spring

Thought I would share some of the things I've been able to enjoy this week.... My beautiful tulips are blooming, they've enjoyed all the rain we had this week...

 I've never shared a recipe before, but I thought I would try something new...
So I made egg drop soup from scratch the other day... it was really easy , really good, and low in calories...

Egg Drop Soup

4 Cups chicken broth       1 Tbsp Sherry

1/8 tsp ground ginger  1/2 Tbsp soy sauce

2Tbsp fresh chives  1 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch

2-3 eggs

Reserve 3/4 Cup broth  and mix with cornstarch. Heat all ingredients except cornstarch mixture and eggs.  When starting to boil, add cornstarch mixture. Meanwhile beat eggs in separate bowl.  Stir soup in one direction while slowly pouring the beaten eggs in.  Let cook a couple more minutes, and then it's done!

And the last thing I am so excited about is Dye-Free advil for kids!  We have been trying to keep the boys (especially Austin) off food dyes, and the only medicine I had found was allergy medicine.  This week the boys both had fevers and I was so excited to find this!

Piano recital

The boys had their 2nd piano recital today...I was very proud of them!  The first video is of Austin, the second of Andrew.  They also did a duet, but I will post that later. The duet they used their music, but otherwise they had to memorize their pieces...I thought they did a great job!
