This and That (and pie!)

November 22, 2010

Hello all! You may have noticed a few changes happening around Becky Bakes. My lovely sister-in-law has been helping me with some design changes (I am definitely a better baker than coder)! She does a fantastic job and I love the changes. I really wanted something simpler with the focus all on the food. There will still be a few tweaks here and there so hang in there while I wrap up this little remodeling project.

In other news, I am expecting baby #4…yay! We are thrilled and the kids are excited at the prospect of adding a new brother or sister to their ranks. My joy is somewhat tempered by first trimester fatigue and morning (well, all day actually) sickness but that should hopefully pass quickly. My appetite is a little fickle right now too but I still have lots of yumminess coming your way soon (Christmas cookies, anyone?!).

Now for pie! I posted a recipe for Tuscaloosa Tollhouse Pie 1 year ago today but it most certainly bears repeating. It is so good. Gooey, rich, and delicious! If you still need another Thanksgiving day dessert this one would be a winner! You can find the recipe in this post.

This old photo is a little blurry but you get the idea…this is an amazing pie!

I like the new blog layout!

Congrats on the pregnancy!! Though I have to say – baby #4?! I’m tired just thinking about that prospect! Can I ask a really weird question? (I’m pretending you said yes) – what kind of vehicle do you have? We’re car-shopping right now and while we only have 2 kids right now, a 3rd is pretty likely somewhere down the road and we’re trying to figure out something that will be big enough to haul all of us but still be OK on gas.

ANYWAY.

I’m making this pie. Oh yes I am. YUM.

Hi Becki!
Thanks so much, glad you like the new layout. We are excited about #4! When this new little one is born my other kids will be 6, 4, and 2. It will be busy I’m sure but, for the most part, that’s the way we like it:-)
We upgraded to a mini-van when we knew number 3 was on the way. It was a tough pill to swallow as I wasn’t so sure I wanted to be a “mini-van mom” quite yet. It was a good choice though and we love it now…plenty of room. Specifically, we have a toyota sienna. I think the gas mileage is O.K. though maybe nothing to write home about? It was an easy decision for us because it was the only van (that we looked at) that had enough leg room for my rather tall husband. We don’t travel a ton so it hasn’t been a problem for us.
Does that help? Good luck in making a decision!
