Rhubarb!
So I haven't decided what or whom to blame for ruining my "diet" this week but last week Rhubarb and Martha Stewart's Rhubarb Cupcakes were at fault!
With the help of my 6 year old we had our first harvest of rhubarb cleaned cut and froze in an hour. Well that is if you added the time up. Really it took the day to get it into the freezer but that's another story. 24 cups to start in all. I of course HAD to make something with the fresh rhubarb so tried out Martha's Cupcakes. Ummm....yeah...to die for...or at least to blow a diet for!

Love to see all of or hard work growing now. I think we might have gone a little crazy the last month and a half but now that veggies are popping up and strawberry and raspberries are blooming I get reminded why we do this every year.

Had our first salad of the season two nights ago with baby arugula and french breakfast radishes. Made us smile. :)

Someone asked me the other day at my son's soccer game why I don't join the "MOM's Club" for activities to do so I don't get bored.......ummm yeah I'll get right on it. :)

About Me

My photo
South Central, Alaska, United States
Love, joy, procrastination, and frustration of a Urban Alaskan Gardener Cook and most importantly Mother of three.... It might not always be pretty but I wouldn't trade it for anything! Life long Alaskan who really does not enjoy the ever so long winters. However, I live for my summers. My body decides that when the light comes (and let me tell you we get a lot), sleep no more, have time to make up for. I enjoy cooking/baking/decorating but my passion is gardening. I always set out for things to be perfect but usually settle for a lot less because frankly I don't have the time or patience (3 children under the age of 5 need I say more...oh yeah...and a husband:) So to sum me up I'm an introverted, detail oriented, procrastinator that hates to be late for anything and rarey finishes a project. I love my family and friends and throughly enjoy being able to take care of my children and watch them grow everyday!
