Yes, I know these topics don’t mix… at all! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
I know it’s been quiet around here lately. To be honest, I don’t really have a lot to talk about.<\/p>\n
We have been discussing children \u2013 both biological and foster adoption \u2013 quite a lot lately. More than likely we will be adopting a \u201csibling group\u201d of 2 kids. As I want a little one and he wants an older one, if we can get like a pre-teen\/ teenager and a 2-4 year old, we’d both be happy. Granted, I have no idea when this will all take place. We’re not to that level just yet. We are, however, extremely fortunate to have a friend that licenses foster homes and knows the in’s and out’s of that part of the system. We did decide that fostering before adoption makes a lot more sense than flat out adoption. To our current thinking, it would give us all a chance to make sure the kids would be a good fit with us. This may be the wrong way to think, but there is still a lot of research to be done!<\/p>\n
In other new, I have been cooking a LOT! Our new crock pot gets used 2-3 times a week with all sorts of delicious meat, pork or chicken recipes. A few I’ve followed recipes (or rather adapted) and a few I’ve just plain made up. The latest was an adaption and by far my favorite… shredded beef and veggies over garlic brown rice. DELISH!<\/p>\n
I’ve been perusing the SparkRecipes.com<\/strong><\/a> website quite a lot and most of them are from there. Today, I decided to put the zucchini’s I bought last week to good use with this recipe. Zucchini Crisps recipe<\/strong><\/a> adapted slightly. My changes are in pink<\/span>.<\/p>\n
