Stephanie is already working on imparting her fashion wisdom to the little one by dressing her all in pink on day 2.

I can't wait to see the new mom and little bug next month!

Neglected Kitchen and Buttermilk Biscuits

Since I have spent the past few weeks in Virginia, my kitchen has been completely neglected. There has been no time for cooking. I had to make up for it so I attempted buttermilk biscuits over the weekend using Ina Garten's recipe. I left the cheddar out since they were for breakfast.

They turned out really good! I need some practice on the timing and kneading but I'm sure Mike won't object to more fresh biscuits!

I also made salsa and beef and spinach quesadillas over the weekend. Here's the salsa recipe:

Salsa
2 cans Rotel (drained)
1 can crushed tomato (if needed)
1 jalapeno
cilantro
garlic salt

Put drained Rotel, jalapeno (seeded if you want it less spicy), cilantro and garlic salt (as much as you want, depends on your taste) into a food processor or blender. Blend to desired consistency, I make mine totally smooth. Taste. If its too spicy or thick, add some of the crushed tomatoes until you reach the desired taste and consistency.

Maria visits

Mike's mom (Maria) visited over the weekend and brought with her the following yummy things from Hawaii...

The picture isn't very clear but we've got guava juice, coffee, pink salt, teri burger seasonings and guava jam.

Really excited to make the teri-burgers! Thanks Maria!
