The Lancaster-Hatfield residence has been cookin! Thanks to the fact that work has slowed down a bit we've been having more chances to cook. This Friday night, as we usually try to do date night but were both a little sick, we made one that was, as you'll see, mainly K's idea. 

He came home from the store bearing two hulking steaks and I made him some mashed potatoes to accompany. There was cheap Burgundy wine (whoops, there was leftover that I'd been cooking with?) and StarWars all around. 


Look at how manly with steaks! 


Friday night for the sick kids....it was sublime. 

Today has been a lovely relaxing Saturday. I took an hour and a half nap and played some Super Mario Galaxy two with K while I made some cinnamon rolls from scratch. Actually a very easy recipe that is adapted from the Pioneer Woman's gigantic recipe for 50.  I added a few pecans and made the maple coffee icing a bit less fattening and they turned out beautifully. These are touted as the best cinnamon rolls and I was in no way disappointed. Thankfully this only made 15 which will do nicely to give away:)


K was in rhapsody that he gets to marry me, as well he should be ;) 


Last but not least we've been looking for Honeymoon packages. I've basically never planned a vacation except for hiking and back packing (except for our four days in Santa Fe) and we are having fun trying to find something that is affordable and mainly relaxing with swimming in the ocean (as per K's request) Let me know your travel experiences if you'd like to share, we could use any advice.

  1. it's not that exotic, but we just went to st. louis on our honeymoon. it was cheap and fun- there's tons of free things to do there. but if you want the ocean then i'd say a cruise. it's kinda cliche for a honeymoon, but once you're on the boat, you don't have to worry about anything which is super nice.
