Happy New Year 2015

New Years Day, you have to eat your blackeyed peas right?

So the pic on the right is from last year, this year....well let me tell ya...

The peas ended up burned, veggie broth used to revive them was rancid, and a trip to walmart ended with being stranded in the parking lot...

When we finally got home, frozen pizza was heated and we ate our peas out of the can standing over the kitchen sink!
Then we washed them down with a bottle of champagne and watched the matrix.

Happy New Year 2015, see pic on left!

How momma got her (blog) groove back!

Yeah, I've taken a long blog sabbatical. But, it is time to get back at it. Let's face it being a mom is hard work and being a first-time mom is even harder. So, if baby boy goes to bed before midnight haha I'll use my precious spare time to pour a glass sit back and whine a bit!

Mac & Cheese Showdown

Comfort food reminds me of childhood and nothing was more comforting than a box of Kraft macaroni and cheese. Once my dad even mixed mac and cheese with spaghettios, it was terrible and my siblings and I still won't let it go. Recently due to a coupon which the grocery store doubled, I purchased a box of Betty Crocker macaroni and cheese. So I decided to do a Betty vs. Kraft challenge. Let's see how they add up. Betty Can cook everything in one pot (+1) Has the ultraviolet orange color (+1) Not as cheesy tasting (-1) Took awhile for liquid to thicken up (-1) Kraft Classic taste cannot be denied (+1) Childhood memories (+1) Mac and cheese is available in a ton of flavors, shapes and some even have whole grain (+1) Missing that ultraviolet orange color (-1) So it looks like Kraft is the hands down winner. Just like the commercials used to say "I've got the blues Kraft macaroni and cheese!" But I would buy Betty again just because of the convenience...
