Recipe of the Week

Okay, so I forgot to post last week in midst of the sicky chaos. I know Ashley you asked for something semi low fat. Well I am a fat cooker but I will see what I can do :o)! I am posting two recipe's today to make up for last week. Both of these recipe's are fantastic.

The first one is a great appetizer and is called Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeno's. It is absolutely delicious and is great for parties.
And this next one is my personal favourite. It isn't too high in fat and is actually relatively healthy.If you like any Greek or Mediterranean food you are sure to love this. It is call Greek Chicken Pasta and is one of the freshest and tastiest dishes I have ever made. My only thought on this dish is that it makes a lot so it is one that is good for company or you can cut down the amount by at least half for a family of 4.Please leave comments once you've tried them and let me know what you think. ENJOY!

Recipe of the Week

Okay so I have had several requests for recipes that I like to eat and make and are simple. So every Tuesday I am going to update my blog and add a new recipe. This week's will be Chicken Flauta's. I got raves about this recipe and it is so easy to make. I made it for Koen's birthday party and it really is delicious and is fresh so that makes it slightly healthier. I would be happy to send you this recipe card to your email if you would like it. Just leave a comment and let me know.

I personally make my cards into a 4x6 and then print them at Walmart or on my home computer and put them in a cheap photo album because it is covered from spills and also you can pull the card out if you need to see it better. I do design all my own cards and you can do it as well. ENJOY!

My little Rock STAR!

So for those of you who know about our little Emmaleigh you know that she is not on short supply of personality. I love all of my kids so much but what I love the most is how God gives us the ability to love them each in their own way. One of my favourite things about Emmaleigh is how much she lights up a room. Her emotions are full blast and there is no holding back. I pray constantly that she will not let people convince her that she is wrong to be that way. I know in some ways her emotions need to be guided to better choices but I never want them to be dampened because that is who she is and I know she will do wonderful things in her life if she allows God to run it and uses the gifts he has given her.

For those of you who don't know, she is obsessed with Hannah Montana. Emmaleigh has said, "I am Hannah Montana's biggest fan, I even own one of her CD's." I personally find that hysterical. We have decided that the show is inappropriate for her age group and so she is just allowed to have the CD and a doll. She does own several articles of clothing with her face plastered on it as well. Below is a short video of Emmaleigh singing and dancing to Hannah Montana's, "The Best of Both World's." Enjoy! (Also you will notice Koen dancing in the background as he also tries to hold up his pants because he is so skinny.)
