A childhood favourite...

Oh how I've missed you all!

Last weekend, we decided to start moving boxes of smaller things from the condo over to the new house and...
I haven't been back to the condo since!

It was actually a good thing that the internet (and thus no blogging) wasn't hooked up at the new house yet, because there has been a lot of other things to do.  I finished up the board and batten project {I'll be posting more on that soon} and have been doing lots of unpacking.

Our wonderful friends - Tom, Tara, and their 3 year old daughter Tessa - drove all the way up here to help out with the move too {Thanks guys!}.  Oliver was quite smitten with Tessa and we all really enjoyed their visit.

We're still recovering from all of the commotion and our daily routines are a little bit off schedule.  So last night, with Chris back at work, Oliver and I required an easy and super simple dinner.  I thought it was the perfect time to introduce Ollie to one of my childhood favourites...




Wieners & Beans

INGREDIENTS

1 can of baked beans
2 hotdogs


INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Pour can of baked beans into a pot.
  2. Slice in the hotdogs.
  3. Heat over medium - high heat, until hotdogs are cooked {they puff up a little bit}
  4. If necessary, you can add some water if the mixture is too thick.




Oliver enjoyed  his with a side of peas and corn...




mmm... makes me feel like a kid again!


Thanks for stopping by.

  2. Oh - this brings back so many memories of when I used to make something similar for my kids while their Dad was traveling. Your Oliver is adorable! And very artistic with his food! Enjoy your new home
