So, I am finding that in order for my family to eat a decent meal these days, we either a. need to eat out, b. have someone else cook it, or c. plan ahead and use the crock pot. Today I picked C. and this is what I made...
Crock Pot Scalloped Potatoes and Ham
8-10 potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 pkg. cubed ham
1/2 stick butter
1/4 C. flour
2 C. milk
Shredded Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
Onion Flakes
Parsley, to taste
Peel and slice potatoes. Make a white sauce by melting butter. Remove from heat and stir in flour. Put back on low heat and stir in milk, removing all lumps. Keep stirring on low heat until sauce thickens. Layer potatoes, salt and pepper and parsley, ham, shredded cheese and sauce in crock pot. Set on low and cook for 6 hours. Voila!! Supper!!
Next time I might choose A., but for now, I'm going with C. How about you?

What's in Your Library Bag Wednesday?...
It's that time again readers....What's in Your Library Bag Wednesday!!!
Personally, I decided to get off of my dystopian kick and am almost finished with the novel, Awaken me Darkly by Gena Showalter. I have read Gena Showalter novels before and enjoyed them; she's kind of a fantasy/romance writer. There is one series based on Greek Gods and the City of Atlantis; another includes dragons, etc.; always with an element of romance. My favorite! Anyway, this is a new series about an Alien Huntress. Ooohhh, intriguing. Booklist says "Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Alien Nation in this action-packed adventure." Sign me up.
The novel takes place somewhere in the future, where cars are programmed to drive themselves and aliens have inhabited our planet. Of course, with the aliens comes the need to police them. Enter Mia Snow, Alien Huntress Extraordinaire!! She is petite and dainty, yet packs an incredible punch! She has the most alien kills of any on the A.I. R. Squad (Alien Investigation and Removal) in New Chicago. She shoots first and asks questions later, while at the same time is incredibly beautiful.
Awaken me Darkly starts out with a murder in which Mia is called in to investigate. An action packed chase later and she is neck deep in a plot so twisty and turny you wonder where she'll come out. I always enjoy a strong, sassy female lead and Mia fits perfectly. In fact, she reminds me a little of Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake, one of my all time favorite heroines.
As in any good story, Mia has personal issues that crop up and surprises that change the course of the plot. I haven't finished yet, but I have placed a hold on the next in this series because I want to find out where Mia's story goes next.
Awaken me Darkly is a little different from your vampire/werewolf novels, but a good new fantasy twist. Stop in and check it out and get on a new reading kick!

From Our Recipe Box to Yours...
Orange Sweet Rolls (taken from Food From My Frontier, Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman)
Dough
2 C. whole milk
1/2 C. granulated sugar
1/2 C. vegetable oil
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
4 1/2 Cups all-purpose flour
1/2 rounded teaspoon baking powder
1/2 rounded teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
Filling
1/2 Cup (1 stick) butter, melted
8 tablespoons orange marmalade
1 Cup lightly packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Icing
Zest and juice of 2 oranges
1 Cup powdered sugar
Dash of salt
1/2 Cup whole milk, more if needed for a pourable consistency
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1. In a large saucepan over low heat, heat the milk, granulated sugar, and oil until warm but not hot. Add the yeast and 4 cups of flour, then mix and transfer to a bowl. Cover and let it rise for at least an hour. 2. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup flour, the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 3. Roll the dough into a long rectangle, about 30 inches wide by 10 inches deep. You'll want it to be as thin as you can get it so that you can add plenty of goo. 4. Drizzle the melted butter all over the surface of the dough. Use your fingers to smear it all around so that it coats evenly. 5. Spread the orange marmalade all over the buttered dough, distributing it as evenly as you can. 6. Sprinkle plenty of brown sugar all over the marmalade...7. And finish with a light sprinkling of salt to offset the sweetness. 8. Using both hands in a back-and-forth motion, gradually roll the dough toward you into one long log. 9. Pinch the seam to seal it. 10. Then slice the log-0'-dough into 1/2 inch pieces. 11. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the rolls in a buttered baking dish and allow them to rise for 20 minutes. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes. 12. While the rolls are baking, make the icing: Add the zest and juice of 2 oranges to a bowl. 13. Add the powdered sugar and salt...14. Some whole milk...15. And some more melted butter because the recipe doesn't already have enough. Just kidding on that last part. 16. Whisk it together until it's nice and smooth and lovely. Your kitchen smells like oranges! Unless you're making this in the garage. In that case, your garage smells like oranges. 17. Pull the rolls out of the oven when they're golden brown and drizzle on the icing right off the bat. 18. The piping hot rolls will suck that gorgeous icing right down into their crevices and the whole thing pretty much becomes a miracle. Serve them warm.

