Cinco De Mayo for #SundaySupper!!!

Not only is it #SundaySupper time but it's also a theme that I personally love!! Who doesn't LOVE Mexican food? Well this Momma does and so does her family so this week you are going to love these dishes!! This even is being hosted by a personal fav of mine! Jen from Junita's Cocina!!! Thanks for hosting such a mouth watering event Jen! When I was trying to decide what to make I thought back to some of the dishes that I've made in the past, I was tempted to make one of them again, but wanted to try something different. I used this event and this day as an excuse to make a few Mexican dishes! I've always wanted to try my own homemade Salsa before, I've also wanted to make a Mexican salad all on my own (meaning not from someone else's recipe) and I also wanted to try Tacquito's too

Top 10 Pinterest Cinco De Mayo Recipes

Cinco De Mayo used to mean Corona's all around when I was in my twenties!! I remember one year it was actually the day I moved into the very first home I had ever bought. That day/night consisted of A LOT of corona's! Well I'm not going to lie and say that Cinco De Mayo usually consists of a few flavorful margarita's for this Momma on a normal basis since those days of my twenties, before I found love in the kitchen that is. Then when I found that love, I just had those margarita's while making a new dish for me and my husband after our daughter would go to bed. It made for a nice night. An excuse to make something different. I love Mexican, my husband loves Mexican......it worked. However, this is my second pregnancy and yes the second Cindo De Mayo that I had to cut out the good ol'

Shower & Party Ideas

Have you ever hosted a baby shower, bridal shower or any themed party? I've never hosted an actual shower before, only small gatherings with my friends for small holidays like St. Patrick's Day. I'd like to host a pretty big BBQ this summer for the birth of my son. We bought a new house this winter and we have many friends having either their first or second child! We have a beautiful new deck to break in so I'm looking forward to my first bash that consists of this Momma NOT being pregnant! In the mean time I thought I'd share some party tips and ideas with you. I've gotten these ideas over the years from others or my own experiences. Let me share with you a great idea I had when I got when I got engaged. I knew I wanted a Co-Ed bridal shower, I guess you could call it a Jack N Jill

New Cooking Adventures for #SundaySupper

So this weeks theme is all about trying something new. Something we've never made before, something we would like to experiment with. So let new cooking adventures consume your Sunday!!! Grab a cup of coffee and dive into new ventures in the kitchen this week! This fabulous event is hosted by The Foodie Army Wife. Thanks for hosting such a daring event Conni!! Besides once you see what I've chosen your going to want to check out my recipe, one because it rocked and two because, well I despise anything fishy. I vowed to never cook anything sea worthy in my kitchen. Like ever. Never. However.........I did it. I'm not sure what made me choose a seafood dish, there are plenty of things I have yet to try. Baking a cheesecake for example, or making Polenta, or how about a simple coffee cake,

Dear Madison & Drew – Spring Has Sprung

Dear Madison & Drew, Hello my babies.......well Madison, your not quite the baby anymore. You are officially two and a half today! OMG! I've been going back on pictures a lot lately. You were such a chunky monkey. Gosh you were such a good baby. Each and everyday I see you grow inches I swear! Is it even possible for you to get more beautiful everyday? Yes it is my sweetheart. You are learning so much! One day while driving to school I said "Oh look at the yellow school bus!" You starting motioning with your arms and singing "The Wheels on the Bus go round and round...." I was instantly blown away. Instant tears to my eyes, yes I know it doesn't take much for mommy to tear up these days. I'm proud what can I say! Unfortunately I thought we had already reached the terrible twos

Featured Friday – Eat Your Heart Out

Happy Friday everyone!!! One of my favorite days of the week.....usually because it means I can sleep in the next day (well not sleep in but not have to jump out of bed to get boo!) but this weekend I look forward to a date night tomorrow night with friends of ours that are always a lot of fun! This Momma is in need of getting out! We are trying a Japanese Steak House in the town that we moved to a few months back.

Speaking of eating out........let's talk about our Co-Host for today! Stephie blogs over at Eat Your Heart Out.

Tater-Tot Casserole

Anyone who is a Mom has probably heard of this conconction.......If that's even a word. I've heard of it for quite sometime now and finally decided to try it a few weeks ago. Unfortunately it was an epic fail for Miss Madison, she didn't like it, however I loved it and I ate it for a week LOL. I bet if I made it now, she may change her mind she went from SUPER DUPER picky for the past two and a half years to all of a sudden eating anything I've put in front of her! AMAZING! I will be trying this again because I really do think she will enjoy it. I've seen this recipe on so many websites I can't tell you where it came from so I apologize, there are so many different versions so I'm going to post how I made it. I do remember there is one thing I'd do differently while making this the second

Nursery Ideas

Well for anyone who knows me........you know we are expecting a baby boy come the end of June, or so we hope!! :) When I was pregnant with my daughter, I had her nursery planned-visualized as you will, in my head from day one. I'm a girly girl, I love pink, purple and yellow. Butterflies, flowers and anything fluffy. Though I was more than thrilled to find out we were expecting a baby boy this time around, I just have no clue about "boy" things. Plus we have been busy, non-stop, go, go, go since day one of this pregnancy. Well here we are mid-April and we still have an empty nursery. I've been so wrapped up with dealing with the terrible two's, spending as much time as I can with my daughter, and just surviving that my poor baby Boy's room has been on the bottom of the list. Well this

Individual Deep Dish Pizza’s for #SundaySupper

This weeks #SundaySupper theme is super fun!! Who is a movie buff?? I am I am!! I LOVE watching movies, any movies, all movies. My all time favorites are comedies and dramas. One month shy of my 21st birthday (seems like moons ago) I lost my ex-boyfriend in a motorcycle accident. Life as I knew it was over. Or so I thought until I learned not even a year later that my dad had stage 4 lung cancer. Don't worry I'm not telling you these sad stories to make you all sad, I'm telling you them because movies...........well movies took me out of my world of darkness for the 90-120 min that they were being played. I used them to zone out and forget about my feelings for the hour or so that they lasted for. STILL here I am 14 years later still using movies to zone out, not so much to me out of

Featured Friday – Dinners, Dishes & Desserts

Another Friday upon us!! This weeks Co-Host is another #SundaySupper pal of mine. I've been following Erin's blog for awhile, she's got some amazing recipes and her pictures just make you want to eat whatever it is she makes right off of the computer screen! Erin blogs over at Dinners, Dishes and Desserts!! I think my favorite section of hers is her "Dessert" section. She has got some great treats over there. Though I'm not much of a baker, I can dream. I can visualize myself whipping up one of her scrumptious treats! Erin is a Momma to a beautiful 7 year old boy, married to her love and currently living in Colorado which has always been a dream come true for her and her husband. Like me, Erin went to school for finance but once she had her son she decided to stay home. She writes
