Mid-March.

Hellllllo Mid-March!  I can't believe how fast time is flying by us-next thing you know Seth and I will be married one year and living in Utah for one year!  Whoop :).  


During the past few week-days Seth and I have been on the go-go-go--so we've been using our weekends to crash and enjoy ourselves doing the lazy thing.  With that being said-we don't have any fun new Utah adventures-so I will just be updating about life and what we've been slapping together in the kitchen.


I would LOVE a dishwasher-Love Love Love one.  Those of you who own/have a dishwasher in your home I think you should give it a whopping kiss for helping you out and feel sorry for Seth and I for not having one.  I would have to say we have probably washed about 15 rounds of dishes over this past weekend-my hands probably washed 13 of those 15 rounds :).  Kidding-Seth always helps.  So this is what Seth and I were cooking up this weekend-which is where the whole dishwasher thing came about.

Butter Chicken-Indian Recipe.  Superb. 

Graham Cracker Dough

Seth making Rye Bread.

Turkey Sandwich on Rye Please :).  With a glass of Sweet Iced Tea.

Graham Crackers

Pioneer Woman's Cookbook-Pineapple Upside Cake (Recipe came from this cookbook)

You can tell I haven't mastered presentation yet :).

Had to take a picture of his enjoyment-on his third piece :).

So our weekend pretty much consisted of us stuffing our faces with fattening-high calorie-wonderfully delicious food.  Needless to say I will be hitting the gym pretty hardcore everyday next week.

As you can tell in the picture above-Seth is wearing a T-shirt :).  We had a Gorgeous spring day here-it was in the mid 50's and we were able to take our lawn chairs and books outside and enjoy the sunshine!  With a glimpse of the warm weather we are looking forward to summer (we hear Utah likes to skip the spring and fall seasons and just do Summer/Winter) and are trying to plan trips and outings!  It will be so WONDERFUL to see green grass-things that are living and thriving and not snow.  We are hoping to have a small garden this summer-either buying plots from the school or going in with some friends and using their yards :).

Current Stuff:
-I'm currently on halt with The Red Tent-we are suppose to read half by Monday 14th so I didn't want to be one of those over-achievers and leave Sarah and Laurie behind :).  I'll get to pick that book back up Tuesday or so-but for now I'm reading East of Eden and it is very good.
-We are going to try and recreate Seth's Mom's chili this week--hope that it comes close to hers :).  We are also going to try Chicken Spaghetti and I'm rather looking forward to it.
-I'm going to enjoy the time change.  It is 7:30 here and I still got a little bit of sunshine :).  Wonderful!
-I've given up Facebook for Lent--I was getting a little ridiculous with getting on there out of habit everytime I'd get on the internet.  Rather than checking my email or going to the website I had intended-I'd find myself on facebook for 5-10 minutes.  Plus I felt convicted to give up Coffee or Facebook.  I chose the latter.


That's about all I got for now.  Hope you folks have a wonderful week!  Oh-sorry for all the house pictures of Seth and I-I'll get some pretty Rockie's up here soon :)-But I always want to put up a picture of us so you don't forget our faces while we are gone!!

The Cook's :)
