Spring Update

So John and I got the great opportunity to get out of Rexburg for 48 magical hours! We went down to Utah for the festival of colors and our cute niece and nephews birthday celebrations! It was so nice getting out of Rexburg! We went straight to the festival of colors with Johns sister Brittany and her husband Janssen. After that we got cleaned up and met up with my friend Kendra and her husband Jeff and their adorable little girl Alayna! We ate dinner at IN n Out burger. YUM! So nice to have more meal selections than Rexburg... You notice a theme of how much I loathe the Burg right now? haha. Anyway Sunday we made delish rolls for dinner and had a great time spending time with family. I love leaving Rexburg and I love family time!

When we were clean before we headed into the madness!

Bacon Herb Cupcake Review

Ok so this last month the recipe that I tried that was new, besides the lime avocado chicken wraps, was the Bacon Herb Cupcakes that I posted on my sidebar. The first time I made them I accidentally used baking soda instead of powder. Needless to say the first bit i took was promptly spit back out. NASTY! However when I re-read the recipe and learned of my mistake I remade them. Boy are they delish when made right! I made them at full cupcake size because I didn't have a mini pan. However I think the mini size would be better. this is definitely a bite size dish. Its a very different tasting muffin but delicious. I definitely recommend the cream cheese on top. It really seals the deal and how can anyone not like cream cheese?

Anyway if you made the recipe let me know how you liked it. If not. Read on and enjoy your Sunday.

A lil bit of our life

Well its been awhile again since I've updated. And really I have no good excuse.... I'm just busy haha. I work everynight of the week except Sundays. And my morning are filled with... well to be honest SLEEP. haha! And Carlos, but he usually naps with me. Anyway here are some pictures of the things that John and I have gotten to do over the past couple of months!

Bris Farewell dinner! She is back in texas and me and BETHIE miss her!

Dinner with some very good friends and some new friends too :)

Carlos is always a hand full, good thing he is so cute!

John has been playing hockey! He is a man obsessed

But its getting him in shape so its sexy!

We took a weekend break from Rexi and went to VEGAS!

So not too many exciting things to report. Life is life and it just moves forward. We are house and job hunting in VA mostly and FL on the side and a little dash of NC. So we will see where we end up. I want to buy a house. SO BAD! But they are expensive :( So if you hear of any good deals in those states lemme know ;) Other than preparing for the Big Move back east life is simple. We are just biding our time left here in Rexburg till we can get out and actually start our life somewhere a little bit warmer, sunnier, and just better in general!

P.s. I have the best husband in the world. Just Cause.

XOXO

The most amazing Waffles EVER.

Hello dear friends!

I have been absent once again. Life is just so busy and wonderful! A quick update and then on to the waffles. John is playing Ice Hockey this semester WOOT! Carlos is hyper and playful and oh so funny. I'm working at ARTCO as a bridal consultant. John signed on with Pinnacle (I know I know.. ew) BUT they are taking us to Las Vegas ( woot! ). We leave for the Vegas on the 18th and stay for the whole weekend. While we are there John has to work and I'm going to work on my tan by the pool and enjoy weather that has a + as opposed to a - .

AND>>>> we are eating at... wait for it..... wait for it.... MESA GRILL! The one and only BOBBY FLAYS restaurant at Caesars Palace.

BBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

Bobby flay is only the most amazing Iron chef ever! and I get to eat his food! BAH! I think I might die of happiness! When we called to make the reservation we seriously got the last one for the whole weekend. *faints*

Anyway on to the waffles. These are no surprise a bobby flay recipe, but I swear I'm not super biased on these. When I went to London with my family we had the most delish waffles in Covent Garden. D E L I S H! so I had been keeping my eye out for a recipe that would somehow give reason to why these waffles were so good compared to regular belgium waffles. They are much more dense and sweeter and are doughy and moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. Finally one night as I was flipping through the channels Bobby happened to be doing a Throwdown with a waffle cart chef in NYC. This guy in NYC was making these waffles I'd had in London. BAH! PERFECTION! I found the name and after 2 years of hunting I have found the recipe.

Ladies and gents, I give you Leige Waffles. Only the single most delicious breakfast food known to man, woman, and anyone with taste buds. Your welcome.

LEIGE WAFFLES
