Pinterest challenge Texas Roadhouse butter

I did it again!

Another Pinterest challenge. Whoo hoo!

With the help of my lovely kitchen assistant we whipped up a batch of Texas Roadhouse butter.

Yummy!

Originally pinned via FLY THROUGH OUR WINDOW. This recipe was super easy to make. My nine year old daughter basically made this on her own.

Start by whipping two sticks of butter {room temp}.
Then add in 1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup honey
and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.

Just mix it all together and your done!

Our family did enjoy this, but we all agreed the cinnamon was a little too strong. If I make this again I would only add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon {can always add in more later}.

Have a great day!

lunch note paper bag album

This week I've been working on a little project for my youngest daughter. For the past few years I've been slipping little notes into her school lunches. Before the new school year started she showed me the little pocket on the front of her lunch box, inside were all the notes I had sent her for the last two years. It was almost like a time capsule and neither of us could bear to throw them out.

We knew we wanted to preserve them and I came up with the idea of putting them all in a special scrapbook. So this week I've been making a paper bag album made with brown lunch sacks for all the special notes.

I left some of the pages blank so we can add the notes from this year as well.

Of course every note couldn't go on a page, but the great thing about using bags are the little openings on the ends of some pages. These are perfect for slipping in more notes.
