Latest at the Louisiana Haaland Household


I have to admit to "forgetting" about my blog....so sorry for my family members that follow here. I'll try to keep this updated a bit more!

The newest thing here....me not working outside the home anymore! And I'm so enjoying it! Christmas was awesome....you all got your yearly newsletters and now that the holidays and the remodel are complete, I have begun to settle into life without the 7-4 daily work schedule. I have to admit to sleeping "in" way more mornings than I should be but oh, what a joy! And in addition to my photography playtime, I am also back learning my Spanish and have discovered the Food Network!

Playing in the kitchen is something new to me.
...cooking has always been a "chore" and not something I enjoyed. Now, that's different! I've found some of my favorite chefs, have an account on the Food Network site and save my favorite recipes so that when Day is home or I have friends over, I can pull them up and practice! Life is so good!

This summer's project....my own garden with fresh produce!

Here's a few of my recent experiments! A chicken dish and roasted tomatoes from Ina Garten of Barefoot Contessa and Corn Pudding from the Food Network magazine (yes, I subscribe!). Bon appetite!
