Chocolate Pizza!!!

This morning I got to go to the grocery store alone. It was amazing! I didn't feel rushed or stressed. I was able just to shop off my list at my own pace without picking children off the floor or asking them to stop touching items. While there I got a craving for Decadent Chocolate Dessert Pizza so I added the ingredients to my grocery list. During nap time I quickly whipped up the dessert.

all the ingredients laid out on my stone

Shape cookie dough into a ball and roll out onto stone

 Place on top of chocolate

 

 

 Enjoy!!!

I've been busy lately! Recently, I have had several inquiries about photo sessions and completed 3 in the past 3 week with another one scheduled for Friday (newborn pics, perhaps my favorite!!) As of now I am booked until mid-September with the exception of new babies that need to be photographed right away!

I have also been busy around the house and with the girls. Last, Thursday my mother-in-law called to say she had green beans from her garden for us and my grandma also had several that we were able to pick. The following day I blanched and froze about 6 cups of beans! Its a small amount but it will make a difference this winter! There are more to come this week :)

Saturday, my sisters, dad, the kiddos and I hit the Conewago Trail in Hershey and ran/ biked 8.25 miles, stopped for icecream at the Jigger Shop and than ran/biked back. I ran 13 miles of the total trip and biked the rest. My the end of the night my body was less than thrilled with me but by the next morning I felt great!!!! So good infact that I bought a bike off craigslist on Sunday and am hoping to go more often with Eric and the girls.

Sunday night we went to Rawlinsville Camp Meeting for the Naval Academy Band. I love being at camp and spending time with wonderful friends!! Its also so much fun to see our children becoming friends!!  At camp Amy hooked me up with some peppers and zucchini from her parents garden (FYI: I dont turn down free food)! So Monday morning I chopped and froze about 4 cups of green peppers and grated and froze 10 cups of zucchini. Madeleine has been asking me at least once a day now since last week for "bread that mommy made" as a snack. Luckily for her Amy loved her mommy and she can have it all winter long :)

Monday afternoon the girls and I went over to my friend Lauren's house to go swimming with her, her son Matthew and friend April and her daughter Adriana. The girls and I had so much fun and the heat and water made for some tired little girls!

I am loving summer and all it has to offer!

I've been domestic lately

I've been domestic lately! Its summer which means it that one time of the year we have great fresh food available to us locally and I am trying to make the most of it. Last week I decided that we were going to have kabobs and corn on the cob for dinner. Because we have a charcoal grill, I NEVER grill but thankfully Eric had the day off and was willing to do some grilling for me. I put the cute little kabobs together and Eric made sure they cooked well on the grill, YUMMY!

Then we went over to Eric's uncles house on Sunday for a July 4th picnic. Eric's aunt sent us home with zucchini. So since I am not a fan of fresh zucchini, I did the only other thing I know to do with zucchini, bake bread with it. Even YUMMIER that the kabobs was the warm zucchini bread. I used a recipe from a lady at church and just added some flax seed to it. ( I add flax seed to lots of randome things, including mac n cheese). It was amazingly good!

After making the bread, I found out from my dearest friend, Amy, that you can grate and freeze zucchini for breads in the future so with my remaining zucchini, I did just that! Next time Aunt Kitty offers me zucchini I will be taking more than four :)

Finally, I had to repair the holes in the Eric's work pants. Here's where things start to get sad. First of all, I AM not a sewer. I do own a sewing machine, but it spends 99% of its time in its orignal box. Secondly, many of you will look at these pants and say "Megan, go buy new ones" but here in the Rohrer household we have to save $$ where we can and these pants have not made it to there life expectancy point. Believe it or not (if you know Eric you'll believe it) my huband has marked the purchase date inside his work pants and he has developed a schedule for when they can be replaced. I think they have to make it 10 years. Not sure but that's the date I have in my mind. Anyway, these pants are not there yet so out came my sewing machine and away I went.

my first attempt ended in my machine getting jammed alot, so I said, screw it, I am hand stitching, lol!!!!!

then  this is the inside of his pants for the second knee.

After chaning the thread things went much better!!

So then I went back to the first knee and reinforced it with the green thread.. lol..I love us!!

Its fun being domestic!!
