What's new?

We had another busy week. Where does the time go?

We enjoyed some snow earlier on in the week which is already gone.
Hanna and I went to Sadie's bday party and then she had a doctor's appt in the afternoon (Tuesday). She weighed 16 lbs 7 oz at that appt. The week before at her vaccinations, she was 16 lbs 1 oz. I was wondering why she was waking up in the night to feed....

Her Grandpa Radom was here for a week and a bit so she enjoyed lots of attention. Sarah's new boyfriend, Greg, also met Hanna last Friday.

We celebrated Gpa Radom's 65th Bday yesterday. I made prime rib roast, yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes, salad and apple pie. Yum yum! We will be enjoying the leftovers tonight - minus the apple pie since someone cleaned up the last piece. :)
I have now made the Kraft recipe 3 times for this roast. I think I will share it on here since I enjoy it so much.

Hanna and I trotted down to High River today and Steph Stewart took some 6 month shots of Hanna. We enjoyed some nice time together. Her son, Ryder is just the cutest little boy. Mind you, I thought her son Ty was the cutest little boy I ever did see.

 Daddy has fun feeding Hanna while Gpa enjoys snapping a few photos.

Lemon Square

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
•  
• 4 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 lemons, juiced

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a medium bowl, blend together softened butter, 2 cups flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Press into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13 inch pan.
3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until firm and golden. In another bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice. Pour over the baked crust.
4. Bake for an additional 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The bars will firm up as they cool. For a festive tray, make another pan using limes instead of lemons and adding a drop of green food coloring to give a very pale green. After both pans have cooled, cut into uniform 2 inch squares and arrange in a checker board fashion.

P.S. I had to bake the 2nd layer longer than 30 mins. because my middle layer took awhile to set. I also read a suggestion to add lemon zest to the crust before baking. Also, dust with icing sugar after baking, loosen edges while still warm and put in fridge or freezer to facilitate cutting.
