Ah finally family pictures! Maddie was historically naughty, we even tried stuffing her face with marshmellows and gummy bears in between takes. These are a few of my favorites, Grandma even tried briving Maddie with a ring. My Dad got a new camera for Fathers Day its pretty fantastic, that coupled with the Winterton's camera we are happy to have gotten a few pictures. Although with a group as big as ours there is not ONE picture with all of us looking. Thank goodness for photoshop.
I made it last night and it was worth every gram of fat. The end. Oh yeah here's the recipe in case you want a taste of heaven-
I love my camera, this picture of the lion was through foggy glass and super far away.
I'm pretty sure Maddie would still have been smiling if there hadn't been glass seperating them and the jaguars.
Maddie LOVED the peguins and the snakes, but I forgot to post a picture. I tried to get her to look at the emormous orangutan, but she was too interested in the python. Jon said she was weird for liking the creepy snakes.
I really like this picture, but it uploaded small. I thought the cousins would enjoy seeing this. I think you can click to enlarge.

Thank you OurBestBites.com!
Combine thinly sliced pork, lime zest, lime juice, oregano, salt, brown sugar, adobo sauce, and garlic in zip lock. Set aside. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tsp olive oil. Add onions and saute for 4 min or till tender. Remove from pan and set aside. Add 2 tsp olive oil to pan and add pork mixture. Saute for 3-4 min or till no longer pink. Add pork to onions. Warm & toast tortillas in small fry pan w/ pam spray. Fill tortillas, top with avacado (or sour cream), and cilantro lime rice. YUM.
Loved this I would use a different Cilantro Lime Rice recipe so I didn't post it. I actually made mine with Minute Rice and stirred in alittle spray butter, lime juice & zest, cilantro, garlic salt, salt & pepper. HA! This was fairly quick, but I had defrosted my pork (which is pre-cut for stir fry) and I used minute rice. It was a yummy roasted pepper flavor and the avacado was the perfect touch.
I'm in love. I decided that I would set a goal, of course a fitness goal, and if I reached it I would allow myself to indulge in a new swimsuit this summer. Why do I love it, could be the rouching (if that's even how you spell it) or that its actually tulle on the outside layer. I don't even know if it will look good on me, but for now its just the motivation I need. Cost...is ridicously or else I probably already would have bought it. I haven't quite decided what my actual goal should be. I did buy a new ACURATE scale with a Amazon gift card and there's a 5k or 10k coming up in May. Maybe I should make goals for both, I guess we will see.
