		<description><![CDATA[I must confess that before this weekend, I had never made carrot cake.  Oh, I like it.  It's a great cake when made right.  But I think that one of the reasons I've never made it is because of the frosting.  Many times the cream cheese frosting is too sweet.  Oh, and there is a restaurant in town that makes the best carrot cake ever.  When I'm in the mood for carrot cake, I just drive over there and order a slice to go.  That is, until now.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=meeshiesmom.com&amp;blog=12228491&amp;post=3203&amp;subd=meeshiesmom&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I made this simple and tasty tomato soup after going through one of my cook books.  I know a lot of people collect coock books, but I don't.  I've found that if I buy one I may use one recipe out of the entire book.  With the exception of some wonderful books from Williams-Sonoma. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=meeshiesmom.com&amp;blog=12228491&amp;post=3189&amp;subd=meeshiesmom&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Spending that time with some of the best moms.  I only wish I had remembered my camera.  Thanks Krista, for letting me help out.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=meeshiesmom.com&amp;blog=12228491&amp;post=3180&amp;subd=meeshiesmom&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

A good cold dip made ahead is ideal for a large crowd.  But you can say the same thing for a good hot one too.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=meeshiesmom.com&amp;blog=12228491&amp;post=3171&amp;subd=meeshiesmom&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love a good bargain.  That's why when I was shopping at Target after Christmas, I came across some cinnamon m&#38;m's in the sale aisle.  I wasn't even aware that there were such a thing as cinnamon flavored m&#38;m's.  Did you?  I bought two bags for the price of one.  I knew exactly what I was going to do with the bag once I had a spare minute.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=meeshiesmom.com&amp;blog=12228491&amp;post=3153&amp;subd=meeshiesmom&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We had more snow on Friday.  I'm not sure how much.  Maybe six or eight inches.  I honestly don't keep track.  To me snow is more of an inconvenience than anything.  I lost that gleeful feeling toward snow a long time ago.  I think it may have coincided with getting my driver's license.

I don't hate driving in snow, but I don't like it.  Friday's snow added 30 minutes on to my commute home.  That's not too bad.  I've been stuck in snow longer.

A cold day like today makes me want to enjoy a hot dish.  Orange chicken is just that dish.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=meeshiesmom.com&amp;blog=12228491&amp;post=2995&amp;subd=meeshiesmom&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's not to late to say Happy New Year, is it?  This month, New Year's Day actually, commemorates my second year of blogging.  This post is actually my 275th.  I can't believe it.  It really doesn't seem like two years since I started sharing my thoughts and recipes with all of you.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=meeshiesmom.com&amp;blog=12228491&amp;post=3126&amp;subd=meeshiesmom&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
