Tomatillo Dressing

This week the only new recipe I tried was the Cafe Rio dressing. It was so yummy that I literally ate it all week! My kids loved it too so that was a plus :) Thayne hasn't complained
yet but I'm sure if we have it anytime soon he'll be bugged.
I am going to try a new recipe tonight, hopefully. Comment if you have any good suggestions!

Sausage and Lentil Soup!

So for my second recipe of the week Thiago and I decided to make daddy this recipe I found online... It was SOOOO DELICIOUS! This will have to be on the menu more often for sure! I cannot believe how much Thayne and the kids ate too because of all the veggies. So healthy and so good!

Slumber Party!

Yay! Tonight I'm having a "Slumber Party" aka AN ALL GIRLS NIGHT with NO kids!!! :) I'm so excited. I love these parties but have never actually held one. I hope a lot of girls come, the more girls, the more fun!

Fajitas!

The fajitas turned out delicious! I was pretty impressed with how easy they were to make but don't know how often I will actually be able to make them since the boys refused to eat the peppers :P I really want them to love all fruits and vegetables but don't know how to make them actually try them. I thought if I had Thiago help me cook he would be more willing but that didn't work out as planned!
I have yet to come up with another recipe to try this week...

End of January?

I can't believe it's already the end of January!!! Time flies right past! We have been staying busy working and watching Thayne playing derby with the Uinta Madness boys. I am so increadibly proud of my sweet husband and just a little jealous! He is doing so good and has now decided to quit smoking for good and also quit soda. He is such a good motivation and role model for the boys and I! I know he will only get faster and better on his skates by cutting those two bad habbits out.
My goal that I have set for myself for the month of February is to try one or two new recipes a week. We really have been bad about going out to eat the past few weeks and I need to be the strong one at putting this to an end. It will be much cheaper and healthier for us to eat at home so I'm hoping this is a good way for us feed our cravings for other foods. What's on the menu tonight; FAJITAS! I'm so excited, I have never made these before. I will let you all you know how they turn out ;)

Donations needed!

This is for my friend and co-worker Amber Packer. We are trying to raise money to help pay some of the chemo medical bills that have incurred. In march 2010 Amber got diagnosed with Choriocarsinoma cancer. She got diagnosed a few months after her son was born and she has battled ...and fought this cancer. On her son's first birthday she got a call saying the cancer was gone. Over the last year she had chemo bills piling up. We are trying to help raise money to help her pay off her medical bills. We are in need of donations to sale and sponsers. Our goal is to raise $15,000. Thank you all for your love and support.

Happy New Year!~

As much as I would like to improve in my day to day life I have come up with the top ten for this years resolution. Here they are in no particular order:
*BUDGET! We have been trying to stick with The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey and I am determined to give it my all this year!
*Paint my nails at least once a week
*Wear at least mascara EVERY DAY!
*Do more fun activities with my boys
*Become more crafty
*As soon as Lola is born get back into Derby full force
*Get and stay organized
I'm sure there is more but these are my top ones. I tried to think of things I could actually stick with and it shouldn't be too hard considering these are all pretty important to me. I know this will be a great year for us,.. HAPPY 2012!
