A small part of that is that my computer died last December and I lost my continuum to keep posting. Another part is that my business has taken a different direction, away from Topiaries and directly into the food industry.<br />
<br />
I've been catering for 1 1/2 years now, on a part time basis. My business is called The Lunch Lady, catering to mostly the <span style="font-size: large;">office crowd</span><span style="font-size: small;">.</span><br />
<br />
I'll be posting on another blog much like this one, just another name!<br />
<br />
I just started it, so I haven't posted much yet. <br />
<br />
Just giving you a heads up!<br />

I always love rearranging the furniture (wonder where I get that from?) so it was fun to make a "new" room for the holidays.<br />Bill took three of the four boys Christmas tree hunting. He went to a local tree farm and found a beautiful 7 foot tree. It's the best one we have ever had! The boys and daddy had fun having snowball fights, hot cocoa, and cookies while Lance stayed home with me and made ornaments. I was inspired by another blog to make ornaments out of what we had lying around the house. I have many many doilies and buttons and shells.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SzN5R5ip75I/AAAAAAAABTM/vkSuPxxJSuQ/s1600-h/ornaments+171.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418808125067751314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SzN5R5ip75I/AAAAAAAABTM/vkSuPxxJSuQ/s400/ornaments+171.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />We desperately needed a tree topper.

I recently visited sister-in-law Linda and loved how she is re-arranging her home to welcome her new little one.<br /><br />It's so fun to change a room around. I have MANY memories of coming home from school to a "new" house. I think I caught your bug, Mom!<br /><br />We recently had our community group over for Bible Study. We literally doubled in number at our last meeting and the flow of the living room felt all wrong for the amount of people we had. It has bothered me for some time and today was the day to fix it! Plus, it requires some deep cleaning. Lotsa dust bunnies, marbles, cars, toys, did I mention dust bunnies? It's amazing what one finds under and behind things. Oh, and a paper airplane!<br /><br />The boys helped me move the piano. That thing is SO heavy, but they are strong together.<br /><br />The living room is such a large space and can be arranged several ways. We love our large round table. It is often a place where we play games or make large puzzles. Half of our furniture are "hand me downs" from Mom and Dad, beautiful antiques which really fill the space nicely.<br /><br />Here are some before and after pics.... (sorry, the ambience is really different between the two, the after pics are taken during daylight hours)<br /><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center">Before</div><div align="center"><br /> </div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SZ9MfPgnVWI/AAAAAAAABM0/sKFvXSsAuaU/s1600-h/Living+Room+002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305042985688716642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SZ9MfPgnVWI/AAAAAAAABM0/sKFvXSsAuaU/s400/Living+Room+002.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a>After<br /><br /></p><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SZ9OIII-mcI/AAAAAAAABNE/Wsf1kADx_oQ/s1600-h/living+room+makeover+081.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305044787596794306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SZ9OIII-mcI/AAAAAAAABNE/Wsf1kADx_oQ/s400/living+room+makeover+081.JPG" border="0" /></a> Before<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SZ9Me8Ib0zI/AAAAAAAABMs/v0A2gJ7WPjo/s1600-h/Living+Room+001.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305042980487025458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SZ9Me8Ib0zI/AAAAAAAABMs/v0A2gJ7WPjo/s400/Living+Room+001.JPG" border="0" /></a>After<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SZ9OHwGRryI/AAAAAAAABM8/H7TOP364GxE/s1600-h/living+room+makeover+080.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305044781143011106" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SZ9OHwGRryI/AAAAAAAABM8/H7TOP364GxE/s400/living+room+makeover+080.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Before<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SZ9Mejt8uuI/AAAAAAAABMk/uWlnJeuT81w/s1600-h/Living+Room+003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305042973933484770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SZ9Mejt8uuI/AAAAAAAABMk/uWlnJeuT81w/s400/Living+Room+003.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />After<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SZ9KSxhqdhI/AAAAAAAABMc/3RsPkVvf-SA/s1600-h/living+room+makeover+086.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305040572458366482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SZ9KSxhqdhI/AAAAAAAABMc/3RsPkVvf-SA/s400/living+room+makeover+086.JPG" border="0" /></a> I'm happy.

We consume it too fast.</div><div align="left"> </div>It's perfect for low sugar people or no-sugar people.<br /><br />There is no crust to make, in fact, all you do is make a quick batter to top the sliced apples.<br /><br />This recipe is adapted from "Swedish Apple Pie" from allrecipes.com<br /><br />It makes two "pies"<br /><br />I use about 5ish apples per pie, so you need about 10 medium apples.<br /><br />Here's the recipe:<br /><br />2 1/2 cups peeled and sliced<br />1 tsp cinnamon<br />1/2 cup agave nectar<br />1/2 cup melted butter<br />1 cup spelt flour (or another whole grain flour)<br />1 egg slightly beaten<br />pinch salt<br /><br />Preheat oven to 350.<br />Lightly grease 2 pie plates<br />Peel and slice the apples right into the pie plates<br />In medium bowl: Mix agave and melted butter. Mix in flour, cinnamon, egg and salt. Mix well and spread over apples. (It doesn't have to cover the entire thing, spread it thinly)<br />Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes till golden brown and bubbly.<br /><br />It's enough for about 6-8 people.<br /><br /><br />Someday I'll get a picture of it, someday.<br /><p><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/272/2F5E2F14ABFAE649A5C141AB2033E644.png" /></p>The Lunch Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10263238047918869738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468941130594453054.post-23986053877252531512009-01-15T10:31:00.003-05:002009-01-15T11:18:19.913-05:00Fun times in NC<div align="center"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SW9c7O_EGGI/AAAAAAAABJk/9evqXQaEnVs/s1600-h/christmas08lucas6thbdaysledding+067.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291550259888265314" style="DISPLAY: block;

