Christmas Heaven in a Cup

One of my favorite Christmas treats - the Peppermint Chocolate-Chip milkshake from Chick-Fil-A. If my waistline could handle one of these a day, there would be no question. :) This is my first one this year and we'll see if I can make it my last. I've lost a good bit of weight this year and I'm trying to keep it off!

Comfy

Mark and I watched White Christmas last night. Classic! As you can see, Molly enjoyed the movie as well in her own way. It never ceases to make me smile when I see them all comfy and relaxed. Both dogs are quite skilled at finding the perfect spot on Mark's chair... or on Mark. :)

Tis the Season

The pictures below don't do justice to the Christmas tree in the lobby at my work. Just thought I'd share. Tis the season! Certainly outshines my 4 foot fake tree at home. :)

Mexican Rice & Beans

Well, today I took a stab at making rice and beans as my father-in-law was kind enough to show me how to make the rice this past week.  My sister-in-law, Kristina, gave me good directions for making the beans as well.  I'm glad to say that my first attempt was at least somewhat successful.  Mark said it was good except that the rice was a little undercooked, which I should be able to easily remedy the next time around.  I thought the beans were delicious and they looked like refried beans from a real Mexican restaurant. :-) Thanks to Dad and Kristina for letting me in on some family secrets!!!

Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas, Mexican Rice and Refried Beans - yum!!!
