New Challenges & New Adventures. . .

Well, if any of you know me well than you know the challenges that Bryan and I have been enduring lately. I can't go into too much detail here but if you ask me I would be happy to tell you. And there are also some new things coming soon that we are both very excited about!! :) I wish I could elaborate on either thing more but I fear they could be used againist me in some manor therefore you can email and I will tell you everything! ;) But if you all could be praying for Bryan and I as we make some rather large decisions in the next few months it would be appreciated!! :) I hope everyone is having a spectacular day!! :)

Strawberry Spinach Salad. . .

So I have replaced the stock photo with a picture of the salads we had the week of 7/14! ;) And we really enjoyed this salad!!! :)

Strawberry Spinach Salad:

Strawberry Spinach Salad w/ Balsamic Vinegarette:
Per Person
1-2 Cups of Spinach
1/2lb. Strawberries, Sliced
Candied Almonds, I made mine with sugar, cinnamon and a little vanilla extract
1/8 cup Monterey Jack Shredded Cheese or Mozzarella

Dressing:
Per 2 People
2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
2 Tbsp Oil (I use Canola)
2 Tbsp Sugar
1-2 Strawberries
Ground Pepper to Taste
Blend till smooth! :)

Place spinach in bowl with strawberries almonds and cheese on top. Then drizzle dressing on top and enjoy!! :)

Update 7/14/12 - I recently didn't have candied almonds so I just used some toasted almonds and added a little more sugar to the dressing as well as about 1.5tsp of cinnamon.

Family. . .

Today I am sitting here watching the Live Feed from my families' cruise ship and wishing I was with them. Oh the memories we would have from a trip like this. :/ I have dearly missed my family for the last two and half weeks!! I think the thing I miss the most is just being able to call and talk to them. Even if I don't get to see them I can always call them and talk to them but with them being out of the country on a ship that hasn't been possible!! Boy do we get spoiled by somethings until we don't have access to them do we realize how much we would miss it if it was really gone. :/ I can't wait until they come home which should be in the next couple days baring they can get flights back home!! :)
