flip flops - times two
Those of you that read MMH on a regular basis, know that I am not a "product review" blogger. So this is not the typical post you will see here, but I want to take a moment to introduce something to you.

Science in the Summer
Learning doesn't have to stop, just because summer is here. This summer we are working on a hands-on science project. We have volunteered with the Fairbanks Fish & Wildlife Department, and are assisting in a study.

Raspberry (or Any Berry) Fool
Last week, I shared a recipe with you for a Lemon Fool, and when I did, I mentioned making berry fools. Well, here is a Raspberry one. Using this recipe, you can make this with any berries...pick your favorite!
Just for Fun - "What's On Your Nightstand?"
5MinutesForMom.com is doing a little blog hop, based on what is on your nightstand.
No...not your chapstick, and glasses. What you're reading!

At the Campsite
After hiking on Angel Rock Trail, we enjoyed some time at the river where we camped.
There was a small section where we had to wade across a waterway to get to the actual shore of the river. Rubber boots came in handy here. Joshua dramatically made a big deal about not having his hat on in the picture.

Shells with Chicken & Pancetta
Here is a very simple pasta dish to please the family. Because you can be "chopping" while other parts are cooking, this meal only takes about 30 minutes or so to complete.
The Hike Down
After enjoying some amazing views on our hike, we enjoyed the trip back down.
One of the really cool things, was a waterfall/spring that was flowing down the mountain...still under a layer of snow!
Angel Rock Trail
It is almost needless to say, that you can find natural beauty all around up here - after all, this is Alaska. But over the weekend, we went on a mini camping trip, and made a point of visiting a special place called "Angel Rock Trail."

Lemon Fool
This may have a funny sounding name, but there is nothing funny about it. Other than how ridiculously easy it is to make.

The Chatanika
One of our favorite places to go on an afternoon is the Chatanika River. It is just a few miles out of town and very peaceful and pretty.
Do You See What I See?
Yesterday the kiddos and I headed out of town to spend some time at the Chatanika River. When we were almost there, I glanced to the side, and something caught my eye. So I pulled over and pulled out my camera.

Buttery Sweet Frosting
This is the frosting that you see on the Classic Yellow Cake.
I will warn you though, this is quite sweet! You'll want a glass of milk to wash it down! This frosting is similar to the kind you would find on store-bought cakes. VERY sweet...something I save for special occasions.

Classic Yellow Cake
I really hate mixes....I have always thought that it was "cheating." Cake mixes were probably the last mixes I gave up as I learned how to cook from scratch, because they were just so easy! This recipe is for a classic yellow cake. You can use it for anything you would use yellow cake for. Makes great cupcakes too! (And knowing what you are eating is always a plus!)

A "Photo Shoot"
Now, I am not a professional photographer by any means, but a lady from our fellowship asked me to take pictures of her son for some casual Senior Pics, and yesterday that's what I did.

In Honor of Military Spouse Appreciation Day! (Give-Away)
It's time to let you know what is in the box!
In honor of Military Spouse Appreciation Day...since I've been one for 20 years....I am hosting a little give-away.
And because I am in Alaska, it MUST be something uniquely Alaskan.

Biking Around Fairbanks
This evening, we headed out around 8pm for a bike ride around Fairbanks. I was traveling light, so I didn't have my "real" camera with me, but I did have my phone. So this post will be all "phone pics."
Wordless Wednesday ...Happy 20th Anniversary!
(I miss you dearly sweetheart! Happy 20th Anniversary...I'm glad we celebrated it a little early!)

Military Monday - Blog Hop
Well....I don't have a regular Military Monday post for you. My guest for this week hasn't gotten back to me yet, so instead, I thought I would host a Military Blog Hop/link-up!
If you are a MilSpouse, please feel free to share your link!

Perfect "All Day" Oven Ribs
These ribs are simply to die for. And the best part, is you can make them ahead of time, and then finish them in minutes!
These ribs can be made with any cut of beef ribs. Here you can see where I made them with babyback ribs, and simply cut them into individual ribs before cooking. So if you see a cut of ribs on sale, give them a try!

Midnight Sun
Well, today is the first day of May. The days are getting longer and longer....and already, this is what the sky is like at midnight!
I can't wait to see what it will be like the first day of summer!
