Happy Anniversay to Us...

By -
It's now been 17 years since we have said "I do" to each other...that is a long time with the same date in today's world!

I made a card for dear hubster - that you can see in the picture, the inside phrase is:
Life is a journey,
and love is what makes
that journey worthwhile.

Thank you for walking down that
garden path with me - Happy Anniversary!

He got me a nice card too - and we went out for dinner.
=)
The nice thing about your family knowing your goals, they know how to help you. My Mom didn't think we would spring for a dinner out so they watched the kiddo and treated to a nice place (our choice).

Hubby picked the local and it was to be a surprise to me. I must admit - I wasn't too excited about his choice...they had "yup-scaled" their menu so things like a Caesar Salad had "olive tapenade" on top of it, etc. I am talking about Lombardino's of Madison.

The menu wasn't too promising at first glance. I miss the old "Greenbush" day's of Madison that held a score of fantastic Italian places...with traditional, simple favorites. I opted for the Caesar Salad (skip the olives...) and a very generous serving of spaghetti bolognaise (half of which came home in a box). He had the real winner - a caramelized onion rustic pizza. The onions were super sweet and a fantastic compliment to the cheese and crusty base! A glass of wine for me, a beer for him and we had to take a tiramisu home in a box for later...

The evening was very nice, just the two of us connecting over a pleasant meal that cost more than half of what I spend each month on groceries, LOL!

Bottom line, it isn't a place that would be on my top 10 to go to, but it fit the moment...a non-child friendly place for two adults without their kiddo who wanted a little "adult" time.

Here's to 17 more (and more, and more....)

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games! That being said, I do one every year - in December, about 2 weeks before Christmas. (You can read about it HERE or see a TV segment I did on it http://youtu.be/-iUR7GlAiQw ). I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

Chili Dog Casserole

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs ...
