some of my recent favorite things


          • homemade pita chips: pita bread (i use the real stuff, not that fluffy pocket bread crap most stores call pita bread, but you could probably separate that stuff into halves so its thinner & then use it) cut into 8ths, like a pizza, then brushed (both sides) with olive oil & i sprinkle greek seasoning over it, but you could use salt & pepper, garlic salt or mrs. dash & it would pry be equally good. then they're baked for 5 minutes at 400. soooooo good! they've been replacing chips in our house (way less fat & other nasty stuff) & even N likes them.

          • roasted tomatoes & garlic: a big craving of mine lately. i make this all summer with tomatoes from our garden, but lately i've been buying the pints of grape tomatoes so i can make this at least once a week. slice some garlic, & toss that in with the tomatoes & olive oil until they're all coated, then pour into a baking dish & sprinkle with salt & pepper. (sometimes i throw on italian seasoning, but usually just salt & pepper) & bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 400, until the skins wrinkle & split. yum, yum, & yum. we just had these last night & i already want more....

          • dove's nutrium body wash. i love this stuff!!!! i'm all dry & itchy (stupid stretchy pregnancy skin!) & this stuff rocks-- it's sooooo nice, you barely need lotion afterwards.

          • my kids' new mozart music cube. the dudes love it, & it doesn't have that super annoying electronic beeping music that most musical toys do.

          • IBC rootbeer. it's delicious. nuff said.

          • boogie wipes. they really do work, they smell great, & the boys complain a bit less about having their faces wiped since they're so soft. & they're just saline, so they don't mess with conrad's skin.

          • method tub & tile spray cleaner. it's a "green" bathroom cleaner that actually works as well as the chemical ones-- i am VERY excited about this one. & it even smells nice.

          any new (or old) fav finds you want share?

          (& i promise birthday pics are coming, i just haven't uploaded anything yet!)
