Giving Thanks.


Today i am thankful for....

The Chicken Divan Recipe i made for dinner it was so good!
Whole Foods groceries @ Trolley Square, they have the freshest food around!
Our new cat box we made this weekend out of a storage container. No more pee spilling out!
The Gospel for giving Ryan's family comfort that his Aunt Donna is happy and we will see her again.
The recipe Ryan found at Williams and Sonoma, Apple cinnamon waffles. A Yummy treat for a weekend breakfast.Totally worth a try!!! Trust me very good!

Ingredients:

3 eggs, separated
3/4 cup buttermilk, warmed
3/4 cup milk, warmed
8 Tbs. (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and grated
1 1/2 cups cake flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
Sweetened whipped cream for serving

Directions:
Preheat an oven to 200°F. Preheat a Belgian waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, buttermilk, milk and butter. Add the grated apple and stir to combine.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the egg yolk mixture and whisk until smooth (some small lumps are OK).

Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Increase the speed to high, add the sugar 1 Tbs. at a time and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 3 minutes. Fold half of the whites into the batter, then carefully fold in the remaining whites.

Sprinkle 2 Tbs. of the chopped pecans onto the waffle maker. Pour about 2/3 cup of the batter onto the surface. Cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the waffles to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining waffles.

Serve the waffles with whipped cream. Makes eight 6-inch Belgian waffles.

Vegas Baby!!!!

WARNING: What you're about to see is two people in desperate need of a vacation having fun. Some images maybe shocking (like Ryan with Showgirls) and even may be disturbing( like Kellie smiling and relaxing).
Viewer discretion is advised!LOL

Ryan and i decide on a trip to Vegas for our Christmas present this year. We had a blast and loved the warm weather. We stayed at the Monte Carlo Casino right on the strip a first for both of us. Great hotel i would recommend it to everyone!

After arriving we headed to the Hard Rock Cafe for a yummy lunch and a great view of the Strip. Yummy BBQ Pork Nachos and fancy drinks.

Here we are at the pool. The Rodeo was in town so Vegas was a little packed but when is it not?


The Bellagio Hotel and Casino has a beautiful free garden to walk through any time of year. For this season it was decorated with beautiful poinsettias and large polar bears made out of carnations. The air smelled like cinnamon and there was Christmas music in the playing. What a fun seasonal activity!

One of the highlights from the trip was visiting the Gold and Silver Pawn shop were the show" Pawn Star" is filmed Ryan especially had a blast and even picked up a mouse pad souvenir.

Over all it was a great trip and it was also great to relax and enjoy what Vegas has to offer!!

844 Steam Engine


There is a few pic of the 844 steam engine as it visited Ogden on November 28th. I loved the sound of the horn, it reminded me of the old black and white movie set in the 20's at a train stain. Loved it!
