I made that today, i added chicken and i made some dumplings cause that sounded good. then I made a smoothie with milk, Ice cubes, some vanilla and a pina colada frozen drink mix, i blended it up in a blender and topped the glass with some sugar and WA-LA! there you have it, a perfect heart warming lunch for a cold winters day!

Christmas time!!! yahoo!!

On Monday Aaron and i got our very first Christmas tree together! and it's a bubble tree, yes you read right...bubble tree my cousins invented it, it has a tube up the middle like the trunk and you feel it with water and bubbles come up the middle, and you can also change the color of the water with the LED lights in the bottom! It is so fun, we went and bought all of the ornaments and we decorated it together for family night, and it turned out amazing, i love it! After it was all done we sat and stared and drank eggnog, it was the best ! i wish it could be Christmas all year!

Pie, Flowers and Coke!

So the other day I was having a pretty hard time at work it seemed liked everyone just wanted to yell at me, to my suprise i came home just wanting a hug....well i got that but, when i walked downstairs i saw flowers, i was so excited, Aaron knew i was having a bad day so he bought me flowers, i wish i would have taken a picture of them but i forgot, they were so pretty!!!! That's not all, when i opened the fridge there was PIE, i asked him if my mom made it and he said no, then i asked him if someone brought it over, and he said no.....i made it! i was so supprised he made a pie, all by himself . and look how fancy it was, it tasted good to! i and to top it of he bought me a coke that looked like an ornament! it made my day 10 times better, i didn't care that i was just yelled at all day and i had a headache, all i could think of was how much i love Aaron, and how hard he worked to make my day better! i love him!!!!!! he is always the first one to cheer me up and let me know that everything will be okay, i am so grateful i have him! Aaron I will love you forever, you are such a huge blessing in in my life!!!

more food!!!

Ya I know, i don't update m blog forever and the first thing i put on here is more food.....hey its better then nothing....right? Nothing exciting has really happened, plus my camera is broken so if anything did happen you wouldn't know, ugh. Anyways, i'm done with that little tangent. ok not yet, the only reason i have this picture is bc we took it with Aarons computer, :) okay now i'm done....really. So a couple weeks ago i made BBQ chicken pizza and portebelo mushroom fries, it was way good, i was proud. if you would like to know how to do it, just let me know. I don't feel like writing the secret recipe for everyone to see! hahaha jk! its hardly a secret. but honestly, i'm just lazy! :)

What's cooking?

okay so the other night Aaron and I went on a date to Olive Garden and Aaron ordered steak gorgnzola alrfedo! It was so good, so I decided to try and make it. Here is what I did,

first I marinated the steaks ( I thinkg they were skirt steaks im not sure)

I marinated them in

- balsamic vinegar

- soy sauce

- and some italian seasonings, parsley and salt and pepper.

I let it marinate while I went to school co about 4 hours.

I came home and I put the steaks in a sautee pan with some of the marinade, it wanst very long just until they were done.

Then I sauteed:

1 red bell pepper

when they were tender I added:

1 tomato

and some pine nuts

after a few minutes I took that mix out and I wilted some spinach in the pan with a little olive oil.

then I cooked some fettucini noodles and warmed up some alfredo sauce, I dished that all up and I put the bell pepper mix, the spincah and steak on top with some little cube of cheese! wahla! It was good. I don't know if it was as good as Olive Garden ...but I tried!

Halloween party!

brrrr! the hay ride was freezing but it was so fun!

Don't we look creepy! I think so! :)
Boogity blue man group? bugs? who know what they are!


Aaron and his mom! I love it!

Babysitting!!!

This is after she ate ravioli fo lunch and she was a mess so I gave her a bath, and I had no idea her hair was so long! I had to take a picture!

Look how close he got?
This is my camera bag that somehow ended up in the toilet, hmmm wonder who did it?! :)

Ok! So I was going through everyones blogs tonight just for fun and Aaron's cousin Tacia had a really good idea, she started a blog about her cooking adventures and I thought hmmm.... thats a great idea, so i hope Tacia doesn't mind me doing this. Im not going to start a new blog but whenever I make something good that turns out I will just post what I made and the recipe. :)

I love cooking and I love to experiment. So sometimes things work and sometimes they don't! :)
Tonight Aaron worked late, when he works late his work feeds him dinner, so I didn't make dinner.....but I did make a nummy dessert. It was way easy too...... so first I baked pumpkin bread, and yes it was from a mix, I just so happened to have it, so I baked that. Then I made my mom's
butter sauce to go on top which is, 1 cup sugar,1/2 cup butter, pinch of salt, and 3/4 cup of evaporated milk and you bring that to a boil and then you add 1/2 tsp. of vanilla, Then Its done. When the pumpkin bread was cool enough to cut ..... I cut it :) and then I poured some on the top and then topped it off with whip cream! it was way yummy! so that's my first posted recipe! hope
you enjoy!

Aaron + Chelsea
