Random Recipes

It’s time once again for the Random Recipe Exchange.  Woo Hoo!  I have gotten several fabulous recipes from this recipe exchange. If you’re not participating yet and you want some new recipes (and who doesn’t?) stop by Pam’s blog so that you can join in the fun.

So, this week Pam’s assignment for our recipe exchange was post an appetizer or drink recipe.

So, one of my favorite appetizers is something my cousin Beka always makes at our New Years Eve parties.  If you’ve never had it before, it might sound a little odd- but I can assure you that they are delicious and I usually stand right next to the platter so that I can eat them all up.  Now, I didn’t actually get this recipe from Beka, and mine have never turned out like hers so I’m sure there must be some secret.  Anyhoo, here is my appetizer recipe.

Pickle Ham Roll Ups

Ingredients
1 package smoked cooked ham slices
1 jar kosher dill spears, drained
1 8oz package Philly Cream cheese, softened some

Directions
Pat ham & pickles dry with a paper towel
Spread ham slices each with about 1 tablespoon cream cheese, enough to cover the ham slice.
Top each slice with 1 pickle & roll up.
Refrigerate 1 hour or overnight
Slice each pickle roll into 5 to 6 pieces

Stop by Pam’s blog to check out the other yummy recipes.

A Day at the Museum

April 24th, 2008 Melanie Posted in Hailey | 16 Comments »

One day last week I took Hailey to a children’s museum nearby where we live.  It is an amazing place for kids of all ages and she had a blast.  So, of course, I had to share some pictures with you.

When we first arrived at the museum we stopped in the Sesame Street area- and spent lots of time there.

Hailey loves books, so we spent a while reading some stories.

Hailey stopped to play a few songs on the piano.

Hailey loved driving the car- you can’t see it, but Elmo and Cookie Monster were riding in the back seat.

I have no idea what these things are, but Hailey loved playing with them.

She spent a long time digging and playing with whatever these things are.

We finished up the morning with a ride on the train.

Hailey had so much fun and I can’t wait to take her back!  Hope you enjoyed the little peek at our fun.

That’s My Girl

April 23rd, 2008 Melanie Posted in Hailey | 1 Comment »

Yesterday we made our weekly trip to Target. I love shopping at Target. Anyhoo, we pulled into the parking lot and Hailey took her pacifier out of her mouth and threw it on the seat next to her.

She had a huge smile on her face when I said, “We’re at Target.” She tried to repeat it, “Ta.” As I was taking Hailey out of her car seat she looked at me and said, “Fun, fun, fun.”

Ahhh, yes- that’s my girl.

Wordless Wednesday #61

April 23rd, 2008 Melanie Posted in Wordless Wednesday | 41 Comments »

Spring seems to have finally arrived, I just hope it’s here to stay.  When Hailey was getting dressed she saw these boots in her closet.  She was very insistent that she wanted to wear them.  With shorts.

For more wordlessness stop by Wordless Wednesday and 5 Minutes for Mom.
