Pumpkins

Monday night, we decided to tackle the pumpkins. Last year, we never carved them, but enjoyed them as whole pumpkins until after Thanksgiving. Then cut, baked, and made pies out of them.

This year, Seth was our helper and got some of the gunk out of the pumpkin. Luke just watched and held his nose saying how it stunk.

Anyway, here are a few pictures from that night.

Until next time,

Happy Carving!

Senior Night 2010

Friday was Senior Night at the RCHS football game. Wildcat seniors were recognized, along with their parents, for their dedication and hard work to their particular sport.

Until next time,

Go Wildcats!

Sweet Green Beans

4 slices bacon
2 cans green beans, drained and rinsed
1/2 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano
pinch of basil
pinch of oregano
1/4 cup brown sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Fry the bacon until crisp. Remove and allow to drain on paper towels. Add diced onion and garlic to bacon drippings. Cook until soft. Add the drained and rinsed green beans along with the tomatoes. Add the spices and brown sugar to pan. Stir in crumbled bacon. Cook until warmed through.

Delicious with meat loaf and mashed potatoes (which is what we had tonight for dinner). I think this will be a favorite among the men in my extended family. Dad, Dad-in-law, I think you both would enjoy. Steve certainly did.

Until next time,

Happy cooking!
