Meet the (older)Moore girls.


They are quite a handful. Well intentioned, but a lot to handle. Some have mistaken their passionate for instability. Others have confused their whit with pride. Most people have misunderstood their humor at some point or another. But their charm ( and cooking- thank you mom) have won the hearts of plenty. These girls are driven. Motivated by a desire to do something bigger, and be something better. It's amazing that a trio of sisters can be so different, and so completely the same too. It took two amazing parents and a village to raise them. The village is now resting.


We haven't been the Moore girls for a while.We became the Engelke and Moore girls in 2004. And the Engelke/Goode/ Moore girls in 2007. And it seems we'll be changing again. The last (older) Moore girl is changing her name too. So we'll be the Engelke/Goode/Singelton girls. But don't worry we'll still be doing what we do. Keeping everyone on their toes, and working towards that 'big' thing. Because you can take the girls out of the Moore, but you can't take the Moore out of the girl. (I had to!).


Congratulations Kaylene.

We sure do love you.

I got one!

It seems like everyone has there go to recipe site. Or blog. Or whatever. I've tried a few. They hook me in with their beautiful photographs and health promises, so that I'm excited at the idea of seaweed wrapped tofu burgers and celery sticks for dinner. It has never really ended well (just ask David about the spaghetti squash, or the rutabaga), and I've always found myself back in my routine of pasta and chicken variations for dinner.

Until now.

I have found a gem.

A cooking gem.

I'm almost hesitant to share it because I've just fallen in love with it.

I got one.

I found a website.

Every meal I have cooked in the last week has come from this website. I can't get enough of it. This food is good. Seriously good. We're talking David -will -eat- leftovers- good. If you know David you know what a huge deal that is. Here's why I love it:

1. I almost always have all of the recipe ingredients on hand. (No searching for Tamarillos or white zucchini in the produce section).

2. It's husband approved. But it's not unhealthy. I'm beginning 'healthy' is a relative term anyway. I believe that home cooked is better than processed, and therefore more 'healthy'.

3. Pretty pictures still accompany each recipe.

4. The author Ree Drummond is the self titled 'Pioneer Woman'. And she makes it all look so glamorous.

5. It's easy peasy. No 20 step multiple component bologna. Just simple honest recipes.


Look around, I think you'll enjoy. If I may suggest the Drip Beef sandwich recipe, it was a big hit around here. Enjoy, and let me know what you love!

March will be a month...

A month of
Trying to be more optimistic and less doubtful.
More like my Savior and less like myself.
Trying to love and not judge,
to forgive with out any conditions.
Trying to put important before needless.

March has set itself up to be quite a month. But I'm going to approach it much different than February. February with it's ice and cold was sent away with out any goodbyes from our house. We were glad it left. But March will be different (though it has not entered the way a good visitor should). I'll be more tolerant and patient through it's cold mornings. I may even try to enjoy it. Maybe it's cold beginning will help me enjoy the warmth at the end. Maybe. Probably. I suppose it's my choice really.
