July, where did you go?

So, um ... where have we been?  That's a good question.  We have posts drafted - lots of them!  We promise.  We have all kinds of things to tell you about!  Seriously.  We've been eating lots of good food, some of it stuff we even made.  There are granola bars, and cakes, and homemade juice.  There are cherry pies.  And steak for breakfast.  And and and.

It's just that, well, we've been a little busy.  C Fierce went on vacation.

She did some blueberry picking, too, and got her blueberry-picking-butt kicked by KFTF's mom (remember him?) who somehow managed to pick eight pounds of blueberries in four minutes.  (There are rumors out there that she might be taking blueberry-picking-performance-enhancing-drugs, but more on the juice later.)

J Fierce moved.  Twice.  (She has a very bad habit of doing this every ten to twelve months.  She keeps your address book on your toes.)

July, it seems, has gotten away from us.  Don't despair, internet friends (and the ten followers who read us who are not related to us - seriously, who are you people? we love you. Tell your friends about us).  Once the dust settles - and J unpacks, by which time she will be ready to move again - we'll be back on track with all those delicious little posts.

Stay tuned, because we miss you, too. 

Mama Fierce's Strawberry Pie

Remember how we promised to post some mom recipes after Mother's Day?  And then how we didn't post a single thing, nothing, for two entire weeks?  Well, I'm blaming that on my sister, but I can tell you that it was worth the wait. 

Carrot Cake Cookies with Lemon Cream Cheese Icing

People of the internet.  Stop whatever it is that you're doing.  Look at this cookie, hovering in the ether.  Don't you want to just reach through your computer screen, grab a hold of that sucker and just devour it?

Yes, I thought so too.

Go get yourself some carrots, a bottle of Maker's Mark, some raisins and a lemon.  You are going to need a few more things but these are a very good start.
