recipes and such

Im not one who likes to cook but I do like to find yummy recipes if Im going to have to stay in and cook. Pinterest is my main source and I have found some delicious ones!

Yesterday for lunch I made this really yummy salad with a really good homemade dressing. See, I could eat mexican food for every meal. Every single day. I just can. So any type of mexican or southwest recipe I will try.
I made this yesterday with a few of my own additions to the salad but the dressing was great! Im not going to lie- I like to grab my dressing out of the fridge but I felt so much better making my own and knowing what was in it. Cilantro Lime dressing- yes please!
 You can find the recipe HERE


I am also LOVING this salsa from Kroger. It might not be everyones taste but it is delicious and doesnt taste like it has a bunch of weird things in it. I put it on my egg and cheese breakfast burrito this morning with avacado and green onion- YUM!

We made this recipe the other night and it was great as well. I think you could also just use the meat (which turned out really good) and use it in tacos instead of making the burritos. It wasnt alot of work but tacos would be great. See- I love mexican food! Find the recipe HERE

 Last night we finally got out of the house and had some fun with some new friends! It felt so good to go to dinner with some new faces. There is a salesman that works with Jeremy that is around our age and his fiance has a 5 year old daughter so we thought the girls would have fun playing together. Sounds crazy but Red Rock Casino out by us has a childcare center inside. Its actually really neat.  I know it sounds like you just drop off your kids and go gamble but there are lots of restaurants, a theater and a bowling alley inside. So we dropped Hannah and Avery off at Kids Quest and they played and played. Owen came to dinner with us and we were able to have some adult conversation! We will definitely be getting the girls together soon!

We will be trying to beat the heat this weekend- 111 on saturday! whew! I guess the summers here are like winters at home. People dont get out too much during the hot, hot summer. Im not sure I can keep these two kids inside!
