Noelle likes Good Food

My twin sister and her husband came to visit us recently! I was very happy to have them here! We always have a great time together and their visits normally include lots of yummy food. This time my sister brought her new mini donut maker and we put it to good use :). To go with the donuts we made scrambled eggs, and the guys each had a biscuit. As you can see we demolished our breakfast and there was not a single donut left!  Gluten Free Donuts dipped in chocolate sauce and topped with chopped peanuts.  We adapted  THIS  recipe from Sia's Cooking Blog.

My cousins were in town from North Carolina last weekend. They were able to spend several days hanging out with my sisters in Douglasville. I drove down last Sunday and joined them for the day to make makeup! I told myself I would take lots of pictures so I could blog about the event. Unfortunately, I only took a couple.

I would go into detail on all of these beauty products but this blog post would get REALLY long. So, I will just include the links to all of these recipes so you can try...

Hello! I don't know about you guys but I am so happy that spring is here (finally)! After all the rain last weekend, I finally was able to get outside on Monday and plant the rest of my plants. I also went to a plant sale a few weeks ago and got several things that I still wanted like cucumbers, peppers and some herbs. Chocolate Mint. Cilantro from seed.  Thai basil from seed. These plants got submerged last week when I left them outside overnight and it rained all night. I actually cried when I found them in the morning. But Chris saved them and they perked right back up.  Lettuce.  Roma Tomatoes.  Rosemary that I planted last year that is finally showing some new growth.  Lettuce. Tomatillo! Stevia that overwintered from last year. I was so excited to see it shoot up this year! Habanero pepper.  Oregano. Mexican Sage. Green onions that overwintered. I dug up three...
