Happy Birthday John

So here's a video of John blowing out the candles of his birthday cake. I'm an evil mom and tricked him with trick candles. We did give him the slice of cake with the candles on it. We didn't want watered down cake. Enjoy

Mother's Day

Know a special mom? Um you all should know a special mom!!!! This special mom doesn't necessarily have to be you biological mother, just some female that you feel a maternal bond towards or a friend of yours that is special who happens to be a mom. Mother's Day is on Sunday. Make her this on Saturday for Sunday morning:

(Trust me)

12 crepes - if you don't know how to make them, buy them pre-made
2 lbs fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
1 container blackberries
1 container raspberries
1 container Philadelphia Cheesecake cream cheese
1 container Philadelphia Raspberry cream cheese
Raspberry dessert sauce
white chocolate chips

Whip the two cream cheeses together. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on a crepe. Place 3-4 Strawberry halves in the middle of the crepe in a straight line. Roll up the crepe carefully until you have a nice little burrito looking thing. Place on a nice platter or baking sheet. Continue with the rest of the crepes. Once you have all your crepes rolled up, zigzag the raspberry dessert sauce over the crepes. Sprinkle the chocolate chips, blackberries, raspberries and remaining strawberries over the crepes. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve or to take to you special mom's home! ~Enjoy

Grilled Veggies

It's almost summer time! My newest fave on the grill, veggies!

Chop of some some of the following in nice big chunks:

Zucchini
Yellow Squash
Red and Green Bell Peppers
Portabello Mushrooms
Red Onion
Sweet Yellow onion

Toss the veggies in olive oil and some Mrs. Dash's seasoning.

Wrap up in tin foil, or if you have one of those cool grilling baskets, use that.

Place on the preheat grill and grill tender crisp! Yummo!