Chances are, if someone brings something, its usually dessert. I guessed right and Jackie brought yummy frosted brownies. </p><p align="center">All the appetizers (not the desserts) are:</p><p align="center">dairy free, yeast free, whole grain, and sugar free<br /><br /></p></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU72a184uzI/AAAAAAAABIs/KWhFfnUT3fk/s1600-h/Cocktailparty+024.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282430353971657522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU72a184uzI/AAAAAAAABIs/KWhFfnUT3fk/s400/Cocktailparty+024.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><br />These are delicious "Chicken Lollipops"<br /><br />They are based on an Indonesian recipe that I found on my Dutch blog friend (www.kayotickitchen.com)<br /><br />I served them with Peanut satay sauce.<br /><br /></p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU72ansuAzI/AAAAAAAABIk/gVPH-s0V_Qo/s1600-h/Cocktailparty+025.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282430350145749810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU72ansuAzI/AAAAAAAABIk/gVPH-s0V_Qo/s400/Cocktailparty+025.JPG" border="0" /> </a><p align="center"><br />Here's my take on tacos.<br /><br />They are mini "pop in your mouth size" tacos. I used flat round tortilla chips, yellow and black sesame. </p><p align="center">I spread some refried beans on them, layered on sliced grape tomatoes, shredded mexican cheese, homemade salsa and a tiny dollop of sour cream (I piped it out of a sandwich baggie with the tip cut off)<br /><br /></p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU72aYOf8RI/AAAAAAAABIc/64AEvOQFrL0/s1600-h/Cocktailparty+026.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282430345992466706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU72aYOf8RI/AAAAAAAABIc/64AEvOQFrL0/s400/Cocktailparty+026.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><br />Next up we have Sage Turkey Sausage Bites with Balsamic Apricot Dip. I borrowed this one from Rachel Ray (off the Foodnetwork website).<br /><br />I changed the recipe to Turkey sausage because it's nearly impossible to find sausage without sugar. I found fresh Turkey sausage at the little market near by house! I also used white Balsamic Vinegar instead of Black, it has a much milder taste.<br /><br /></p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU72aEhzfbI/AAAAAAAABIU/Dp8fNzjzOy4/s1600-h/Cocktailparty+027.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282430340704730546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU72aEhzfbI/AAAAAAAABIU/Dp8fNzjzOy4/s400/Cocktailparty+027.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><br />This appetizer tasted much better than it looked. It's a Curry Chicken Pate that I made up. Basically a curried chicken salad that I pureed.<br /><br />I had roasted 4 chicken legs seasoned with curry a few days before the party. The chicken was SO tender and fell off the bone. I threw the chicken, organic mayo, curry powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in the food processor (my new best friend) and pureed it. It was SO delicious, fast and easy!<br /><br />I served it on whole wheat crackers with a slice of cucumber.<br /><br /></p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU72ZZrYUiI/AAAAAAAABIM/2SFbDDWVcuY/s1600-h/Cocktailparty+028.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282430329202168354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU72ZZrYUiI/AAAAAAAABIM/2SFbDDWVcuY/s400/Cocktailparty+028.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><br />Mini Vegetable Frittatas. These went quick (obviously)<br /><br />These are simply broccoli, eggs, splash of water, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bake them in mini muffin tins. Oh, and pecorino romano, sheep's cheese.<br /><br /></p><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU7zHz2EqTI/AAAAAAAABH8/VS3IXzgnIrw/s1600-h/Cocktailparty+031.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282426728453810482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU7zHz2EqTI/AAAAAAAABH8/VS3IXzgnIrw/s400/Cocktailparty+031.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><br />Meringues dusted with cocoa powder.<br /><br />Chocolate snowman, trees and stars drizzled with white chocolate and sprinkled by my boys.<br /><br /></p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU7zHeCvT6I/AAAAAAAABH0/5mephDlwmWs/s1600-h/Cocktailparty+032.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282426722601357218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU7zHeCvT6I/AAAAAAAABH0/5mephDlwmWs/s400/Cocktailparty+032.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><br />Oh, and my favorite all time, I should really only make it once a year treat...<br /><br /></p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU7zHOd531I/AAAAAAAABHs/kCXn9-RW3eQ/s1600-h/Cocktailparty+033.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282426718420328274" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_WGEOSN-LBKc/SU7zHOd531I/AAAAAAAABHs/kCXn9-RW3eQ/s400/Cocktailparty+033.JPG" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><br />Trifle!<br /><br />It's just a trifle too good.<br /></p><p align="center"><img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/272/2F5E2F14ABFAE649A5C141AB2033E644.png" /></p>The Lunch Ladyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10263238047918869738noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468941130594453054.post-48316192909718317872008-12-08T19:36:00.007-05:002008-12-16T09:20:17.559-05:00I made a wreath!<div align="center">Check out this great site!
