Experimental Recipe

The other day I was watching the food Network with my father in-law and sister in-law and 3 beautiful little girls. It was the Show for the big game Tyler Florence made a Mexican Pork Chili that looked great so I looked at the recipe and changed it up a little Instead of pork I used chicken and left out the masa to make it thick. I shredded the chicken and made the sauce I turned it into burrito's they were absolutely great. So tomorrow I am going to use the leftovers to make a green chile stew. I also made homemade Kettle Corn thanks to the mother in-law that was talking about kettle corn yesterday got me craving for it.

A great dinner

So I did one of the things on my new years list. I used my smoker today and It worked great. I made pork loin. Shane made a great rub for the pork I marinaded it for 1 day, and I smoked it using hickory wood it took me most of the afternoon to make sure the smoker stayed hot but it was well worth it in the end. I will be trying it again this weekend with chicken. I also made grilled potato's and homemade beer bread it was so yummy. And when the girls eat all of there dinner I know it had to be good. And after the dinner Shane and I went for our evening walk. So I actually did 2 things on the list.

New Years Resolution's

Well not really a resolution because I never stick to them. I made a list of things I want to get to before next year.

1. Be more Healthy by eating better but not starving myself. I don't need a diet.
2. Do more yoga
3. Continue walking 3 or more times a week
4. Read more
5. Take more classes to get closer to my degree in nursing going back in April for phlebotomy.
6. Take the rest of my photography classes
7. Go on more trips San Diego In April
8. Cook more try new things
9. Do more Scrapbooking
10. Do more Painting
11. Learn how to use my smoker
12. Be less stressed over nothing

So I set some goals for myself this year and I hope I can get to all of them.

It's Been So Long

It feels like it has been forever since the last post. Everything In the last month has been so crazy between the Holidays and New Years visitors I have not had time to even download the pictures in my camera never mind post. So Christmas was very exciting got together with family that we dont see very often. Shane and I went on a snowboarding trip Christmas Day that was exciting we never had gone before so we decided to take a 2 hour lesson it was very fun but scary.

On December 28th Pam and Jay arrived. That week Just flew by we went and saw some great places. On New Years we went to my mother inlaws house and had a great dinner.It was nice spending New Years with great people. The next day Pam and I went with my mother inlaw for a girls day shopping It was a great day we had so much fun. During the week we visited Harley Davidson dealers and Madison decided she was going to be like Jay and get one when she could drive.But if Grandma has a say in it, it will never happen. "over her dead body" We also went to the

What a beautiful Place.

We also went snowboarding again last weekend But this time we went to snowbowl in Flagstaff not as fun as sunrise and we forgot our camera so no pictures. Other than getting a slight fracture in my arm we had fun. Shane and I can just go for a drive and we have so much fun together. We are definitely soulmates.
