Wine of the week May 9th

The name, " Two Vines" describes the trellis system that separates the vines which allows for more sunlight to the actual grapes. This wine comes from Washington state's Columbia Valley. This area is on the same latitude as Bordeaux in France and each produce fabulous wine.

This cabernet is very smooth and polished with slight cherry and blueberry flavors throughout. The fantastic finish reveals hints of cocoa, yummy! This is truly one of the easiest drinking bottles I have had. The retail is between $6.99 and $7.99.

Survivor!

Survivor was so good last night! I can't wait until the season finale on Sunday. There have been so many twists and turns this season. Makes me wonder, if I was on a show like that, with the chance to win $1 million, would I be able to keep my integrity and not get caught up in the deception and back-stabbing that would be going on around me? A game like that is a true test of character.

My Boys

Logan turns 2 in 2 weeks! How is that possible? It is fun watching him grow into a little boy. He not only looks like his daddy, he is CRAZY about his daddy! In the middle of the night if he wakes, it is "DAAAADDDDYYY" he wants. So cute!

The Little Things...

I am so glad that Olivia and Logan truly get excited over little things. Going to the swings by our house has become a daily event for us. They both get so excited and almost run the 1/2 mile it takes to get there!

Olivia: "Mommy, I need to go high like a butterfly and higher than Logan."

Logan: "Swiiiinnngggg"

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!

I found this recipe on the Food Network, I altered it just a little to make it a little less spicy... It was great served with warm tortilla chips and a Mojito!

Black and Red Fiesta Beans with Rice

2 c instant brown rice
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1/2 c salsa
1 1/2 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Thyme (I used ground thyme)
1/2 t Garlic powder ( I omitted salt and used garlic salt instead)
1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 15 oz can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 11 oz can corn drained
Salt and Pepper to taste


Cook rice - meanwhile combined remaining ingredients and simmer until rice is cooked. Fold in rice. Top with sour cream and scoop up with chips! Yum!

*Side note: I figured the cost per serving to be $.65

Happy Birthday Brad and Jill!

Happy Birthday to all of us! It was fun getting together for dinner friday night! You two have a great day! Love you guys!

Tommy's Wine of the Week

Chateau Ste Michelle

Sauvignon Blanc

Chateau Ste Michelle, Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp, clean and refreshing style of sauvignon blanc from Washington State. It shows aromas and flavors of sweet citrus and dried herbs. This wine pairs perfectly with Stacey's chicken and zucchini sauteed in olive oil and Ste Michelle Sauv Blanc. Its delicious and light, just in time for summer! Chill and enjoy a glass with dinner!

Happy Anniversary Brad and Kerri!

Have a great day celebrating your marriage!
We love you guys!
