Yummy, Tasty Treats!

My disclaimer is this is not my own recipe and I found it here, but these are really great tasting and even easier to make!!! They are calling them Parmesan Knots, but I'm renaming them temporarily this Sunday for K's 3rd birthday party (themed for The Incredibles) to Omnidroid Knots. :)

• 1 tube (12 ounces) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
• 1/4 cup canola oil (I will be changing this to use melted butter instead this time around)
• 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

• Cut each biscuit into thirds. Roll each piece into a 3-in. (I rolled them out to probably about 6 inches) rope and tie into a knot; tuck ends under. Place 2 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
• In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; add the warm knots and gently toss to coat. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen

I would assume any bread dough would work just the same, but these aren't bad. :) I am always looking for EASY and tasty additions for dinner time and these will be making a comeback every once in awhile!

The Sunday Word

Not to be confused with the THE Word...I have no religious wisdom to offer at this time of day :), but I thought I'd take the opportunity to introduce a new word, or at least a favorite word of mine, at the start of each week. So...this Sunday's word is: Persnickety

As defined by Merriam-Webster: a) Fussy about small details b) Having the characteristics of a snob

I've always liked this word. Not sure why, but every time I see a Sargento cheese commercial I smile a little. Their tagline "Persnickety people Exceptional cheese" is amusing. I'd like to think I like the word some much because it is so much UNLIKE the person I am, but I'm afraid some people would argue. Although, I hope my "fussines" and "snobiness" is what makes me such a fun person to be around. *laughs*

I hope you've enjoyed this installment of The Sunday Word. Please feel free to use our "new" word at your earliest convenience. :D

Ahhh...My first blog post. Well, I suppose that's not completely true since I started a blog a couple years ago, but never posted more than twice. I had a grand fantasy of updating once a week about my children and life in general, but then taking care of my children and life in general kind of took over. Oops!

Anyway, so now I'm committed to updating my blog often, or as often as possible. Having three girls under the age of five makes for some great, fun and exciting, but exhausting and crazy times, but I'm really hoping to keep up on this one.

I haven't quite decided where to take this blog. I've considered arts and crafts, money-saving tips, recipes and various other topics, but haven't been able to settle on one so I guess I'll just start updating and see where I end up. In the meantime, you might just find a mix of all the above plus a few other topics thrown in for good measure! :)

How, you may (or may not) ask did I choose the title of my blog- Every Mama Works? Well, it's true, right? Whether you are a mama who works out-of-the-house and in an office, one who works out-of-the-home or a stay-at-home mama YOU ARE WORKING. You are working 24 hours each day. If you're preparing spreadsheets, organizing a fundraiser, cooking dinner for your family, caring for your sick baby, nursing a teething baby almost 'round the clock or running your children to and from school and other various activities...you're a working mama!

I've had the experience of working outside-the-home and, while I'm not "technically" a stay-at-home mom right now I'm in a position that allows me to be with my girls all day, every day and I love every minute of it. Ok, some days are better than others, but I still wouldn't trade it.

While some mamas enjoy being at home with their kids, others find they enjoy having an outside career in addition to being a mom. Seeing as I've been on both sides I know the advantages and disadvantages of the two lifestyles. I hope no matter how your life is shaping up you find some enjoyment in my blog and know you are welcome here anytime. :)

As I journey through the blogging world I will be adding pictures and links to interesting subjects. Please hang in there with me and let me know what I can write about to keep you hooked. :)
