2013, Here We Come!

On to a new year!

We spent New Years Eve trying to get settled after being away for so long (things like unpacking, laundry, grocery shopping, etc.).  We had a lot to get ready because on January 2nd I was headed back to work - but let's not talk about that here.  This is about our New Year!

So we did nothing on New Years Eve.  We were just too tired to celebrate.  So the girls went to bed as usual, with Andrew and I following shortly thereafter.

So we decided to "celebrate" on New Years Day.  I thought, new year, new recipes.  So I tried a new breakfast cake recipe for breakfast - it was ok, but too sugary!  And if I think it's too sugary, you know it's got a LOT of sugar!

Welcome to 2013, Eve!

For dinner, I tried two more new recipes: chicken and broccoli crepes for dinner and a angel food cake & jello concoction for dessert.  

Here's the dinner:

I wasn't impressed - way too much work and it wasn't as good as it had sounded.  Not enough sauce for me!

Happy New Year, Halle!

Here's the cake - it's an angel food cake, cut into layers with jello mousse in between the layers and on the outside.  It was yummy, but honestly, I think I prefer just plain angel food cake....

Eve preferred just the jello.  She picked it all off and left the cake.  Haha, oh well.  So much for ringing in the new year with fantastic new recipes to wow my family with!  

Bring it on, 2013!  We're ready for you!
