Yummy - ness

I think Pooh said it best when he said, "Oohhh! There's a rumbly in my tumbly!". I recently bought Hans a 50 cent winnie the pooh toy and it brought to mind a couple of yummy things I wanted to share.

First, let me start with dessert. {Cause let's face it, we ALL want to start with dessert!} I'm obsessed with making this. So simple, easy, and D-licious!



Double Chocolate Mocha Trilfe

Ingredients

1 Package brownie mix
1 3/4 cup of cold milk
2 (3.3ounce) packages of Instant White Chocolate Pudding Mix
4 teaspoons instant coffee granules
2 cups frozen whipped topping (we use fat free cool whip)
Crushed Heath Bars

Directions

Prepare brownies according to the package instructions. Bake and cool completely. Cut into 1 inch cubes. (except ours always fall apart so we just put random pieces of brownies for each layer.)

In a medium bowl, mix together pudding and cold milk until mixture begins to thicken. Dissolve coffee granules in water, mix with pudding. Fold in whipped topping.

Begin layerin' up your masterpiece. 1/3 brownies, 1/3 pudding mixture, 1/3 crushed heath mixture (aka. bits 'o heaven)

Ok, now on to the main dish. I first discovered this staple meal from Minnesota Mama . Gotta love Mama's from Minnesota! Especially, when they are Mama's from Minnesota that deliver AWESOME recipes!! Let me tell ya, it's scrumptious! Like the Trifle dessert, this meal is so simple and {bonus} it makes your house smell oh-so-wonderful.



Chili Chicken Tacos


2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup prepared salsa
1 Tbsp. chopped canned chipotle chiles in adobo
1 (scant) Tbsp. chili powder
salt
ground pepper
*I like to add some corn and black beans to the slow cooker as well! Also, to get a little 'zip', I add a little more chiles!


Combine ingredients in a slow cooker. Cover; cook on high 4 hours (or on low 8 hours).

Shred chicken, moisten with a little of the cooking juices. Serve in warm flour tortillas with a little fresh lime juice, shredded white cheddar cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and sour cream.

This recipe also lends itself to other great left over options: Nachos, Fajitas, and Stuffed Green Peppers. Oh, the possibilities are endless.... =-)


Enjoy!!!

10 Minutes to a room you'll love

I'm wondering what my husband will think when he asks me "What did you do today?" and my answer won't involve shopping! Wait, I take that back, it DID involve shopping....shopping from my house (Nester Style)! The Nesting Place has been having a series on how to re-vamp rooms in your house in just 10 minutes. She encourages you to find things around your room and just add some changes here and there. I was inspired and decided to rise and shine early Saturday morning (with the help of some snow blowers outside) and apply these strategies to our ever so desperate bedroom.  I have really neglected decorating our bedroom until about 10 minutes ago so please don't judge the before pictures!  Keep in mind that I'm NOT finished yet and I may just end up going shopping OUTSIDE of the house for a few things. However, this 10 minute make-over has made our room just a bit more cozy!! Step 1 : Make the Bed  *Before* *After* Step 2: Personalize it.  Create a tables...

Lately...

Hans is 4 months old today! I haven't yet taken his "official" 4 month photo's but I still wanted to share a couple of pictures I took this week. Hans loves to sit in his high chair now. He likes to play with some toys on there but mainly he just loves to gnaw on the table... Hans can now roll over from tummy to back and from back to tummy. He does it ALL of the time. Here he is after rolling onto his tummy. Such a cutie! I will be sure to post his 4 month pictures soon, along with his 4 month "update".
