Read. or Nap.
{2} Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Morning person, no doubt. I turn into a pumpkin by nine pm!
{3} How much sleep do you get on an average night?
Depends on the night...sometimes four, or six hours...but i try to get eight!
{4} When do you find the time to blog/surf the ol' interweb?
before the peeps are awake, or after school work is done.
{5} What is the ONE thing you're never too busy for?
My children...and my husband. They get everything I've got ya'll.

We want to know WEdnesdays!

hm..chicken and sausage gumbo is one...and Shepard's pie is the other.

{3} Is there a dish that you make that people request when they visit your home/a family favorite?
strangely enough, shepard's pie. lol. i have a friend who sends her son to me to eat his veggies that way!

{4} What are 3 foods you have TRIED, do not like and will NEVER eat again?
mushrooms (highly allergic), seafood (yeah i'm cajun, no i don't eat seafood. what?!?), and pork (allergic)

and our final question comes from Dee@ HomesickCajun
{5} What's one thing that you love to eat that most people would think is weird and/or gross??
well, when we were growing up, we used to mush up our meatloaf and mix it together with our mashed potatos and peas...i did this after i got married, and my hubby was all "omg, that is AWFUL!"

pasta alfredo for the lactose intolerant..

man are things fun around here. we've taken CM off of dairy...due to chronic tummy aches. while it's helped tremendously, it hasn't completely removed the tummy aches. but, they are much less intense and less frequent, so i consider it a win!

now, the problem is how to make mac and cheese. lol yeah....so last night i made itlian sausage alfredo. delish. made it with almond milk...we have a new love. le sigh...what's that? you say Gen, where's the recipe? ah...thought you'd never ask. i only wish i'd taken pics!
