Healthy cooking is fun! Dinner tonight was Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms. It was so quick and easy to make and was absolutely delicious!

I went out shooting with my dad today out on Scott Mountain....loving how the clouds are hanging lower and are nestled in among the other hills.

Beautiful Morning!!! Gorgeous sunrise as I headed into town--gotta love God’s handiwork. (First picture is from the main road, second picture is from my road.) I could have just sat and watched the changing colors if time had allowed it. (Sorry if they are a little grainy--used the camera on my phone.)

I really enjoy burning candles and making the house smell good. Today I thought I would try taking a picture of the flame....so here's what you get when you take a picture looking down on a candle.

Had a coupon for Izze sparking drinks so I thought I would try something new......Izze, Sparking Pomegranate. I like usually like pomegranate flavored drinks, but this was a different combination. I'm undecided as to whether I like it or not, may try some of the other flavors before making a decision.

Spent a lazy Saturday afternoon playing some Guilty Party on my Wii today.

Toys, toys everywhere! Can you tell what Ariana has been doing this evening--well for the last 30 minutes? I don't think she likes to play--she LOVES to play! Tonight she had all the toys, except one, out of the toy basket. I love how she sits on the couch and looks around at the toys, or lays as cute as can be pretending she has no idea where all the stuff came from. Silly girl!

Here I am with the cooking again! Sometimes I think I should be banned from watching Food Network, but then again where is the fun in that....and the parents never seem to complain when I cook for them and try out new things. Tonight it was Neely’s Sweet Heat Tri-Color Salad and Shrimp Cakes with Peach Jalapeno Relish--both were absolutely DELICIOUS!

So, the first picture here is the Neely’s Sweet Heat Tri-Color Salad: picture on the left is before adding cheese, picture on the right is after adding cheese (final product, but you can't fully appreciate all the color with the cheese covering it).

The second picture duo is the Shrimp Cakes with Peach Jalapeno Relish: picture on left is before adding peach relish, picture on right is final product with topping.

My beautiful Annabelle! Such a great, good-natured dog.....love her to death. We had a visit to the vet today for rabies shots and they said she is looking great considering she is almost 11 years old. I say she stays young because of Ariana (who is only 16 months old)......gotta keep up with the young one.
