This book has changed my life!!!

So.... since we have been married, I have made about 20 dinners, these dinners have either been spaghetti, taco soup, or something in the crockpot! Now, we have been married for 2 1/2 years, so that is A LOT of the three items stated above! Lucky for me Jake loves to cook and is EXCELLENT at doing so. I have always felt a little guilty about the fact that I didnt cook very much for him and when I did it was kinda boring food, tasty, but nothing fancy. WELL.. a month or two ago this has all changed and I have this featured cookbook to thank for it. My mom was in the checkout line at a local Marshalls store in Texas, she came across this book and thought she would get it and see how it was. Jake and I have been trying to eat really healthy since we moved here and it has been Awesome to have this book with nothing but healthy choices to choose from. Some of the things I have made and we love are : salmon with a mustard crust, homemade wheat deep dish pizza, ground turkey cilantro and tomatillo salsa enchiladas, eggplant zuchini lasagna, turkey burgers, sweet potato fries, etc.. Anyhow , now I LOVE to cook , especially when I know everything in this cookbook is healthy and delicious! BON APETIT!! Hopefully you get a chance to try it out yourself :)

Oh my!!! A cruise to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel, AND Jake's wonderful parents came to watch our little man since little munchkins on a cruise does not sound like paradise. He would literally probably have crawled off the boat. This little boy is darling, but LOVES to get into EVERYTHING!! We had such a wonderful time! My stud of a dad took our entire family ( 17 ) of us on this trip ! We loved every single second of it. The food of course was amazing, my favorite things being the barbequed spare ribs, yup, got those a few nights, filet mignon, salmon, shrimp, and dont even think I didnt order the chocolate melting cake EVERY night on the boat along with some extra ice cream. So what if the number on my scale changed a bit when I got home, it was totally worth it! We went snorkeling, had massages on the beach, played in the sand, read wonderful books, played many many games of " wits and wagers", " perudo" and " scum "! we even went to a few shows on the ship. Most days we took a 1-3 hour nap and enjoyed laying out in the sun. My family ROCKS!! each and every one of you :) here are LOTS of pictures to enjoy! and THanks a MILLION Rob and Jenny for watching our little squirt for the whole week. xoxo
