Marriage Survival...

I was reading an article in Readers Digest last night and couldn't help criticize what they said in the article. It was talking about ways to predict if your marriage will end in divorce or survive. Now, marriage is suppose to be about love and your ever after. But when they say that you will either divorce or survive your marriage... That just sounds horrible. To survive something entails that you have to go through something difficult, bad, or impossible. It makes marriage sound impossible and that there is no hope for any marriage. I'm getting married next year and I have been with my fiance for 6 years now. A relationship can be difficult at times and raising children together may be impossible. But I still don't think that anyone should view marriage this way. It's sad to think of making it through your marriage with a survival instinct.

Tacalatas

Its funny and a mouth full! I came up with this recipe years ago and I still love it. It's my favorite. You can take any regular enchalada recipe and make these few tweaks to create a Tacalata dish. All you will add or be sure you use in the recipe is sour cream, olives, corn, lime juice sqeezed onto the taco, and rice pilaf from rice-a-roni. Everything else you add should be in any enchalada recipe. When you form the actual enchalada, you don't roll it... You place it in the pan like a taco. This makes the top crunchy when you bake it. The last thing you should put on before baking is the cheese... The last thing I like to put on after baking is the sour cream. I don't know why but I like my sour cream cold. Try it, I hope you like it! The rice-a-roni adds a great taste to it especially with the lime.

New Recipe!

So the other day I was watching Barefoot Contessa on Food Network. She was making a Breakfast Bread Pudding (similar to french toast). I tried the recipe and it was really good but I did tweak it a little bit. I just wanted to share the recipe. Ingredients: 5 eggs, 2 extra yolk, 2 1/2 cup 1/2 and 1/2 (I used regular milk but for a better taste, use the 1/2 and 1/2), 1/3 cup honey, 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 2 teaspoon orange zest, 1 teaspoon salt and a loaf of bread (I used french which was good but sour dough would be better). I added cinnamon and sugar to the custard and on top before I baked it.
Mix everything together except for the bread of course! Then place the slices of bread in a sprayed non-stick pan, layering them on top of eachother. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar over the slices with generousity! If you are adding the cinnamon. Pour the custard over the slices and you can sprinkle some more cinnamon if you'd like. Press the bread down into the custard to absorb the liquid.
Bake for 45-60 min in oven 350 degrees. Then Eat after it has cooled a little!
ENJOY!
