Bacon...

Cause let's be honest, Everything's better with bacon.
Hope your Sunday's served up just right. :)

Not your mama's peppers...

When I was little my mom would make stuffed green peppers. Probably the same way every mom in America made them--with rice, ground beef, onions and ketchup. And they were good. But a little plain. So. I've kinda kicked them up a notch. Crumbled sweet Italian sausage, rice, mushrooms, stewed tomatoes, lots of garlic, cumin, smoked paprika and brown, bubbly Monterey Jack cheese. The perfect comfort food for the streak of cold rainy weather we're having lately. Oh yeah, and don't forget to pass the sour cream.

Taste the Rainbow...

I've had a thing for Skittles lately. Although I shouldn't say "lately" because really, I've had a thing for them since junior high. They've been sneaking into my shopping cart again, don't know how that happens. I like the red and yellow ones best. Do you have a fave?

Oysters on the Barbie...

Our friend Dan has a great recipe for oysters. Something involving soy sauce, freshly squeezed lemons and melted pepperjack. Sounds weird, I know. But they're soooo good. Rob and I made them the other night and they were awesome. I'm so glad I eat seafood.

The Hulk would dig these...

I never decorate for St. Patty's Day (sorry, I've just never been a fan of Kelly Green!). But I wanted to do something fun to celebrate. So last night I made green vanilla cupcakes (and yes, the batter really was green) paired with a cold glass of green milk. Maybe it's not Irish but at least it's festive. And they tasted good too :)

Only the Berry Best...

This ice cream has become my favorite after dinner pregnancy treat. I swear its THE best ice cream I've ever had. It's so fresh tasting, not too sweet, has chunks of strawberries and it's just Soooo good. I love it...

I miss sushi...

One thing that sucks about being pregnant is you can't have sushi. I especially love Sashimi. It's soooo fresh and healthy. Lately I've been craving all things sushi. Like yellow fin tuna. And Unagi. And spicy tempura tuna & salmon rolls! Thank goodness this place by my house has yummy shrimp summer rolls (and yes, pregos can have the occasional shrimp!). These are a far cry from the real deal but will have to do. For now at least.

Lazy Sundays...

I don't know about you but I love Sundays. I think they're my favorite day of the week. Yesterday we slept in then made homemade waffles with fresh strawberries and whip cream for breakfast. And OJ and this great applewood smoked bacon. We sat around in our cozy PJ's all afternoon. Watched football and golf and looked online at baby furniture. We didn't leave the house all day... Sometimes you just need a day like that. Hope you had a nice Sunday too.

Jabba the Hutt...

Whoever said you only need to eat an extra 300 calories/day during pregnancy has obviously never been pregnant. I think I'm carrying Jabba the Hutt. I'm SO hungry... All. Day. Long!!

It wouldn't be Easter...

Without Jelly Beans. You'd think with all the candy in our house that we'd have kids or something... But no, I'm just a grown up who likes her sugar. And I love Jelly Bellies. Especially the Buttered Popcorn and Strawberry Cheesecake ones. To be savored separately of course... What's your favorite flavor?

Hangin' with my Peeps...

Every spring when the stores display their Easter candy I always think of Rob's mom. She loves Peeps! And with a fluffy marshmellow center and only 30 calories per bunny, what a sweet Easter treat they are. I'm already on my second box, thank goodness I share!

Feeling Fruity...

I'm one of those people who actually enjoys healthful eating so we always have lots of fruits and veggies floating around our house. These bright colors make me want to dive right into the bowl.
