Hanging out

It has been forever since I have posted.  Marcus likes having his pic taken, however, Mac runs when I get the camera out.
 
Last night Mitch and I had The Dietrichs over for dinner.  Mike and Michelle have a 40 game season package to the Diamondbacks and we went in on the package with them this year.  So we had to sit down and divide out the games.  I made a roasted chicken, wild rice and asparagus along with mom's super yummy chocolate bundt cake!

Panther and Marcus relaxing

This is something that rarely happens in our house...peace among the pets!  These 2 constantly fight for dominance; apparently they are too tired to care today :)

Quiet February

                                     These are cornbread stuffed jalapeno poppers.  I found the recipe on Pinterest, but I doctored it up a bit.  Instead of stuffing the popper with just cornbread only, I put cream cheese mixed with some shredded pepperjack cheese underneath...to the cornbread batter I added diced jalapenos, shredded sharp cheddar and a little bit of corn...delish! They were supposed to be my appetizer to take to a Super Bowl party, but our hot water heater burst right before we were supposed to leave, so I shared them with our nice neighbor who helped us out....
                       This is a stuffed pablano pepper...I used the left over cream cheese mixture and popped it in the oven....
                                                  Ribs....One of Mackenzie's favorite meals!
                        Marcus is still nonstop wrestling!  He posted this sign to make sure none of us touch his WWE stuff....
                              This is why he posted that sign.  He has it set up like a match, so I wanted to take a picture....and then look who came to inspect....
                                   Snuggles!  You better hope Marcus doesn't catch you there!

This is Boris after I cleaned his tank!  Things are fairly quiet around here....and I like it that way...and my children have not been in the mood to have their picture taken...geez!

Royal Rumble Feast

Mexican Lasagne


Cheddar-jalapeno cornbread

I prepared a nice feast for the Royal Rumble, I wanted to give Max a nice meal before heading out...it was like Super Bowl Sunday around here...it was a lot of fun to watch it on tv knowing that Marcus and Max were there...however, we never saw him or his terrific posters on tv :(

New Pizzas and Royal Rumble Prep

 Tonight we got creative and made homemade pizzas.  For me, I made a low carb pizza with a Cauliflower Pizza Crust from Paula Deen.  Very yummy!  I also use cauilflower and mash it like mashed potatoes.

This was a hit at our our house. Jalapeno Popper Pizza  Very tasty!

While I was working on pizza, Marcus was working on his poster for the Royal Rumble for WWE that his uncle is taking him to this weekend.  I cannot begin to describe the excitement surrounding my child!

Sheamus is his HERO...he hopes to get on tv.  His dad paid $45 to buy the pay-per-view of it so we can maybe catch a glimpse of Marcus....

And with my new pizza creations, i had to have wine!  Have a great weekend everyone!

Baking and cooking

Mom, I made your Chocolate Bundt Cake today; it's so darn yummy! And it makes such a pretty cake.


                                Tonight for dinner I made breakfast and tried this recipe from Pinterest.Biscuit and Sausage Gravy Casserole.  I hope I was able to copy and paste this right.  It was really good!

More bowling

No, the beer is not hers.  It's mine.  Mac bowled the first game with us but refused to let me take a picture of her...so I caught her texting her friends.
Just waiting for his turn...
I did terrible!  But still had fun! :)
Family Fun!
