Our New Years Eve

We had a low key New Years Eve this year, just went downtown to the Charles Lucas Confectionery and grabbed a couple of drinks with two of our friends.

A couple glasses of prosecco hit the spot. And was a great way to end the year and start on my goal for 2013: No alcohol until at least Mike's birthday at the end of February. 

That time we almost bought a vintage camper...

 It was so cute and cheap, we couldn't resist going to take a look at this '66 camper...

It was in great shape! Just needed a good cleaning and a few minor repairs. But. We decided to pass and spend our money fixing up the house. Sometimes being a responsible adult isn't so fun.

How to: Crockpot French Toast

 Ingredients

1 loaf of bread, diced

6 eggs

2 cups milk

½ tsp cinnamon

Topping

¼ cup butter, softened

½ firmly packed brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

½ cup chopped pecans

Dash of nutmeg

Spray crockpot with non stick cooking spray and add milk, eggs, and cinnamon. I used almond milk and it was delicious.

Whisk together.

Chop 1 and 1/3 loaf of break into square pieces. I used Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Bread.

Add break to egg mixture and let soak for at least 2 hours. I put this in the fridge and let it soak over night.

After fully soaked, mix together the dry topping ingredients, then add softened butter and sprinkle on top. Cook in crockpot on High for 2 hours, or low for 4 hours.

Top with your favorite maple syrup and enjoy!

Emmett's snow day

 This past weekend we had back to back snow storms, leaving us with about a foot of snow. We haven't seen this much snow at once in UPstate NY for a few years no, and Emmett is a snow lover. He was so excited!

Happy New Year!
