A Weekend at Home

May 31, 2011

The Memorial Day holiday has me all confused, so I missed Menu Plan Monday, and my usual recipe on Tuesdays. We spent the weekend at home, oh was it a glorious weekend. Lots of playing outside, enjoying the hot weather, playing with the boys and cooking from the garden. The boys loved playing on the slip [...]

REE-diculous

May 29, 2011

DT and Dad went fishing last week and while DT was cleaning the boat the boys were having a blast playing in it. In fact Little H fell down inside and busted his eye, but that didn’t stop him. It wasn’t until he fell in a mud puddle that he started to cry, I mean really. My little [...]

Zucchini Brownies II

May 25, 2011

This is surely turning into one of my favorites ways to make zucchini. My niece, one of the pickiest eaters I’ve ever known, ate about half the pan. Even after we told her they had zucchini in them, she loved them. Truth be known the zucchini melts into these brownies and you can’t taste it [...]

Zucchini Brownies I

Gator Park

May 18, 2011

As I like to call it, or Brazos Bend State Park. A really fun place to visit on a cool Tuesday morning. Mom and I have been to this park several times, never to see an Alligator except at the visitor’s center, but none in the wild. So my goal was to see at least [...]

Zucchini Bread

May 17, 2011

This time of year when the zucchini over run our household I try to get creative with the things I can put Zukes in. This recipe is one of my favorites to double and bake in a variety of different pans and freeze. It’s perfect for a midday snack or dare I say it, even [...]

Banana Nut Cake

May 10, 2011

I’ll never forget that afternoon in my early teens. Mom made this cake and it was still baking in the oven when she left the house with strict instructions for Dad to reset the timer for another 30 minutes when the timer went off and after that take it out of the oven. So Dad was outside working [...]

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.
