  • Lasagna Soup

    Lasagna Soup

    Soup and lasagna combined, why not? This sounded like a great alternative to the normal lasagna or soup dish. As I looked through recipes, this one caught my eye. I have to try that! I bookmarked the recipe months ago and am finally getting around to making it. Actually this is the week of making…

  • Stuffed Jumbo Pasta Shells & Homemade French Bread

    Stuffed Jumbo Pasta Shells & Homemade French Bread

    I normally do not make a nice meal on Sundays as it tends to be a lazy and relaxed day in the kitchen. As I was busy preparing meals for a friends that just had a baby, I took advantage of my cooking mood. Brent helped finish the meal for my friends as I scrambled…

  • Crepes

    Crepes

    Today, as Jess was showering after her run, I started on making her some food. Even though it was nearing 1:00 pm, I started to make some tasty raspberry cream filled crepes. So I pulled out the trusty Better Homes & Gardens Crepes cookbook an got rolling. The recipe was easy enough but it did…

  • I Could Not Resist

    I Could Not Resist

    The other night I set out on a beautiful evening run with the husband. The temperature was in the 40s with hardly a glimpse of snow on the ground for a February day. The sun was slowly starting to go down as we hit the pavement. Spring was in the air, at least for this…

  • Winter Running (Without Winter)

    Winter Running (Without Winter)

    As you have probably been reading from Jess, we have had a strange lack of winter this year, which has lead to some beautiful days, days more reminiscent of spring. Jess has been able to enjoy many of her runs in above freezing temperatures and many of them in sunshine. It really has been a…

  • Baby Shower Creations

    Baby Shower Creations

    Other the last few months, my friend and I had the privilege of putting together a baby shower for our close friend. After countless times getting together to “plan”, which always turned it to fun chatter time, we finally got everything planned out. We took one night to decorate cookies, using the best sugar cookie recipe (my…

  • Solstice

    Solstice

    As Brent and I were wondering around downtown Bozeman today, we stumbled across the Schnee’s Warehouse Sale. We stepped inside hoping to find a new pair of dress/work shoes for me and maybe Brent. I dropped down one size in shoes after I started running 2 years ago and it has been that long since…

  • New Photo Subjects

    New Photo Subjects

    I decided to try to take some photos that I normally don’t attempt. I like sticking with the outdoors rather than objects inside. Tonight, I thought, why not. I hope you enjoy my experiment. I think I have some work to do, but a person has to start somewhere.

  • Baking with our “girls”

    Baking with our “girls”

      It was one of the girls birthdays yesterday, so one of her sisters and I spent time Friday night baking. She wanted to make a cheesecake which turned into me making it. Not a big deal as I love to bake. Plus it was fun to do a something a little special for “our”…

  • Cheesy Breadsticks

    Cheesy Breadsticks

    Tonight was pizza night in the Powell house. We made a homemade chicken pizza with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce. I decided that I would try to make some breadsticks to go along with them. Another new creation and a keeper it is! For the Bread: 2 cups flour 1 tsp. yeast 3/4 cup warm…

  • Crescent Lake

    Crescent Lake

    As Jess had already blogged about, we headed up to Hyalite once again on New Year Eve’s Day to showshoe. Krista tagged along with us and as we approached the reservoir parking lot, we noticed that the wasn’t a chance for parking. Fortunately, many of the Hyalite trails are connected by skiing trails during the…

  • Last Day of the Year

    Last Day of the Year

    What to do on the last day of the year? We decided to go up to the beautiful freshly snow covered mountains that we are lucky to live so close to. We invited my sister along for another wonderful snowshoe outing. We enjoyed a beautiful hike up along side the reservoir that led us back towards a…
