Things that Make Me Smile

Yesterday God blessed our family with a new GE oven. It was something I wanted, but I didn't expect. It is another tool to make things easier and more fun in the kitchen.

So last night Elisabeth and I broke it in by making My Granny's Chocolate Cobbler from the Tasty Kitchen website.

My new Oven

An oven window with a bright light:)

A serving of the delicious cobbler. Notice the thick chocolate sauce. Yummy!!!

MMMMM

Don't you wish they made blogs with scents?

I have made these cinnamon rolls from Cooking With Littles Under Foot twice this week. The first time I made them at night, so they would be ready for breakfast. My husband had one warm out of the oven and he said they tasted like Cinnabon. So you know I made them again for Father's Day. They are delicious. I am sure they are not healthy, but they sure make the house smell good and they taste great.

They are messy, but oh so good!

I am loving my Mother's Day gift

This is what my family gave me for Mother's Day this year.




This was the first thing I made in my pan, Rosemary-Lemon No-knead bread.



Today I used my pan to make one of our favorite soups, Charlotte's Tortellini soup. The house smelled so good as I cooked the vegetables with the sausage. I don't have a picture of it served up yet, this is tomorrow's dinner.

I am so excited to have this new pan, it is like getting a new golf club if you are a golfer. I know some of you are wondering why a pan makes me happy, because it is another tool I can use to serve my family. My husband took the time to buy me something I would not only like, but that would be useful too.

Thank you!!!
