A hot day around the “farm”

August 28, 2010

Just a typical hot August summer day, and the boys wanted to play outside and were we do just about anything to survive the heat. I put a sprinkler out for the boys to play with, water the grass and the chickens also enjoy walking in the cool water and getting a cool drink. Minnie [...]

Patty Melts

August 24, 2010

What could be better than a grilled cheese / burger combo? Not much in the opinion of my hubby DT, and two little ravenous boys, who just gobbled these down. They remind me of a patty melt you would get at your local hometown diner, or something you would see on Diner’s Dive-ins and dives. [...]

My backyard chickens eggs

Shes been blogging for quite some time now (since 2007) so I spent some time looking through the archives, and how much [...]

The Caterpillar and the Fly

August 18, 2010

Lookie what I found in my tomato plants the other day. This caterpillar is literally as big as my index finger, probably a good 3 inches. The only reason I noticed it, besides if being so huge, was that it was flopping around, because apparently a fly was bothering it. I couldn’t figure out what [...]

Guava Cheese Turnovers (Guava Pastelillos)

August 17, 2010

I love to try new (to me) ingredients. I was watching food network the other day and Daisy Martinez made these turnovers using Guava Paste. I had never heard of this interesting ingredient and immediately sparked my interest so I went to my local grocery store and sure enough they had it. The flavor of [...]

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.
