Recipes

So, the fact that I even have an entry titled "recipes" makes me chuckle a bit. Never one to spend much time being productive in the kitchen, I've gotten a little brave as of late and have made some pretty good attempts at some tasty delights. Here are a few:
Peppermint Bark
Melt 18oz. white chocolate.
Break apart candy canes into bits no bigger than 1/4 in.
mix that junk up in a bowl.
Add a splash of peppermint extract.
Pour over some parchment paper and chill for about 45 minutes.
Break that mess apart and eat it up.
Lazy Pierogie Casserole
Put yourself 5 lasagna noodles (al dente) in the bottom of a glass 9x13ish dish.
Mix up an egg, 2 c. of cottage cheese and a dash of onion salt.
Plop that mixture right on top of those noodles.
Put yourself another layer of lasagna noodles on top of that.
Then put 2 c. of mashed potatoes with about a cup of cheddar cheese mixed in.
Put yet one more layer of lasagna noodles and then melt a c. of butter and mix that up with a c. of diced onions...dribble that deliciousness on the top of your casserole.
Pop it in the oven for 30 minutes at 350.
Porkchops a la Orange (or whatever)
Sear 4 boneless porkchops with a bit of salt and pepper.
Generously sprinkle some cinnamon on those bad boys.
Dump a can of mandarin oranges (with juices) on top.
Cover and let simmer for about 30 minutes.
Serve over egg noodles.
If you've got recipes, send 'em my way!

Ena's first bath!
What a blessing a sweet new life is! I spent a majority of my time away from work over the past two weeks in the nursery at St. Francis Hospital, holding on to dear little Ena. The hospital plays a lullaby over the loudspeaker anytime a baby is born. One night, Ena and I hummed along to the song three times as more sweet little babies were brought into this crazy, wonderful world! Ena is home now, praise the Lord. Please continue to pray for her. She'll be on an apnea monitor for quite a while. Her parents are rockstars - handling everything with grace and a wonderful sense of humor.
Have a great week!
