Week 6- Cooking Up Trouble!

This week I decided to try out a few of the recipes that I so appropriately pinned to the board, "Delish Recipes." And boy were they delicious!

The White Chicken Enchilladas were super easy and VERY yummy. The entire family (even Sadie) loved them. This recipe is definitely a keeper.




I've been dying to try out the Cake Batter Truffle recipe I recently tagged. Sadie asked to help. I have no idea why she wanted to do so in the nude, but I thought it made for a cute pic.




Not only were these truffles delicious, they looked great too! One thing I would change next time is how long I refrigerated the balls. Since they were really cold and the candy dip was really hot, several of the balls cracked. Cracks or not, they were delicious!





So the need for the last project originates from about 12 years ago when Zoe was in day care. Much like today, my mom (aka Anny) made sure that Zoe got to day care and often times picked her up since I was in school full time and working part time. Any one who knows my mom understands that while she is an incredibly gifted artist, her wardrobe centers around comfort and necessity rather than style. One day she had a terrible time finding Zoe's shoes. You can imagine my surprise when I picked up Zoe from day care to find her wearing BIG PURPLE Barney slippers rather than shoes. My mom's response? What difference does it make?!? Her feet were protected and that's the purpose of shoes, right? LOL!!! We still laugh about this.

My current job requires a fair amount of travel so here we are 12 years later and mom's at it again. The difference this time around is that I am trying to be more organized so that finding matching outfits and shoes isn't a challenge- it's just ready to go. When my mom saw the next project, she rolled her eyes! I actually think its pretty clever and pinned it on my "Great Idea" board. :-)





Week #6 and still going strong! If only exercise were this much fun. :-) I've got two projects to work on later this week- a bridal shower gift and Valentine's cards for my coworkers. This will be a fun week!
