Niko Niko's

Mike and I watch Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri on a fairly regular basis. We like to go to places he's featured when possible so when we were driving through Houston recently we stopped at Niko Niko's for lunch.

So good! I love their falafel and Mike got the Souvlaki Sandwich. For dessert we got the Loukoumades which are like little donuts dipped in honey and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Love!

Whole Wheat Biscuts, Homemade Butter & Crafting

I went over to Ann's recently for a little afternoon crafting to make Grace a Minnie Mouse headband to give her on my trip home. Here's both the headband, the headband-maker Ann and my "contribution" to crafting - whole wheat biscuits with homemade butter.





The whole wheat biscuit recipe can be found here. A nice departure from regular biscuits, lots of texture and not at all dry like some wheat things can be. And, here's the link for the homemade butter recipe. Super easy! The pictures are really instrumental in knowing you didn't screw it up (which is what I thought happened once the cream turned into whipped cream).

Mike took photos of Grace, Stephanie, Shane and to-be Baby Joel while we were at home over the weekend. He'll post photos at his blog soon... hopefully he was able to snap one of Grace in her new headband!

Thank you to my bestie Laura who sent this to me last night. I needed a laugh and this was a perfect, 5-foot metal chicken laugh.
