At it again

Well I was in the mood for making Nate a hot lunch since I did not make a hot breakfast, so I was searching in the cubord and saw the remainder of the flour tortillas from the other night.
Then I found a pack of hickory smoked tuna. So my brain started racing and my tummy started growling and i came up with an idea. TUNA MELT!!!!!






Hickory smoked tuna fish
small blob of cream cheese
freshly chopped green or red bell pepper
freshly chopped onion
salt n pepper
shredded cheese (make sure its an artery clogging layer)

Let them simmer inside the tortillas for about 1-2 minutes and wala!
After Nate ate his he wanted to clean the kitchen. Maybe I should feed him tuna fish more often

Black is So Much Better

I have had this 55 gallon tank for about 8 years now and have never had a back on it. I meant to paint it before setting it up the last time but forgot. So I decided to get a paper backing and try it. Ohhhh it sure does looks much better then without. Im also trying some hardy live plants and so far so good. I just have to stay away from the delicate ones. :)
You can see the row of fish there in the front starring at me. I think they are waiting to be fed HA!

Steak or Chicken Quesadillas

My favorite mexican dish is chicken or steak quesadillas. I have never made them before and I thought it would be fun to try. The smell of onions and steak filled the room and Nate could hardly wait to eat them. Hey look Jamie! Now we dont have to eat just tacos anymore!
I have been experimenting with new recipes since you have been gone so you will have an all new menu to choose from. :)

Papa & Nate Project

Well the hang on the back of the tank skimmer always made me nervous. All that weight and pressure on the back glass hmmmm I dont know I dont want to risk it, so dad and Nate made me a stand to support all the weight. YEA no more fear of broken tanks! HA

Happy Easter!!!!

Nate was shocked that an Easter bunny was in his room! He asked me if I had seen him HAHA We had a good church service, came home and made a yummy lunch. I made some deviled eggs mmmmmmm

Pre Easter Fun

Nate is getting geared up for his first big Easter. Last year he had fun hunting for eggs, but we did not do any egg coloring. So when he saw all these colorful bubbling stinky colors he got excited! I think PAAS is getting better with their egg coloring kits. Back in the day I remember our eggs sitting forever in this stuff and still coming out pastel. Now they are so bright you can stop traffic with them! We tried putting the tattoo sticker things on them but it did not work. :( So Nate had fun trying to stick them to himself. Hey if anyone knows of some good ideas for re-using these PAAS cups let me know. I figured sand box toys??

Spending time with Grandma

After Nate got out of school we went over to visit with Grandma. Nate discovered the fun vacume and was busy doing that for awhile, then Grandma surprised us with an early Easter art project. I was not too thrilled with mine but Nate had fun and he even made Something for Jamie!