What's in Your Library Bag Wednesday?...
It's Wednesday again and I'm your constant here to ask you What's in Your Library Bag this Wednesday? I'm finishing up Crossed by Ally Condie the second in the Matched trilogy, one of those Dystopian Young Adult Series I've been reading. This one has been kind of hard to get into. I don't know why really. It is written a little differently than the first one. This novel changes voice each chapter. It's written from Cassia's point of view one chapter and Ky's the next. Changing like that shouldn't bother me; in fact I usually enjoy books written this way. I don't know it's something. But, I've started it, I don't hate it and I want to finish it, so on we go. But, the next novel I read is going to be something totally different. I like to change things up; makes life interesting :)! Hopefully, you all are reading great books and can't wait to share with all of us avid readers!! I for one am always looking for something new and fun to try!! So chime in, here or on facbook, "What are you reading that you just can't get enough of?"
My other thoughts on this Wednesday are centered around reading in general. Last week, while I was at conferences, I ran into the high school Remedial Reading Teacher. What she said to me really stuck. We all know that reading is important for success in life, right? But, how much do you realize that it doesn't matter what you read, just that you DO read to and with your children every day. She said to me, " Read every day to your kids, all the time. I don't care if you are reading the newspaper, read it out loud. Look at a magazine together and read that. Read cereal boxes, street signs, novels, directions, etc. Just READ!" She told the story of a student she had a while back that was really struggling with reading; he/she just didn't like it or want to do it. It was hard and no fun. Anyway, she convinced this student to make a commitment for a quarter or semester (I can't remember which) to read 40 minutes a day. She didn't care what he/she read, just that he/she read. Happy ending here is that this particular student raised their reading grade 4 levels in that time!!!!
I agree wholeheartedly. Yes, it is important to let you child read and practice, but is equally important for them to listen and hear the flow of words when you read to them, also. Besides, what great conversation starters stories make that lead to super communication with your children and other loved ones!

I promise you won't regret it!

Here's one of my favorite children's books to read out loud!! Garbage Trucks are the best!

What's in Your Library Bag Wednesday?
What a wonderful Wednesday afternoon!! Can you believe it's 70+ degrees outside?!! I love it!! Have you been reading lately? Or are you getting out and enjoying this weather while we have it?! I've been doing both, but that usually means I am tired because I stay up to read, but oh well. I finished another good book. I read the second in the Birthmarked Trilogy by Caragh O'Brien, Prized. What a great second book! The first book, Birthmarked, was about a gal who broke away from a dystopian society called the Enclave to be thrown into yet another dystopian society in the second novel, Prized. The first one was run by men and the second run by women. What an interesting twist to throw in and I can't wait to see what she throws at me for the third one!! Dystopian type novels are really big for young adult fiction right now and I've read several from the Hunger Games, to Divergent, to Birthmarked and Matched. This isn't my typical style of reading, but I've really enjoyed these novels.
But, those books aren't what I really wanted to talk about. I wanted to give you another new idea to try. I've been getting books for my mother in law lately, and she has come to really love books with the idea of community in them. This has been somewhat of a challenge for me as I haven't read many of this type myself. Although, checking these books out for my mother in law makes me notice whenever another patron is checking one out so that I can get new ideas. I thought I'd list a few here that I've found in case you might like to try one....
Robyn Carr - Virgin River Series & Grace Valley, California Series
Susan Wiggs - Lakeshore Chronicles
Jennifer Chiaverini -Elm Creek Quilts
Jude Deveraux - Edilean series
Hope Ramsay - Last Chance series
JoAnn Ross - Shelter Bay Series
Debbie Macomber - Cedar Cove Series & Blossom Street Series
Ann Ross - Miss Julia Series
Try one, you might like it!! Never know until you pick one up and start reading!

Since it's Friday, and it's Lent, I thought I'd include a fish recipe. I, myself, am not much of a fish person, but this recipe got 4 1/2 stars so I figured it must be worth trying....
See what you think!

