New storm door!!!- Day 12

This is our lovely storm door! Erik and I installed it today, it took us about 3 hours to install it (Erik did most of the work). I love it, this was our Christmas present from my mom! She had asked us what we wanted for Christmas and we had told her we were going to get a storm door, and she said she would get it for us! She gave us a gift card to Home Depot, and we went out today and bought it.

We also had football practice today, and it really wore me out! After practice we came back and had a super yummy BBQ with Erik's family, and watched Band of Brothers. I fell asleep and didn't get to see either episode, but we have the disks so I will watch them on my day off.

That's all for today folks! Have a great night!

Erik's new jacket.- Day 11

Erik loves jackets :) here is his new snowboarding jacket, we got a really really sweet deal on it.

Thirsty Thursday?- Day 10

All I want to do today is curl up on my couch and read my Kindle. My current book is " Water for Elephants", which was recommend by my bestest friend Bethany.

My amazing husband gave me this kindle for Christmas, and I love it. I debated with myself for a long time as to whether I wanted a Kindle or not, afterall who doesn't love the smell of a new book... but when I realized that my books were going to start overflowing our office, I decided to ask for a Kindle. Sometimes I walk into a bookstore to get a hint of that new book smell....I kid kid.. ok no really I do, maybe they should make a "New Book" scented air freshener.

Anyway, rainy days make me want to read :)

The headlight of my car is out, and during lunch today I went to sears to get a new headlight and replace it. I got the new headlight, but when we opened the hood of my car (in the pouring rain) we discovered that I need a wrench in order to take off the headlight. So with a total fail we headed back to work. After work Kirstie called me on my way to the gas station and told me to pull over, because she had the wrench we needed to unscrew my headlight. Long story short in the pouring rain (again) at the 7-11 gas station, Kirstie and I were in a battle with my headlight. We eventually put the headlight back into place (after a battle, the headlight might have won a couple rounds, but we won the battle) and I was off to sit in traffic on my way home. Thank you Kirstie for helping me! :)

That's all for today, everyone have a happy rainy day!

I miss Jamie! - Day 8

Today's picture is of the coupon from Chipotle where I had lunch today with my sister from another mister, Jamie :)

Jamie and I used to work on the same project at work, until I was transferred... sad face. We used to have lunch together everyday, and I miss it. It's harder for us to see each other now because our offices are about 10 min apart :( Bleh, but we make the most of our time together and laugh like its our job. Anyway, I love her, so I'm dedicating my picture of the day to her!

Chicken Enchilada Pasta, Whaaat?

Oh man, this chicken enchilada pasta was amazing, it used the concept of stuffed shells, substituting a refried bean, and veggies mixture instead of the traditional ricotta cheese business. I used fat free refried beans, and basically the mixture was: onion, refried beans, red pepper, jalapeño and cheese. The hardest part was stuffing the shells, they are so darn slippery.

I have a lot of this leftover, seeing as how the recipe serves 8-10 people, so if you want some (Splory) come over! hehe. Here is the recipe:

Chicken Enchilada Pasta

Ingredients

2 cups cooked, diced chicken

1/2 packet of taco seasoning

salt and pepper

3 peppers of your choice, diced

1 red onion, diced

2 cans red enchilada sauce

1 lb jumbo shells, cooked

2 cups shredded cheese

1 15 oz can of refried beans

1/4 cup green onions

olive oil

Directions:

Sauté onions and peppers in olive oil until soft. Add in chicken, beans and taco seasoning and warm through. Add in 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce and another 1/2 cup of cheese. Remove from heat.

Spread about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish. Stuff cooked shells with your chicken/bean mixture. Pour remaining sauce over top and bake covered for 30 minutes. Top with cheese and bake uncovered for another 5 minutes. Top with green onion, sour cream and tortilla chips (optional)

We were cleaning up the kitchen and Erik found this:

Ew, hopefully no one will ever have to see this book again, and yes we did throw it away!

Alright that’s all for today!

Sunday Rainy Sunday

Ella, Erik and I went over to my mommy’s house in the morning. We took Ella over there so she can play with Ava, while Erik and I ran a few errands. We went to Ski Chalet to try on jackets for Erik and pants for me, so we could see what sizes we were, in case we found a good deal on something online. As it turns out, we did find a great deal online, Erik wanted a new snowboarding jacket, and we have been searching for one for a few weeks now. Well we finally found one, and got a ridiculously good deal on it. We ordered it and it should be in sometime this week, I’ll put pictures up when it comes in. We also went to Home Depot to get grass seed, I can’t wait for this weekend, when we can get our hands dirty in the yard. (PS. I say that I love yard work now, keep an eye out to see how long that lasts.)

After we got back from my mom’s house, it was dinner time, and we had a rotisserie chicken I had gotten from Giant on Friday that we still needed to eat. So we decided to make buffalo chicken sandwiches, but we didn’t have any buffalo wing sauce. Erik put together a really yummy sauce, made from: Texas Pete’s hot sauce, Worchester sauce, brown sugar, butter, and a dash of honey. You can see the picture of him cooking it in my previous post, but here is the chicken cooking in the delish sauce:

It was a bit too spicy for me, so Erik had to eat my sandwich too, but here they are:

After dinner we finally got to watch “The Social Network”, I know we are super behind on the times, which is mainly because we are obsessed with the show “The Wire” and have been getting that with our Netflix account, but I digress... The Social Network was a really good movie, but I am really glad it didn’t win Best Picture of the Year. So far we have seen “Black Swan” and “The Social Network”, our goal is to see all of the movies that were nominated.

Okie that is all for today!
