Oh baby!

Well hi there.  Remember me?
I bet you thought I had forgotten you!  Well here I am, finally, with stories to tell and recipes to share once again.  All is well Dear Reader - I just got super busy for a while there.  Since my last post I have thrown a baby shower for my niece, bought a house (!!!) moved and welcomed baby Mason into our family.  It has been hectic!

Most of my house was packed by the time the baby shower happened, so with a lot of planning I took the party on the road to my niece's home.  It was a challenge because of my impending move - I had to make sure I didn't pack any dishes I would be using for the shower.  Thank goodness for my love of writing lists - it went off without a hitch.  I planned a simple, make-ahead menu that would travel well and present well on the day and despite my type A, control freak nature, I let other people help too.  And, BIG and, I ordered the cake.  Sometimes it is best to just accept your limitations and move on.  Ordering the cake was a smart decision!  I made these Bacon, Cheddar and Chive Biscuits that I have shared with you before.  They come together quickly and easily and give the impression that you are a master baker.  Paired with ham and fancy mustard or mayonnaise they were a hit with the ladies.  I made this macaroni salad, and this potato salad and rounded out the menu with pickles, beets and some lovely cheeses.  Just for fun, I created a virgin Mimosa bar with fresh fruit and a variety of fruit juices to add to sparkling water.  It was very festive!

What would we ever do without Pinterest? I made this diaper wreath for Amy's front door...I must confess though...it made me say very bad words while I was assembling it.

He's finally here! Mason Alexander arrived May 25th.
So Dear Reader, I do not have any new recipes to share today, just an explanation for my extended absence.  I have moved into my new home and I am so excited to have a new kitchen to cook and share recipes with you from.
