Weeks 11-13 and More!

HOLY COW! What a crazy couple of weeks! Well, as I am sure you all know, Micah and I moved! We have been going crazy and running around like none other trying to find a new place, and we finally found it! It is a cute little house near the stake center, school, and Micah's work. Oh! Did I mention Micah got a new job!? Ya, he got a new job and he loves it!!!! Lol. Anyway, the landlord so far has been totally awesome, and we are so excited! In the craziness of it all, I have not had any free time to post on the blog about my weekly goals. I have been taking pictures and trying to make sure I still complete them, but now that we have moved, I have lost the cord to connect the camera to the computer. So I am just going to tell you what I made, and hopefully I will find it soon.

So for week 11, I made these chocolate swirl cookies. They are incredibly delicious and easy! I took those melty mints and put some in the center of each cookie, and it really made the difference. I will be sure to post the recipe when I post the pictures eventually for that one.

Then for week 12, I made a white clam sauce pasta, and that was OK. Micah liked it much more than I did, which I was surprised about, because I LOVE clams. But it was good enough I might try it again with my own touches.

Then for week 13, I made dark chocolate lava cakes. OH MY GOODNESS, these are amazing!!!! I think that I really love chocolate or something because it seems as though everything I bake is delicious! These are kind of tricky, but they are worth it in the end, even if you end up with a pile of goo on your plate.

I have all the pictures on my camera, I just need to knuckle down and find the cord so that I can post them!

Anyway, other than all that mess, there really isn't a whole lot to post about. I already touched on Micah's new job, which is the Manager at EZ Money Payday Loans, and the ever so famous move. I guess other than that I am just trying to get myself all ready for Cosmetology. I'm pretty excited about it, and I have completed most of the things I need to be ready for Day 1 (May 7th). Birdie is doing great, except she has discovered a way to get out of the back yard, and I still don't know where that spot is. But we'll find it!

Love you all!
Have a great day!

Weeks 9 & 10

Ok so I'm a slacker, and I have not posted anything for the past 2 weeks! I have completed my weekly goals, just I have not been able to post anything!
Well for week 9 I made Catfish. I took the fillets and dipped them first in flour, then I dipped them in a mix of dijon mustard, egg, and some other ingredients, and then I covered them in crushed pretzles. After that I fried them in oil for about 4 min on each side and they turned out very delicious!!! Here are the pics for that.

Then for week 10 I made Lemon Mustard Chicken. I broiled the pieces for about 15 min, then I coated them with a mustard and lemon juice mixture, and broiled them on each side for about 5 more min. They were pretty yummy, but a little chewy. Here are the pictures for that too!

Have a great day!
