My sister Kolette, hooked me on this DOVE brand ice cream, it's called unconditional chocolate and let me tell you it will satisfy that chocolate craving like no other. I think it is also a great remedy for bad days, pms, or just because. They sell it at Smith's in Utah or Fry's in AZ. Try it, you won't be sorry, the layers and layers of chocolate just make me happy thinking about it.

The BYU brownies in my opinion taste even better than the ones you can get at BYU, they are fresher I guess. Anyway this has become a favorite since I found the recipe last year. The brownie is sooo moist. And something that makes them extra delicious I found was adding organic, dutch cocoa, not just the hershey's brand. They are sooooo good that way.
So probably b/c I'm pregnant I've been having lots of food cravings lately and just thought I'd share some of my yummy stuff with you all :). This pregnancy I have been craving Mexican food and avocados with lemon. So I was very happy to get a bit of my mexican fix when we went to AZ for Christmas.
P.S. I am always on the lookout for yummy recipes, so if you have any I should try let me know.
I had pics of the stuff we made, but they got deleted (along with all our Christmas pics and video) in the middle of downloading to our computer, UGH! I'll have to take some when I make it again.

Also, we tried the Charred Chili Rellenos on Monday and they are soooo good. Jim was like this is a 10, on a scale of one to 10. We made them w/o the jalapeno and they were still spicy enough. The poblano peppers aka pasilla peppers were not too spicy the first day, but we ate the leftovers the next day and they were hot. We also added ground beef, but the recipe has them as vegetarian which would probably taste just as fabulous. Anyways this dish was an a+ for presentation and flavor. 

OK so I just added a section called recipes I love. These are links to recipes I have tried and love, not just like but love. So if you are looking for some yummies check this out. This past week I made the Chicken Scaloppine it is one of our very favorites, tastes just like the restaurant, SO GOOD. Instead of the white wine, I use chicken broth and instead of pancetta I just use a thin cut bacon, tastes the same, and we cut the butter in half and it is still great. It takes some effort but the effort is worth it when you know it will turn out this delicious, it is a great meal to impress company :).

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We did, it was great to see family and be in warmer weather for a little while. So I am sitting here wondering how everyone else does it. How do you keep up with blogs, emails, and facebook. I must admit I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and so that makes me just not want to do any of it. You know the "all or nothing" mentality. But I am determined to at least keep up my blog :). I guess that is one of my new year's resolutions.
Today we had a check up for the unborn baby, all is well, she is healthy and moving plenty, I am already uncomfortable and am wishing that I was 35 and not just 25 weeks along. I am going against the grain a bit and keeping my Christmas decorations up longer than norm. So we will go right from Christmas to Valentines, my other favorite time of year :).
