I've Done It Again







That's right, I have committed myself to the craziness of blogging everyday of April (except Sundays) for a second year in a row.  Only this year I have a plan already in place, I already have a theme and most of my topics picked out.  (yay for the thinking ahead) 

So, I figure with all the time between now and April I can get it written up and schedule and I can spend all my time checking out everyone else blogs!  Which of course is the truly fun part. 

What's my topic you ask?  Well I thought it would be fun to do an A to Z of my favorite fictional characters.  They come from all forms of media; books, movies, television, comics.  I even have crafts for some of them.  I am super excited about this.

If you would like to participate in the A to Z Challenge (which you really should) you can find the sign up here or through the A to Z Challenge 2013 Badge on my sidebar.

Making Mac and Cheese

Image
One of my favorite vegetables is butternut squash so when Chatelaine  posted this yummy looking recipe  for mac and cheese brimming with squash I immediately pinned it to make at a later time.  Now, before Pinterest  I am willing to admit, recipes got saved in my e-mail, but they never got made.  They just got lost in the shuffle; now they get neatly organized and displayed where I can go through them on a regular basis.  More importantly than that I can try them.   This recipe worked out well for me, I thought the cheese and squash tasted great together, the kids however did not agree.  They like their squash on the side, where they can control how much they ingest.  Next time I will definitely use less breadcrumbs though.

Spooktacular Giveaway Hop

When I was much younger than I am now, I loved nothing more that a good "spooky" story.  I spent many nights laying up in bed reading books that were designed to make your skin crawl and leave you with goose bumps. My personal favourite author for Young Adult Thrillers was and probably still is Christopher Pike.  Twenty years after reading his books some of them still stand out in my mind in perfect clarity.  The top one would be Remember Me. Something about Shari's story struck a chord with me that has echoed through the last twenty years, as any good book should I suppose. Sadly when I was a teenager I didn't hold on to as many books as I do now so I spend a lot of time hunting to replace the ones I really wish I had kept. (Sweet Valley High anyone?) I am giving away a $15 Amazon gift card in the hopes that you can use it to buy a book to be loved as much as I loved this one. a Rafflecopter giveaway This post is part of The Spooktacular Giveaw...
