This Weekend…

How was your weekend?  Ours was rather nice.  We spent Sunday doing a little swimming.

My parents dog, Hershey, LOVES the water.  She has been anxiously awaiting summer to get here so she could jump in!

My baby girl is growing up so fast!  She is getting such long legs too.  It won’t be long until she is taller than me.

Logan didn’t swim this time.  He has final exams all this week so he spent the day studying and preparing for those.

Quite a handsome guy I have, huh?

By the way, just 3 1/2 days of school left!  Can I get a HALLELUJAH?  I can promise you (and apologize) that there will be LOTS of pool pics in the coming days as that is where we plan to spend a good majority of our time.  Smile

Have a great week! 

What a Wonderful Mother’s Day!

I have to say that this Mother’s Day ranks up there with the best ever.  Not because I got the best gifts in the world, but because they let me do whatever I wanted without whining and complaining!  Well, there were a few whines here and there, but it was better!

I like to spread out holidays, birthday’s, etc as long as I can.  We started celebrating Mother’s Day on Saturday.

The first thing on my list was lunch at our favorite pizza place.  It is soooo good!  I haven’t had it in quite a while since it isn’t on my low carb diet.  I decided Mother’s Day was the perfect excuse to splurge a little.  Smile   It was worth it.

After lunch, we headed to our local Farmer’s Market.  Eric and the kids bought me two new planters for our front porch so I was looking for some pretty flowers to fill them up. 

Noah and Kendall had to get an italian ice so they have red and blue teeth in this pic.  ha! ha!

Special thanks to my mom for grabbing this pic of the four of us.  Logan didn’t get to go with us (I know he was so sad to miss it) because he was working.

Kendall’s favorite part was pulling around the cart.

After shopping at Lowe’s and Home Depot for more flowers, I decided it was time for another mini splurge.  We went to our local yogurt shop for a yummy treat.

I chose the no sugar added strawberry & vanilla swirl mixed with strawberries and coconut.  Oh my… it was heaven in a cup.  I didn’t feel nearly as guilty either since it was no sugar added.

At least I still have one child who is willing to pose whenever I ask. Smile

I absolutely LOVE this photo of me and my girl.  It is getting printed and framed somewhere in the house.

Oh, they also bought me this plant stand that I have been wanting for our back deck.  I LOVE it!  I picked up a yellow squash plant (blue pot) and Kendall picked up the chocolate mint, Gerbera and the Dahlia plant.  See that tree on the far right?  Kendall brought that home as a tiny little stick a few months ago from school.  I can’t get over how much it has grown! We need to find somewhere to plant it in the ground.

Kendall and I have been busy little bees today!  :) @hershey_is_adorable_101

Here’s a closer look at the flowers I planted in the planters at the front door.

Did I mention that Kendall also washed my Jeep for me?  It needed it and she did a great job.  Sure wish I had grabbed the camera for that one, but I was busy planting flowers. Now I just need to tackle the inside of that vehicle.  Maybe that will be on this weekend’s agenda!

Sunday, was much more laid back.  I think we were all tired from the day before! My lunch request was for Eric to grill out cheese burgers.  I LOVE when he grills anything.  He is the master at it.  Normally, I would have him cook steak, but we had gone to Outback with my parents on Friday night and we all had steak then.  My second favorite is definitely his cheese burgers, so that was what I wanted! Boy were they good.  We had my mom over to enjoy them too.

Eric grabbed this shot of me with the kids.  It is my most favorite picture in a long time.  Love these kiddos of mine so much more than I could ever put into words.

I am such a blessed mom! Smile

White Chicken Enchiladas & Fage Total Greek Yogurt

I don’t know about you, but I LOVE Mexican food.  I think I could live on it for the rest of my days and be very content.

Recently, FageUSA and BzzAgent provided me with Fage Total Greek Yogurt and asked me to try it out and give my thoughts on it.  I knew right off the bat that I wanted to try it in one of my favorite enchilada recipes.

TIP:  You can replace the sour cream in your favorite recipes with Fage Greek Yogurt.  Try it and thank me later!

Anyway… if you aren’t familiar with Fage Greek Yogurt, this is what to look for next time you are in the grocery store…

It comes in full fat, 2% and 0% versions.  I went with the 2%.  It is thick and rich and just perfect for this recipe! Did you know it is lower calorie and lower carb than sour cream too?  Can I get a whoop, whoop!  :)   You can get all the nutritional info on their web site here.

It made my Enchiladas so incredibly creamy and AMAZING.  Let me tell you, I have the pickiest eaters on the planet over here.  If there was even the slightest hint of yogurt test, they wouldn’t have eaten it.  They gobbled it right up and never said a thing.  My husband even mentioned that it was the best batch I have made.

Here is the recipe in case you are interested in trying them for yourselves.  I promise you won’t regret it.

This is super delicious!  Be sure to come back and let me know what you think about it after you’ve made it.  I can’t wait for you to tell me how much your family LOVED it!  Smile
