that came to the large Signatures Christmas Craft Show in downtown Toronto, with their huge assortment of Christmas cookies that we could pick and mix! My most poignant memory involves my dad. 35 years ago he was diagnosed with cancer in Feb and passed away in Aug. For my birthday in March, he gave me a lovely large Mennonite cookbook, and wrote in it. It's here in Brittany, France with me, and I used it a lot when my son was young! All your recipes here look delicious!

My stepmom was going to give me the rest from last year. I'm going over on Saturday, maybe she still will? I learned how to cook in 2010 when I moved in here. My friend taught me how to read a recipe, it helped so much. And my blind friend (he passed with type 1 diabetes), he taught me how to read the back of like a mac and cheese box because I had to find the temperature.

    Megan, I had so much fun in Sugarcreek. The restaurant was so good. But we accidentally ordered way too many onion rings, and the salad wasn't that great, but they have the best Ruebens ever!! We saw the Cuckoo clock. I had such a good time on the trip. And we drove to see the Kirtland Temple, which was just bought by the mainstream LDS church. I learned a lot about the early saints. Also, we saw the Joseph Smith home, they had a replica of the first hymnal, which I never would have been able to read. we stayed in Cuyahoga Falls. We also saw "Inside Out 2", which I highly recommend.

    Flour tortillas have fat/oil in them and they puff when heated. For fun place oven safe cereal bowls upside down on a cookie sheet and lay a tortilla over the bowl and bake 350 till very brown. Fill with taco fixins. The kids can eat the filling and break off pieces to dip in the center. I use soft taco size tortillas

Can’t wait to make the krispies treats though I think I’ll just leave them flat. Something to add to your wish list: a big serrated bread knife. They are great for so many things-bread of course, but also tomatoes, those rice krispy treats, etc. I love Wusthof brand but it’s best to try them out and see which size/weight works best for you. Thanks so much for your time and inspiration.

    Please rethink using Aldi as your main staples. A lot of their products are changing now. They are using a lot of bio engineered food products in their food and it didn’t used to be this way. Even their organic broth now has oil and flour in it, which has nothing to do with making broth. I know you can’t keep up with everything because it’s insane, but those are things that i find important, so I always pass it along in case someone else does too.

    For the pinwheel krispie bars, maybe line the pan with parchment and use that to help roll the log. Just a thought.
