I Grew Up With Tag

Well, friends, it's my birthday month! So to 'celebrate' I've created this tag that is just a combinations of list that will give you some idea of the things we bloggers grew up with. Not everything mentioned will be favorites, but they were around when bloggers were growing up. (Okay, personally, most of my answers will be favorites.) Now, without further ado:

Tag Rules:

Use the tag picture (optional)

Answer the questions

Tag (at least) two other bloggers

Simple...right?

Book Characters I Grew Up With:

(List as many as you want!)

Jack and Annie

(From the Magic Tree House Series, but I don't know if I "grew" with them, because I don't remember them aging...hmmm ;))

Sam

(From Phantom Stallion Series)

Harry, Hermione, and Ron

(Harry Potter Series, literally, grew up with them. I had to wait until the books were written to read them.)

Family Food I Grew Up With:

(at last three things, can be seasonal and not always 'favorites' ;D)

Christmas puffballs!

(Taught to me by my great-grandma. Puffed rice with caramel to create scrumptious balls. The problem, the recipe is rather a verbal one. Some of this, some of that, eyeball this.)

Roast and Veggies on Sundays

(at my grandparent's house)

Peanut Butter Fudge

(Made around Christmastime--stinks up the whole house!! :P Hehehe)

Fruit Pizza!

(delicious stuff, made with a sweet 'crust' and some kind of 'sauce' and then lots of seasonal fruits! Yes, you should all be very jealous! ;D :D )

TV Shows I Grew Up With:
