French Dip Sandwiches

Megan and Joe came over yesterday for lunch. We made yummy, yummy, yummy French Dip Sandwiches using a recipe from our Best Bites, a website that never fails us. We put the roast in the crock-pot for 12.5 hours and it was PERFECT! 

You must try this recipe, you won't be disappointed! Its even great the next day! I recommend broiling the bread, with butter and cheese without the meat, and adding the meat right out of the crock-pot, it keeps it nice and juicy!

Strawberry & Chocolate Nachos

Don't be fooled by the name! It's YUMMY!

 My friend introduced me to Our Best Bites and well I am in love! I had seen this recipe and this evening when we were at the Greene's house Jordan, Aubrey and I decided to try it out!

When I suggested it to everyone around the dinner table they were disgusted, but don't be fooled by the name!! It's not what you think!

These nachos are actually Baked Cinnamon Chips and they are delicious, with or without toppings! This is what you will need to make this delightful treat!!

Flour Tortillas 

Melted Butter

Cinnamon Sugar (If you don't have this make your own, just mix cinnamon and sugar!)

Strawberries (Or any other fruit you desire!)

Chocolate

Vegatable oil

Whipped cream

To make the Cinnamon chips:

- Place your tortillas on a cookie sheet

- Melt some butter and spread it all over the top of the tortillas 

- On top of the butter sprinkle the cinnamon sugar (more is better!)

- I set the oven to 350 and let them cook until the edges started to turn up. (If you like your chips crunchy leave them in for longer)

- With a pizza cutter, cut the tortillas into 8ths 

The fruit toppings:

We used mixed berries.

- Put your fruit in a bowl and cover it in sugar, let it sit whilst you bake the chips so they make their own kind of syrup

The Chocolate:

- Melt any kind of chocolate in the microwave. Add a drop of vegetable oil to thin it out. (This is the trick to amazing dipping chocolate!)

Put the chips on a plate, cover them in fruit, drizzle the chocolate and put some cream on top!! How easy is that?! I was so excited when we made these that I forgot to put the cream on before I took the picture!

Enjoy! And remember don't let a funny name fool you! You might just be surprised!!

120 Flavors of GENIUS!

Coca Cola has out done themselves this time...! 120 flavors of Soda in one jet machine =  GENIUS! We ventured out to Noodles & Co. last night with Jordan and Aubrey. We weren't going to get soda until the lady told us about this new awesome machine! There was no way I could resist.

My main soda love is Dr. Pepper with the addition of a few drinks you can only get in England. I held my breath as I searched through the Fanta flavors praying they would have my favorite Fanta Twist! Alas they didn't but they did have peach flavor which in my opinion was very close in taste and just as YUMMY!

This magical machine has so so many variations of your favorite brands, Coca Cola, Sprite, Minute Maid and more! My only disappointment was the fact that they didn't have any variations on Dr. Pepper. POOP!

Regardless I am in love with machine! It's the only one in Utah but so worth venturing to Noodles & Co. on University Parkway in Orem!

 

 As we ate dinner I said to the group, I gotta take a picture, this is so blog worthy! Jordan has come up with a new accroynm for this...

11 Days Till' Home!!

In 11 days we drive to Vegas and hop on a direct flight to England for 3 weeks! It has been 3 1/2 years since I have been home and we are super excited! I can't wait for Brett to see where I grew up and meet all my family and friends!

I am so excited to...

See these people, my parents, best friends and nieces and nephews.

(Also my Grandparents and Aunt, Uncle, Brothers and Sister, my Cousin and all my other nieces and nephews).

Go to these places, London, the coastal line of Poole/Dorset, Corfe Castle and to see the rolling hills and fresh green of England!

And to eat and drink all these YUMMY treats! Cadbury's, Walkers crisps, Fanta Twist and Shloer!

(As well as Mummy's yummy Roast Dinners and some Fish & Chips!)

We can't wait and just pray Lucas survives the looong journey and jet lag! Thank goodness for Nanna and Grandad and Aunts and Uncles that will be more than willing to look after the Munchkin when we sleep! :)
