Jack's spot
No...this is not a blanket for Jack...it's supposed to be Harper's tummy-time blanket but Jack has taken it over for his own, little stinker!

Green Rice
So I was watching the Food Network today and kinda stole a recipe I saw on this show, I took the idea of it and put my own little spin on it...and I think it turned out really good. We even roasted poblano peppers on the stove top for the first time, fun!
Green Rice
1 cup Basamati rice (cook according to box directions)
2 roasted poblano peppers (roasted in oven or over a flame on the stove top)
roasted corn (we roasted 2 cobs on the grill)
light sour cream (to taste- depends on how creamy you want it)
monterey jack cheese (to taste)
Cook rice. After roasting the peppers put in a plastic bag or put the peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap (this creates moisture and helps the charred skin get loose so you can take it off). Remove skin and chop peppers, toss in with rice. Grill corn and take kernels off cobs, toss with rice mixture. Add sour cream and cheese to taste. Stir mixture and put in the microwave to heat everything up and melt cheese. Takes about 3 minutes or so. Enjoy!

So today was Chris and my Anniversary~ 3 years and going strong! So I decided it would be fun to make something different for dinner to celebrate...so I made homemade gnocchi!! I didn't know if it would all come together or not, I just knew the recipe looked easy so I figured I would give it a try! I made butternut squash gnocchi with a butter and Parmesan sauce and it turned out fabulous! On the side we had broccolini with toasted almonds, a splash of lemon and olive oil. We also had a good french bread.
We get to go out to dinner to celebrate some more on Saturday, our friend graciously volunteered to babysit for us...so we are going to get our indian food on! :)
Happy Anniversary my love, I couldn't imagine my life without you!
