Outback Steakhouse Bushman Bread

June 30, 2009

Yes its the dead middle of a sweltering Texas summer and yes I did crank up my oven only to make this amazing bread. Amazing you ask? Oh yes amazing isn’t the word, the word is addicting, butter melting, bread wanting goodness. I think hubby DT has snuck into the fridge and eaten a small loaf [...]

Bakewell Tart

June 27, 2009

The June Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Jasmine of Confessions of a Cardamom Addict and Annemarie of Ambrosia and Nectar. They chose a Traditional (UK) Bakewell Tart… er… pudding that was inspired by a rich baking history dating back to the 1800′s in England. A Bakewell tart, never heard of it? Well neither had [...]

June 26, 2009

I am not posting weekly garden pictures this week, because we’ve had some rather exciting new that I had to share, so this post will be a discombobulation of our weekly happenings.

Did I mention I got a new camera for my birthday its a Nikon D 40 and I am obsessed in love with it. I have taken more pictures this weekend than I have in my entire life, OK so that’s probably and exaggeration but seriously I am taking picture of everything. No one is [...]

30 Day shred – Day 24 and 25

June 23, 2009

So after skipping a few days of exercise last week I jumped right back in yesterday with no excuses even though it was my birthday and I seriously thought about not shredding, I did. Had a good workout, but ate pretty horribly the whole day, and topping it off with a slice of lemon cake. [...]

Super Easy Cobbler

June 23, 2009

Every summer I look forward to my dad picking dewberries, they grow wild near my dad’s rice farmers and we just love them. They are sweet with a slight bite of tartness, sweeter than a blackberry and slightly smaller. My dad absolutely loves dewberry cobblers and who am I to deny his request. Much less [...]

Howdy, y’all! Welcome to my blog world. I am Sweet Pea, a 20-something Texas native and a newlywed…well, almost. We wed May 2006. Shortly after we were blessed with identical twins boys born November 2007.

My husband, whom I lovingly call Double Trouble (DT), owns and operates a trucking company, and we use our CB handles as our names here.

I however recently converted from a working mom to a stay-at-home mom. I love the new challenges that it brings and enjoy sharing my triumphs, messes, and adventures with you. I hope you enjoy reading about our busy lives with babies, cooking, gardening, trucking, and bargain shopping.
