This week is my annual Spring Break Getaway to Seaside, Oregon.<\/div>\n
 I love the beach regardless of whether it is sunny or stormy. I enjoy this getaway each year <\/div>\n
because even though I am usually the only one that gets to be here the whole week, <\/div>\n
all of my immediate family usually manages to get here for at least a day or two.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\"A<\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Each year, we stay in a timeshare so that we have most of the comforts and conveniences of home. <\/div>\n
I like eating out occasionally but I enjoy cooking wherever we are! <\/div>\n
Today, one of my twins and three of his friends came down for the day<\/div>\n
 so I made them the \u201chome-cooked\u201d meal that he requested\u2014Shepherd\u2019s Pie.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
If you have a basic kitchen and a nearby grocery store, it is not difficult to have \u201chome cooking\u201d without hauling your home kitchen with you. A few simple ingredients, a couple items from the freezer section, and some fresh produce is all you need.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\"A<\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Early in the day, I made a Peach-Blackberry Crisp. Crisp is a family favorite<\/div>\n
 and so simple to make. Two small bags of frozen peach slices and a small bag<\/div>\n
 of frozen blackberries went into casserole dish. I melted a 1\/2 cup of butter, <\/div>\n
then added 1 1\/2 cups of old-fashioned oats, 1 cup of brown sugar, 1\/2 cup of flour <\/div>\n
and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. I stirred it together to make a crumble<\/div>\n
 and sprinkled it over the frozen fruit. It baked at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. <\/div>\n
(You can add sugar to the fruit if you think it is too tart, but I choose to serve it a la mode instead.)<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\"A<\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
While the crisp was baking, I used one of my favorite recipes gained from Pinterest to <\/div>\n
make peasant bread.<\/a> This bread is so easy\u2014flour, salt, yeast, sugar, and water. <\/div>\n
You don\u2019t even need special loaf pans! You bake it in a Pyrex bowl.<\/div>\n
It makes two wonderful rustic 1-1\/2 quart loaves. Today, however, I used one Pyrex bowl<\/div>\n
(that\u2019s all our condo kitchen had) and two foil loaf pans. <\/div>\n
That way I had a loaf that I could send home with my son.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\"A<\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
When it was time to start cooking dinner, I used an Alton Brown recipe for Shepherd\u2019s Pie<\/a>. <\/div>\n
I changed it up just a little by not using peas and corn, but adding celery <\/div>\n
when I browned the onions and carrots. Then I added fresh green beans <\/div>\n
cut to 1\u201d lengths and chopped mushrooms when the recipe said to add the peas and corn. <\/div>\n
It was really good! In fact, I pinned the recipe to my \u201cPinned, Tried, and Family Approved\u201d<\/a> <\/div>\n
board on Pinterest. I had to use two pans because I had already used the 9×13 for dessert.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\"A<\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
A bag of salad with some halved cherry tomatoes rounded out the meal. <\/div>\n
I set out two kinds of bottled salad dressing <\/div>\n
and set a jar of store-bought boysenberry jam by the bread. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
After dinner, we enjoyed playing a favorite card game, Hand & Foot. <\/div>\n
A great time was had by all!<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
If home is where the heart is, then for a few days mine is divided between Seaside<\/div>\n
 with some of my family and home where my hubby is until Friday <\/div>\n
when he will join me here. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
I will get to enjoy some time of quiet reflection and planning <\/div>\n
(like finishing the redesign of this blog) this week, <\/div>\n
but I\u2019m glad that I can be a blessing to my family and friends by bringing <\/div>\n
my heart for home with me!<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Enjoying home away from home!<\/div>\n
