However, when I wanted a treat for the boys a few days ago, I was inspired to try adding some peppermint to their chocolate. While a far cry from the original Mint Pie recipe, this drink made all the kids happy and I didn’t even have to turn on my oven.

I’m a little perplexed at this November’s weather. I kept meaning to book family pictures for sometime in October when the twins turned one, feeling like our gallery wall needed an update since so much has obviously changed between the time we had our last photos taken with our little sleepy 5-day-old babes and now with our rambunctious, running, climbing, goofy little Crazies. I really thought I was on the ball, but then we had the move, and some travel, and next thing I knew the photographer was booked til November....

We really liked the slightly spicy version of this classic hearty meal. Everyone in the family was happy with this dinner! Part of the key to a great beef stew is cutting everything into the same size pieces. This helps everything finish cooking close to the same time.
