The Messy Kitchen

 I've decided if I had a cooking show it would be called "The Messy Kitchen".

That basically describes how I cook. Chad hates my days in the kitchen when he is on clean up duty.

Well today was a messy kitchen day!

After church, we headed to conquer Wal-mart. My hatred for that place grows every time we go. 

Thankfully I had back-up today- Chad and I hurried through as fast as we could.

I love groceries, once they are home and all put away. 

Today, with fall actually in the air, (it's in the 60's today) I made my fall food favorites!

Strawberry bread! I love bread, any kind will do, but strawberry bread is especially yummy.

It's easy to make and makes a lot. I usually freeze a dozen for later so it will last.

And because moist muffins will grow mold extra fast in Galveston. Thanks Galveston.

We are trying sunflower oil now. Chad says it is a little bit healthier than regular. 

Hey, maybe this will help with my new talent of frying food. 

I also have a new favorite trick- frozen fruit!

I never have time to eat breakfast in the morning but I will drink smoothies.

So I buy lots of bananas and freeze them.

Remember to take the peel off!

Frozen bananas+yogurt+milk (whole milk of course)+ lots of Hershey chocolate syrup=

A perfect Whitney breakfast smoothie:)

Another fall favorite: hamburger soup.

It's a family recipe and favorite! 

I have already posted the recipe for hamburger soup here

Last, I made, as I like to call them, the Rolo Sandwich.

Put a Rolo candy on a Ritz cracker, stick it in the oven at 350 for 4 minutes,

stick another cracker on top when they come out of the oven and are squishy.

They are pretty good- salty and sweet but Chad and I both decided we just rather eat Rolos.

Now to go clean my messy kitchen...

If you have a cooking show do they clean the kitchen for you?
