11/05/11: Pork & Pumpkin Chili

Last night we made Pork & Pumpkin Chili, a recipe we found through Food Network. We didn't change a thing, but in our excitement to eat, we did forget the last step of adding the mustard greens and cooking that for 10 minutes. We didn't realize until we were done eating...then I had the "ah ha" moment where the light bulb went on and we now need to find a recipe to incorporate that bunch of mustard greens that are still sitting in our fridge.

The chili was spicy. I was surprised that I didn't have heartburn after eating it. It was really good, satisfying and lip numbing...haha. We, again, have some great leftovers that we are going to freeze and have for later on! The pictures don't really do the dish justice. Too bad there isn't "smell-o-vision" over the computer...

Modelo: Don't worry...we only used 12 oz of this bad boy. The rest went down the drain.


Onion, peppers (from the garden) and tomato-


The pork, beer, water, chipotles in adobo and oregano-


We added LOTS of hot Mexican chili powder to the onion mix-


Then we added the pumpkin!


It all goes in the pot together-and the smells get even better!


The finished product-topped w/greek yogurt & pumpkin!


And we had to top it off with a dessert of a few Frozen Banana Bites made earlier in the day!

38 Weeks (and counting) Belly pic

Now we're getting antsy. I hit uncomfortable a few weeks ago...I can deal with that. Now we are just antsy to meet the little guy and introduce him to his family and friends. I think Andy & I are in fast forward mode all of a sudden, just wanting the time to fly by... Looking at pictures from last week it appears I may have dropped slightly...maybe?...maybe not? I guess I can sort of breath a little easier. I'm not waddling like many people say you do when this happens...I'm just slow...haha. I'm not nesting either. I've posted to Facebook to tell friends what I've been up to and they say I am, but really that's just me. I'm totally anal retentive and a perfectionist and have to have things in their place. This is my norm. Not anything new.  38 weeks 37 weeks As the time draws near my patients at work continue to say things like, "You're still here?" and "Had that baby yet?" (most annoying question ever). Ye...

4/17/11: Carlyle Pizza Scramble

A & I went to Carlyle Brewery last night for dinner before hitting Spring ArtScene 2011 . Dinner was great, as was ArtScene, where we ran into some old friends. We had some leftovers of our pepperoni, green & black olive and mushroom pizza and instead of hitting our usual Sunday morning breakfast spot, Mary's Market , we decided to re-create our amazing pizza scramble. Just added red peppers, green onion, a dash of zesty pepper jack cheese and eggs to the mix w/a side of avocado and toast w/honey.....mmmmm. Oh yeah and a bit of Carlyle Stout to round out the meal. What a great way to start a stay at home Sunday!
