St. Patty's Day Breakfast!

Mom and TJ were over this weekend, and we decided to have a green breakfast for St. Patty's Day.  Green eggs and pancakes!  :)

Yummy Omelet

This pictures shows 3 things the Millers love:

big omelets

crescent rolls

paper plates

ha!

I love a good omelet for breakfast (or in this case dinner).  This one has 4 eggs, spinach, carrots, a little bit of turkey, and mozzarella cheese. Delicious!  An easy way to get a couple servings of veggies in. 

What do you put in your omelet?

Grapefruit!

mmmm... Makes my mouth water just looking at it.  Grapefruit is one of my favorite fruits - as long as I get a good one.  Not only is it SO tasty and such a treat, it's jammed packed with nutrients.  Yes!

It's filled with vitamins A & C, fiber, and antioxidants, and only about 60 calories for a whole one (they're huge!).  That fiber keeps you full, which is a great benefit for me because I'm always so dang hungry!

My best tips on how to pick a sweet & delicious one:

Dark orange in color!

You don't want it too firm or too soft, so one with a little give is good!

The bigger the better, of course!

Now, I have to say, that I've had a couple of grapefruits that fit these descriptions, but were not sweet.  And in my opinion, when they are not sweet, they are not good! :)

So, it may take some trial and error, but it's worth it.  If you have some better picking advice, I want to hear it!

If you live in Beaumont, HEB is the place to go!  They never let me down.  That's where the one above is from! Andrea brought these to work for us for a treat.  Much better than a cookie! :)

Thanks, Andrea!

White Bean Chili

Krista Chance made this meal for me and Josh one night when we were babysitting for them.  We fell in love with it, and she passed the recipe down.  SO glad that she did, because we make it constantly!

What to use:
- 4-6 Chicken Breasts
- 4 cans Northern Beans
- 1 can Chicken Broth
- 1 16 oz. jar of Salsa
- 1 cup Shredded Chesse (we use Mozarella)

What to do:
-Throw it all in the Crock Pot and put it on low for 6 hours!
-It's done when you get home from work! LOVE THAT :) Just take two forks and shred the chicken, it will be very tender.
-Serve with crushed chips and shredded cheese on top.

Thanks, Krista!
EnJoY! ;)

Black Bean Chicken Pizza

One of our favorites... BLACK BEAN CHICKEN PIZZA.

-Whole Wheat Pizza Crust
-Can of Black Beans (rinsed)
-Can of Diced Tomatoes (I usually grab the one with Lime and Cilantro - yummy flavor)

-Chicken Breast
-BBQ sauce (Billy Ray's Honey BBQ is a staple at our house)
-Shredded chesse of your choice (we use Mozzarella)

What to do:
-Cook your chicken (I usually boil it, or throw it in the crock pot in the morning so that it's finished by the time I get home)
-Shred the chicken
-Cover the pizza crust with the shredded chicken
-BBQ sauce all over the top of the chicken
-Spread your Black Beans, Corn, and Tomatoes over the top
-Sprinkle shredded cheese
-Bake! (use the temp and time that's on the pizza crust!) (usually only about 10 minutes)

Quick and easy dinner, and we love it!

Big Pizza!

Josh, Russel, and Brick shared this pizza in San Antonio.  After the 3 of them did work, there were only two pieces left!  Pizza Monsters!

Saints ... The Season Begins!

Last night was Saints vs. Vikings, and Josh and I were some kind of excited!! We made the famous "Taco Ring".. Mom and MC's saints tradition (guess we're taking it with us!). Then baked a WHO DAT cake! There's no better kind! haha.

We had fun at our Saints party! Can it be a party if the only people there are the hosts?

Victory for the Saints! 1-0
