Ruffles & Scarfs

I LOVE J-Crew, or as my friend Lindsey says J-Crack. She is right because from the moment you walk in the door you tell yourself two things:

1. I am going to spend a lot of money
2. I need an entire new wardrobe.

Everything is super cute and fun ... I just love the new Spring line. Scarfs and ruffles are perfect this time of year, anything around my neck that camouflage my white chest is must. Here are some of my favs from the new arrivals:

Right Around the Corner

SPRING is right around the corner and what is better than the anticipation of Spring? Spring is my favorite time of year, everyone coming out of hibernation, walking, biking and playing in the yards around our neighborhood makes me so happy. I LOVE our neighborhood, it is so full of life in this time of year. I can't believe March is here and April is right around the corner. Don't forget to Spring ahead next Sunday the 14th!!! YAY for more light. Longer days makes for more enjoyable evenings especially after a longs days work. Here are a few fun pictures to make you feel that Spring really is right around the corner.

Mexican night!

We love MEXICAN NIGHT at the Sullivan house! Dinner was amazing and the movie was pretty good, so definitely rent couples retreat which I wrote about in the previous blog and make enchiladas. Hope you and yours has a happy date night.


Bean Enchiladas

2 cans (larger cans) mild enchiladas
8 tortillas
2 1/2 c pepper jack cheese
1 c red kidney beans
1/4 tsp. cumin
1 tsp chili
3-4 pieces shredded chicken (optional)

Drain and rinse bean. Add cumin and chili powder.

Mash beans with a fork.

Pour 1 cup enchilada sauce and 1/2 cup cheese in bean mixture.

Brush remaining sauce over shells.

Stuff with bean mixture and roll up.

Cover 9x13 pan with a thin layer of sauce. Place tortilla seem side down in pan. Continue stuffing and pour remaining sauce over enchiladas.

You can use whole wheat tortillas as well or white. I use both.

Top with remaining cheese. Cook at 350 for 15-20 minutes.

ENJOY

TGIF

TGIF!!!! I am so excited today is Friday and we have two days ahead of us to do WHATEVER WE WANT!!!! YAY! It sure has been a busy week. Bible study, tennis and girls night...phew I am exhausted. Tonight I have made enchiladas and my hubby and I are going to fill our bellies with good food and dessert and watch a movie!!! The movie is:

Here is the synopsis:

Vince Vaughn leads an all-star cast in the laugh-out-loud comedy about eight friends whose vacation in paradise is one they'll never forget. Their group-rate vacation comes at a price when they discover that participation in the resort's unconventional couples therapy activities is anything but optional. Co-starring Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau, Faizon Love, Kristin Davis, Kristen Bell and Malin Akerman, "Couples Retreat" is a hilarious party in paradise, loaded with laughter and fun!

I sure hope it is good. We love Vince Vaughn! Hope you enjoy your night as much as I am looking forward to mine. Stay tuned for the enchilada recipe!!!!

Dessert

Guilt Free with Friends

We had supper with some friends on Saturday night and I brought dessert. Everyone loves banana pudding so I decided to make it. Matt and I LOVE peanut butter and when I mean love we go through the JIF extra crunchy, large jars from Costco in a week and a half...maybe less.....CRAZY. I always try to incorporate peanut butter into everything because we love it and it is a great source of protein so I found this amazing recipe. The serving says 12 but I would say 8... am I a PIG?!??!! Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!!

Peanut Butter Banana Pudding

PREPERATION: Prepare pudding mix according to package directions, using a whisk and 2 cups fat-free milk. (Do not use an electric mixer.) Add peanut butter and sour cream, stirring well with a wire whisk. Set aside.

Top wafers with one-third each of pudding mixture, banana slices, and whipped topping.

Repeat layers twice using remaining wafers, pudding mixture, banana slices, and whipped topping.

Cover and chill at least 2 hours. To garnish, peel and slice remaining 2 bananas; arrange slices around outer edges of dish. Yield: 12 servings.

I love Wolferman's

Not sure if any of you bloggers out there know about Wolfermans's but they have the most scrumptious English muffins and make GREAT gift sets. Every Christmas my aunt and uncle send our family an marvelous gift set of English muffins and we all look forward to it every year. Make it a tradition in your family. It is also great for other holidays, hostess gifts, for new mommies and daddies or whatever your little heart desires.

For Valentine's Day my brothers and I sent my mom a Valentine's gift set that included:

Chocolate Chip Signature English Muffins, Cinnamon Chip Scone, Cinnamon Roll,Old-Fashioned Strawberry Preserves, Cocoa and look at the cute box.
