Last night went off perfectly! I decided to take a risk, and make something new and different from my normal southern comfort food for Mom and Dad-in-law last night. I really wanted to make this chicken dish that I had from the hospital cafeteria during my Capstone that was rice and cheese stuffed, salsa smothered chicken. I just couldn't find a recipe anywhere! So I improvised a bit, and stuffed the chicken with cheese, smothered it with salsa and hoped for the best, and it was AMAZING!! I also made Southwestern stuffed peppers from a recipe I found on Pinterest, and those turned out great! We made some Spanish rice, some different kinds of salsa, some cheese quesadillas, tortilla chips, and I even made guacamole for the first time!!
I was a bit nervous pulling this all off, but I timed everything perfectly! We all ate til we hurt! I also made my jello poke cake to top it all off!! I just couldn't have imagined it would all go so smoothly! And luckily we have lots of leftovers that I'm so excited to eat!
I just love cooking for other people, especially when it turns out so well. It just makes me feel good. :)
We also played Life on the Wii, and we had so much fun. It took forever!! I was almost falling asleep by the time we were done, but I won!! We had a really good time, and got to hear about their trip to D.C., which actually made me want to go visit sometime!
Today, I just want to relax. I overdid it at the gym on Thursday and really hurt my hip. I'm feeling better, though. I have just been so busy with errands and trying to plan the dinner last night that I need a freebie day!!
The Bears are playing the Titans today, so I'll be happy either way the game goes! I'm just feeling happy today! :). This week is gonna be rough at work because both my boss and one of my coworkers is on vacation. Then we have an all day seminar for all of the employees of the company, not just my office, on Friday. So my nice short and quick Friday turns into a 9 hour class. But we are getting fed at least!
And I love Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta SO much more than the New York one. It just makes me feel like in back home. :) We are less than 2 months away from getting to go back home, by the way! So happy!
And I ended up taking a few days off of job searching. I need to recharge my batteries because I am worn down. I'm back to not talking anymore about it until I have something positive to share.
That is all for now!! :)
