(She named this one herself!)

Ingredients:

  1. 2 slices of bread
  2. Butter (for bread)
  3. 2 slices of cheese (we use cheddar)
  4. Turkey (sliced for sandwiches)
Directions:
  1. Heat iron skillet (on medium heat)
  2. Butter both slices of bread
  3. Place first slice of bread, butter side down on skillet
  4. Place first slice of cheese on top.
  5. Place turkey on top of cheese
  6. Place another slice of cheese
  7. Place the last slice of bread, butter side up.
  8. Let cook for awhile - until the bottom of the first slice is golden broan. 
  9. Flip, let cook on the second side until it's golden brown
  10. Slice diagonally (because that's the only way to slice grilled cheese!) 
  11. Enjoy! 

This recipe is 100% Skyler's recipe - and one we make a few times a week! She absolutely loves it! (Although she does NOT eat it with tomato soup, she prefers carrots and ranch for her side with this delicious sandwich!)

Welcome to 2015!!

Welcome to 2015!! (Geez, 2015? How the heck is it already 2015??)

Seeing that it's a new year, it's time for goals. (I don't do resolutions, but I do set goals... less pressure with goals. More long-term thinking.) And one of my goals for this year is to update this blog more. Lots more. So much more that a year from now (January 1, 2016) I can click "ORDER" on a book made from this year's posts - photos included! Something I can keep forever. A journal for this year.

I also want to read books. Lots of them. (I read 215 in 2014!) But I don't have a number goal - instead? I have a reading challenge. A list of topics/ideas/items to check off.


So with those goals in mind? I suppose this post should be a jumping off place. A Who are we? What are we doing? What's going on in our lives? (So we can measure progress, right?) 


I am working on Ali Edwards One Little Word project - At this point? I can't really tell you what all it entails!! The workshop/project was a Christmas Gift from a friend! And I chose my word "Action" because it kept popping up in my life. So 2015 is the #YearOfAction (for those of you following my social media!) 


If I'm not at Skyler's Hockey Practice, or working on school work at home, or leading Girl Scouts? I'm probably at church, in the sound booth. The past year I spent a good chunk of the year learning how to run the sound board, and then the past few months I took over the computer in the booth! 

Honestly? A few years ago I never would have imagined I'd find a church I loved, let alone one I would be wanting to spend all my time at! But I have most definitely found that!! 

I'm still running (and loving) All Things Pueblo - although it's been a bit of a burn out lately! So I'm hoping to jump in feet first and revitalize the site this month! 
Skyler is full of energy - as every six year old should be! She loves to dance (and tonight, she announced that it is her talent, then promptly asked if I would take her video and post it on Facebook. I guess I spend a bit too much time on the computer!)

So here goes 2015!! Hope it's a good one!
