Birthday Dinner.

Had an amazing Birthday Dinner at home last weekend.

It was all I wanted and more. 

I love that it was on a perfect day, Sunday!

Our usual Family day.

I have the Best Birthday Present I can't wait to show you guys!

Started off with a Charcuterie Board.

 I saw this Rose Salami all over the internet so I had to make it!

Very easy to make even though it was tricky to keep it together.

Had to hold it a little longer so it will stay.

Funny how some Instructions on other Blogs didn't mention that.

Maybe its just me but I thought I should mention it.

Hubby's cute set up!

He worked so hard today and I love all of his efforts to  make my day perfect.

He is the best Husband!

We had grilled food, my FAVORITE!

I mean you guys know.. I can do this everyday if we can.

Steaks fresh from the Butcher shop in town, Shrimp Scallops and veggies kebab for the main.

I also made these Double Baked Potatoes.

Recipe will have to come later because I forgot to put in the Bacon.

If my husband didn't notice it was missing it won't make it to the plate. haha!

Don't drink too much while cooking.. a little advice. hahaha!!

The potatoes were good!

It still made it on the plate! haha!

The Steak were amazing!!

This is me dreaming that I'm 23. haha!

I picked Ice cream cake.

It was nice to have so many options for food now that

we are back in the US.

It was such a great day with my little family.

Couldn't be more perfect.

Fall off the bone Crockpot Ribs

 

When it comes to Ribs, 

I only have one favorite!

The one that Hubby makes at home. :)

 I think I cook/bake decent meals.

But, when he helps me in the Kitchen it just becomes amazing.

He doesn't follow the exact recipe he definitely adds the good stuff. (seasoning)

and thats what makes it better. 

Original recipe of the Ribs by the way!

(Crockpot Ribs)

Listen to your heart and season it the way you want it!

I think thats what makes it really good.

I also made Cheesy Bacon Pierogis as a side dish.

Very easy, pour some cheese sauce on the cooked Pierogis and sprinkle some bacon!

Easy. peasy!

Amazing Dinner!

Let me know what you guys think!

Cooking in the Crockpot cannot get any easier, but this one was so so

Easter Sunday

 

Hello everyone!

I hope you all had an amazing Easter Sunday.

Ours was an amazing Family time. 

Not too different from last year.

As we spent it just at home.

But, it was nice to be somewhere not as restricted so we can get everything we need.

Our backyard is so big I think the boys love getting all the eggs just for the two of them.

They were so excited to see all the Eggs for them!

After hanging out outside we made our Dinner.

with my favorite drink, of course!

We made our favorite Bacon wrapped meatloaf.

It's been a while since we made this.

Recipe here:

( Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf )

Making this may be a little tricky but I swear its not as hard as you may think.

I added a picture of how to prep the bacon on the link.

...And of course.

Deviled Eggs.

Recipe here:

( Deviled Eggs )

I can literally eat these Deviled eggs everyday.

We also made steamed green beans with it.

Perfect combination!

Dinner and movies.

It was a nice, relaxing day.

Have a great week.

You deserve a DONUT.

 

You guys probably noticed how much I love Yummy's Donut place

in Warrensburg.

Having a good Boba place so close to our house is just amazing.

It's the perfect stop before I get home. 

They also have amazing, fresh donuts!

Their donuts are so fresh that if you come late you won't be able to get any.

Since everybody gets it early.

Its the best in town!

Warrensburg doesn't have the usual Dunkin donuts or Krispy Kreme

and that actually okay.

Because these are so good!

I highly recommend!!

My Drink is Mango tea with Mango Boba.

Mi Patron Mexican Cafe and Cantina

Cooking is always fun.

I can cook everyday if I have all of the time.

But, getting a take out sometimes is a good break from cleaning most especially.

There is so many Mexican restaurants me and hubby wants to try around town.

We decided to give Mi Patron a try. 

We didn't feel like eating out so we just did a Take-out.

So we can relax and watch Vikings at home.

It was so good.

Tacos for me and Hubby got some Chimichangas. 

Its so awesome that they also give you free Quezo dip.

Every time we eat at any restaurant we have to buy that also.

But, with them they give it for free!

It was over all an amazing meal.

I highly recommend!

Happy weekend.
