Baked Chicken Taquitos


Last night we had chicken taquitos, another recipe I got from My Kitchen Cafe I did take quite a bit of creative liberty with this recipe. I sauteed onions, mushrooms, orange and red peppers (here's the thing, when you buy the big bag of mini peppers at Costco you really have to use them a lot so they don't go bad and you have to throw them away, I'm neurotic about waste, we'll have to talk about that some other time though) also, I didn't have enough cream cheese so I used some shredded cheddar and some cotija (mexican cheese). Everyone thought they tasted good but we are a spicey family so next time I'll add a little hot sauce or something. Try these, I hope you enjoy them.

I've become a food blog addict, well, not really, but I do like to look at them. The other day I made this recipe that I found on My Kitchen Cafe (I really hope my link worked, if not I'll try again another time) We really liked it. Next time I make it I will probably sautee some onions and red and yellow peppers to put in it. Hope you enjoy this recipe. I'll post more recipes that our family loves, with pictures hopefully. 3 times this week I've forgotten to take the camera with me to events that would have been fun to post about :(

Okay, this is why I want my own laptop. I want to lounge around on the couch while I'm watching TV and look things up or play games. Nic is obviously having fun with that big smile on her face. I love ya nic nac.

Erica and Kim watching for birds



One of Kim's (the cat) favorite things to do this time of year is watch for birds. She makes this horrifying clicking noise that freaks me out. Erica on the other hand likes it. This morning she was watching out the window for birds with Kim.

Hi everyone, so, this is my first post. You can tell by my blog name what my current mantra is. My goal is to make my blog uplifting. But I guess if I write a downer blog you'll know that it isn't a good day. So today is a wonderful day, I feel good, optimistic and most importantly, calm

Thanks Brit, for helping get my blog up. Hopefully soon I'll learn how to do pictures.
