Memories

I hope that one day some of the pictures I take will take me back to remember the sounds of that day.

For instance, Ellyn squealing with laughter as the waves chase her out of the water.

The crashing of waves on the beach as we walk along and find foot prints

and shells in the sand.

Pictures can take us back to places that we have cherished and bring back memories of long ago, while memories of today are made.

What's for Dinner?

This is the never ending question in almost every family. It is almost always asked by Tate as soon as he walks in the door. Although, lately I have had dinner ready and waiting for him by the time he gets home- it is football season.

Tonight's answer to the question is....Feta and Bacon Stuffed Chicken.

Yummy! This was great! Very rich flavors. I could only eat half, because it was filling. Feta, sour cream, bacon, pepper and oregano were the stuffing. You then coat the stuffed chicken with flour, dredge in egg, coat in bread crumbs and then brown it in the bacon grease. To finish cooking through you bake it for about 20-25 minutes. OH MY! I recommend that you try this at least once. I am sure that I will make it again, but not just for us. Bekah was one of the only kids that did not like the filling, but that is okay, I told them that if they didn't like the filling they still had to eat the chicken. Here are the delicious pictures!

Yumm!!

 

 

 

There you go! I served rice as the side, and it was perfect. The recipe also in cludes directions for Onion Mashed Potatoes. I opted for the rice since we already had mashed potatoes for dinner the other night.

Give it a try and tell me what you think!

Enjoy!

"Where were you when....?"

This is a question that is all over the news as September 11th approaches. Here are the answers to the big question for my lifetime.

1. Where were you when the Challenger exploded? I was at Cleveland Elementary walking by the Library when I saw it.

2. Where were you when the Twin Towers were hit? I was working at Quality Dining and was 2  months pregnant with Rebekah.

Time seems to stop. Those are the questions for my generation.

The questions for our parents ad grand parents? Where were you when Pearl Harbor was bombed? Where were you when Kennedy was shot? And then of course the two above.

What are your answers to the above questions? Did I miss one for my generation or any other?

What prompted this blog this morning? A story on CBS Early show comparing Pearl Harbor and the Twin Towers. Below is the link if you would like to see it.

Tequila

Yup, tequila. I made the Tequila Lime Burgers last night for dinner. OH were they good! Moist. Very moist. They barely stayed together. I added some extra ingredients because I just had the feeling they were not going to stay together. But, they were good! Virginia ate 2 of them! Here is the link.

As our side we had chips and salsa.

I guess that if I am going to tell you about these burgers I should take pictures of them. I am sure that we will be making these again, so pictures will come!

Enjoy!

Burgers!

I have been on a burger kick as of late. At least one night a week we have been having burgers. And not just any burgers. I have been getting recipes online for different flavors.

Two weeks ago I made Feta Stuffed Burgers- AWESOME!! I did not make these for the kids as I was unsure how they would like them. But, Tate and I loved them. They were packed with flavor.

So today I have found a recipe for Tequila Burgers! Oh, we are so trying this one! I am going to wait to try these until I have tried them. I hope that they are just as good as the other two! I need to figure out what Montreal steak seasoning is....anyone know?
