Pickled Beets

Jeff made some pickled beets today. He saw them on Food Network's Good Eats. It was a lot of fun and tasty too. Can't wait the 3-7 days until we can have the pickled version.

Corvallis Open House

We had our open house in Corvallis, last weekend at the stake center. We used the multipurpose room and it looked great. My mom (Dawnell) did a lot of work on preparing the decorations and food. It turned out really great and with the quilt she made and the photos the Pope's brought out, it was a beautiful room. Here are some photos of the event, featured are cakes from Jillicious Desserts. Jill's a friend of mine and her desserts taste as good or better than they look, and they always look amazing!

Homemade pizza

Jamie and I were shopping recently at Trader Joe's. She saw the pizza dough and sauce, so we picked some up and made some pizza. I called an audible though at the last minute and used some frozen butternut squash for the sauce. We also had red peppers, onions and used a rotisserie chicken that we'd shedded to top it off. It was really good and you can see the results here.

Photos from Seattle

Jeff is trying to teach me how to blog, so here is my first entry. Here are some photos from our honeymoon in Seattle.

1st Post and video

So we've returned from our honeymoon and are just getting back into the swing of things. Like our other family members, we're starting a blog, so that we can keep others informed of our life. But for today, I'm (Jeff) just going to upload some video of our trip to Seattle. Hopefully this will tide you over until we can write some more.