What's in Your Library Bag Wednesday...
Wowie Wednesday!! Can you believe it was 60 degrees already by 9 this morning!! In March!! Makes me think we are going to pay for it some time, but for now, let's take it! So, it's Wednesday, and I am wondering What's in Your Library Bag today?
I actually have 3 different books today. When it rains it pours. I wait and wait for my holds to come in and then everything comes at one time and then which do you read first? Problems, problems, I know. Anyway, did I mention that I was reading another dystopian type young adult novel called Birthmarked by Caragh O'Brien? In this dystopia, there is a walled in city called the Enclave that controls all and there is a community outside of the wall, but still under control. Inside the wall you are well to do and have every opportunity; outside the wall, things are rationed according to the Enclave and the first three babies born each month must be turned over to the Enclave within 90 minutes of being born for the "good of all." The main character, Gaia, is a midwife outside of the Enclave who is faced with turning babies over and then her parents being arrested. Gaia grows throughout the novel in character and strength. She learns a lot about herself and what she believes. The ending leads you into the bridge novel Tortured which can be found on Amazon, which leads you into the 2nd in the trilogy, Prized.
Why is it that all of these teenage novels make these young people face harder life choices than any adult novel ever asks of an adult. I don't get it. And, they do an amazing job, better than the adults fare in their novels...
Back to the 2nd in the trilogy, Prized. I have just barely started this one, but the cover tidbit is so intriguing...It takes Gaia from one dystopia into another one, only different. I can't wait to see the challenges that await her in this one.
If the idea of a dystopia interests you, stop in. There is a definite trend in this type of novel for young adults right now. I'm sure we can find one that you'll enjoy!! If it doesn't interest you, stop in anyway. We'll find you something else you'll love!

From Our Recipe Box to Yours...Sunday Special
Green Velvet Cake (recipe by Bakerella)
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cocoa
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup oil
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 Tablespoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 oz green food coloring
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Grease your cake pans, muffin tins, whoopie pie pans, whatever method you decide to go with. Or be crazy like me and do them all.
Lightly stir eggs in a medium bowl with whisk. Add in remaining liquid ingredients. Whisk until blended and sit aside. I waited until the very end to add the food coloring, because frankly, that much food coloring scares me and I had to work out the courage to do it.
Place all dry ingredients in your mixing bowl and stir together well.
Now take a deep breath and dump all that food coloring, yes the entire bottle, into the wet ingredients.
Not too bad. But now stir…
Pour your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients and mix on medium-high for about a minute or two until well combined and green as the day is long. Note, this is NOT the time to accidentally crank the Kitcheaid on to high. Unless you want a green, and slightly vinegar smelling kitchen.
Pour the batter into cake pans or cupcake pans. I did the cake and cupcakes first, and than added 1/4 cup of flour to the remaining batter to thicken it up a bit before putting it in the whoopie pie pan.
Baking times will vary based on what you are using. For one 8″ cake pan, it was about 22 minutes for me.
Regular size cupcakes were around 16, mini cupcakes about 13 and the whoopie pie pan was about 13 as well.
Let cook for 10-15 minutes and than remove from pans.
While cooling, prepare frosting. You can either open a can of your favorite, or go the from scratch route. Here’s the recipe I used…
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1 oz package of softened cream cheese
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 bag powdered sugar (2 lb bag)
- Milk as needed
Cream together cream cheese, butter and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add in powdered sugar and continue mixing. I add in milk as needed to get to the desired consistency.
You can frost straight from the bowl, though I use my handy Ziploc bag to pipe on my frosting.
Now frost and decorate until your little heart is content. I used about half of my frosting for the green velvet cupcakes and green velvet whoopie pies, and put the remainder in the fridge to be used to make green velvet cake pops. Here are some of the super sweet cupcakes…

I just was thinking about St. Patrick's Day and the fact that we are offering a 4th class on making Cake Balls here at the library!! Call for details and to register 319-352-1223!!

Thoughts for a Thursday...
Here's a word I am sure that you all know the meaning of, but I bet you didn't know where it came from! So in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday tomorrow, today's word is....
nerd
nerd
1951, U.S. student slang, probably an alteration of 1940s slang nert "stupid or crazy person," itself an alteration of nut. The word turns up in a Dr. Seuss book from 1950 ("If I Ran the Zoo"), which may have contributed to its rise. Adjective nerdy is from 1978.
