Busy Weekends & Homemade Dog treats

                                                             This past weekend was crazy.
  Saturday my mom and I went to 7 different stores! 7 in one day! Target, Home Depot, Petsmart, Macys, Kirkland's, Fiesta and Albertsons. Then today we had to go to Walmart to get some last minute baking items and then to Home Depot again because our thermostat broke.

  I also got my christmas present early. Its kind of a habit with me... getting my presents early, but I had a good reason for getting this one early. My mom got me a Kitchenaid Artisan mixer which was on sale due to the holiday season. She- my kitchenaid- is red and her name is Rosie. Since Im in charge of preparing/making all  of the food except the turkey and a few other things for thanksgiving, Rosie will be used much this week. I will be making sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, a corn saute, pumpkin roll cake, cookies, and deviled eggs from scratch. The rolls, the stuffing, gravy, and green beans are either canned or boxed, but will be modified to. Its weird, I usually prefer homemade to boxed, but when it comes to stuffing, I tend to prefer Stove Top over the homemade stuff.

Roasted chicken quarters & Roasted baby potatoes

                                            This is a close up of the 1st egg that our chickens laid.
It was smaller than our store bought eggs.
Its "life" did not last long because I accidently dropped it.
Oops!
But this morning, there was another egg waiting in the nest.
And this afternoon, another little egg was laid.

Here are some other pictures from this weekend.

2 dogs, but they only ever play with 1 toy.

Liberally season the chicken. We left the skin on, but if you chose you can take it off since you will be cooking the chicken in liquid; so you don't have to worry about it drying out.
dried chicken= YUCK
