Food 4 Thought Friday.

I copied this Friday Meme from Dawn


Breakfast What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?

Lunch What is something that you are disappointed about right now.
Dinner What is in your fridge right now?
Midnight Snack What are you really anticipating right now?
Recipe of the Week (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for this week?)

Here are my answers:

Breakfast - My favorite breakfast is Bagels & Cream Cheese, just putting this down is making my mouth water. The only bagels I like are cinnamon & raisin or the everything bagel. My favorite cereal is the Special K with chocolate, that is so indulgent first thing in the morning!


Lunch - Nothing disappoints me right now, I am preparing a big Green Tortilla Chili for the Baby Shower tomorrow, so if anything I am excited!!

Dinner - There's cheese, limes, tortilla's & plenty of veg to make a stir fry!

Midnight Snack - I am looking forward to dinner out with my Hubby to celebrate his Birthday. A greek dinner in Tarpon Springs:)


Recipe of the Week -My recipe of the week is what I am making for the Baby Shower tomorrow:)

Green Tortilla Chili

ingredients
1 rotisserie chicken, stripped and shredded
or
1 to 1 1/2 pounds leftover roast turkey meat, shredded
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
1 large onion, chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped
1 rounded tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 16-ounce jar tomatillo salsa
1 beer, any brand you like
1 quart chicken stock
4 handfuls tortilla chips, divided
1 handful cilantro leaves
Juice of 2 limes

preparation

Heat a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat with the EVOO. Cook onions, garlic, and jalapeño until soft, about 4 minutes. Add chili powder and cumin, and cook for another minute. Add the tomatillo salsa, beer and stock. Bring up to a bubble and add in the shredded chicken. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, grind 2 handfuls of the tortilla chips and the cilantro leaves in a food processor. Add this mixture to the chili and continue cooking until it thickens, about 8-10 minutes.

Right before spooning into bowls, add in the lime juice and serve with some whole corn tortilla chips alongside.

Yields 6 servings

Hubby's Birthday:)

It's Keith's Birthday today:) He's already opened his cards, got some nice gifts too!


But by far he enjoyed the gift he got last night. Keith is an avid Football Fan, as in UK Soccer. Yes Football in the UK has been around for a very long time! Keith has supported Fulham since he was a little boy. Last night they won their semi-final game to get into the final of the Europa Cup. Now this is a BIG achievement, apparently every English Newspaper has the news on it's front page today.

Wordless Wednesday.

I just love black & white pictures, I know Rion is looking forward to meeting Emmitt!

Beautiful pictures (I'm biased though)!

Last week Brandy thought it would be nice to get some pictures done. A friend of her's has their own photography business. They all met on Anna Maria Island & had these taken. Apparently there were loads of pictures taken, but these were just a few I have seen so far:)

Wordless Wednesday

A very unusual Seahorse taken at Tampa Aquarium last year.

Brandy is 32 weeks!

I thought it was so funny what Brandy said when she posted her picture on Facebook today. She said it looked like she was trying to smuggle a melon out of Publix!!

On May 1st we have her Baby Shower, I have made her Diaper Cake, I won't post pictures yet in case she see's it! I am so looking forward to meeting my grandson:)






This other picture was taken when she was 29 weeks. I'm looking forward to the picture of Gareth holding his Son for the first time. I'm sure I will get weepy then, but a good weepy!

That dreaded C word , & the power of prayer.

Cancer is one of those words we all dread hearing about. It took my Aunt & Grandmother, now a good friend is battling the disease & another friend's Son has also been diagnosed with it too.

With all the advancement we have these days, how come we still can't seem to find a cure? This though is one of these times I believe in the power of prayer. We hear about miracles happening. So I ask each & every one of you who follow me to please say a prayer for Myrtle who used to be on MM & for Allen, his Mom Cheryl used to be on MM too.

We can only hope & pray that one day we will have a cure for this disease, then we never have to fear hearing the C word again.
