A New Creation: Our Birth Story
http://anewcreationblog.blogspot.com/2013/07/our-birth-story.html
Monday, July 8, 2013. I would like to jump back in with a post about the birth of our baby. There is something so special about a birth story. Every one is different. Every one so sacred to the family to whom it belongs. When I tell people I was lighting candles and drawing a bath in between contractions at 1:00am all while my husband snoozed away, the response is usually, "what? Just as he got off the phone with her, I started having a pretty intense contraction that made me so nauseous that I vomited&#...

A New Creation: December 2011
http://anewcreationblog.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 19, 2011. Jalapeno and Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms. I made these over the weekend where we did my side of the family’s Christmas celebration and they were a hit. My step dad thought they were too spicy, so you can leave out the jalapeno seeds if you are spice sensitive. I really liked the heat, though. 12 whole mushrooms, Large. 188; cups Panko bread crumbs. 3 slices thick cut bacon cut into lardons. 1 whole jalapeno, minced. 188; cups diced yellow onion. 1 clove garlic, minced. You can prep...

A New Creation: Crafty Holiday Garland
http://anewcreationblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/crafty-holiday-garland.html
Friday, December 2, 2011. But this year will be different. This year we are going to get a Chritmas Tree. We ordered Stockings from Pottery Barn with our names embroidered on them. I am going to build up my collection of ornaments, tabletop Santa stuff and cinnamon scented pine cones. Our house will feel like Christmas this year. The inspiration for this garland came from Pinterest (surprised? Is the site where I found the tutorial. She does a really good job of explaining it. January 11, 2012 at 9:25 PM.

Decor on a Dollar: November 2010
http://decoronadollar.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Decor on a Dollar. Yesterday we made a trip to our BRAND NEW. Whole Foods MEGA-store for the first time! In the wine section there was a HUGE display of a new wine variety. Which comes in Chardonnay, Cabernet and Merlot. The campaign slogan they are using is. Referring to Trader Joe's Charles Shaw variety}. Because it is selling for only $1.99 a bottle! We decided to give the Chardonnay a try. And it is surprisingly tasty! Very light, crisp and fruity. Close to a Pinot Grigio}. I was a little disappointed.

Tuesday, February 8, 2011. Everyone knows the Super Bowl is just an excuse to get together with friends, watch some funny commercials and eat LOTS of good food (right?

I adore this site because it's not just. Recipes. They have discussion forums, food related articles, how-to videos. the list goes on. For the instructions on how to kee...

A New Creation: Chicken Salad, Pioneer Woman Style
http://anewcreationblog.blogspot.com/2013/08/chicken-salad-pioneer-woman-style.html
Thursday, August 22, 2013. Chicken Salad, Pioneer Woman Style. If you're a Chicken Salad purist, you might want to look away. This is a far cry from the classic Chicken Salad recipe which typically is very plain- some mayo, lemon juice and celery. Maybe a nut of some sort like almonds. Or for the more adventurous: grape halves and walnuts. This Pioneer Woman recipe anything but classic. Blueberries? An unexpected and sort of questionable ingredient, but it really works! And isn't it pretty? When you flip...

A New Creation: April 2011
http://anewcreationblog.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 8, 2011. Some people only drink Champagne on special occasions, but I have always considered each and every day a special occasion! Why save something for a day that may never come? Or worse. maybe that special day comes and goes and you forget. To bring out that bottle you've been saving. For such a time. Is it just me or are blood oranges completely fascinating? I think I just will. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). San Jose, CA. Cooking and baking are my favorite activities. I also love to...

A New Creation: May 2011

Wednesday, May 4, 2011. My Not-So-Devilish Deviled Eggs. My family on my mom's side is c-r-a-z-y about deviled eggs. My Aunt Denise brings them to every family party. I've been told I'm not a Messier if I don't like them. That and coleslaw. but that's a different recipe. All together. We'll stick to eggs for now. I love eggs in general. Scrambled, over medium with a piece of toast, poached in a Benedict, hard boiled. And especially deviled. They just feel so decadent. I am a fan. I hard boiled my eggs an...
