Spring Has Sprung!




I truly do love to see the season change.
It is the one thing that we can know will come to pass.
With each season brings new life and hope.
We can start anew even in the smallest of ways.
Plant some seeds.
Pick up a new book.
Start a long awaited project.
Visit an old friend.
Try a new recipe.
Help someone in need.
Share a smile.


Just as the birds come back to their homes after 
migrating from the cold we too can come back home.


This spring I will walk more.
When I walk I will listen and look around me.
I will take it all in.
I love to pray when I walk alone especially 
when I am walking in the mountains.
I feel so blessed to live in Colorado and 
be able to witness God's handiwork.
I never want to take this for granted.

One of my favorite prayers is one that my 
Granny always prayed.
In this prayer it announces.....
I fly unto thee

We may always fly to our mother Mary.
She will always greet us with open arms and wrap us in her
complete and unconditional love.

The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. 
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come,before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate,despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. 
Amen.


How will you start anew this spring?
I would love to know!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

Triple C Rolls
Chicken, Cheese and Cilantro 


This is so very yummy!
It is such an easy recipe to pull
put of your mama recipe box when 
you have some chicken left over!
I had made some extra chicken breasts
and came up with this quick recipe.
I had all of the ingredients already
so this was a 
Winner
Winner
Chicken Dinner
I'm thinking this would be a great appetizer
as well. I was also thinking if you wanted to make it really fattening you could dump some yummy queso 
on top of each individual serving!
It does have a yummy tex mex feel to it!
I want to serve it with some fresh pico 
and a guacamole salad


Triple C Rolls
1  pound of cooked/grilled chicken breasts (chopped)
3/4 block of cream cheese (room temperature)
2 Tbs of finely chopped white onion
1/3 cup of chopped cilantro
3/4 cup of Monterey Jack Cheese
1 refrigerated pie crust 
1 small chopped jalapeno (OPTIONAL)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
Spread out one pie crust on kitchen counter.
Spread the chicken mixture on pie crust and roll up until it is one
long roll. Place the roll on a well greased pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until crust becomes slightly browned. Slice into bars
and serve alone as an appetizer or with a salad for dinner.
I dumped some pico on mine and sliced up some avocado.
It was yummy, yummy yummy!
I doubled the recipe when I served them as appetizers.

This Little Piggy Went To Market!

I have to confess
 I LOVE BACON
Pretty Much
ANYTHING
with
BACON!
OINK OINK!
The Big Bad Wolf 
Likes Bacon Too!

So This Recipe Is For 
All The Bacon Lovers
Out There!

Little Piggy Appetizer 
3/4 cup grated Romano or Parmesan Cheese
One Sleeve of Rectangular Club Crackers (Waverly Wafers is what I use)
1 pound sliced bacon (cut in half)

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the cheese on each cracker and wrap the bacon around it.  Stack a broiler rack on top of a cookie sheet to catch juices from bacon.  Place the wrapped cracker on the broiler rack seam down.  Bake for 2 hours.  No need to flip crackers.  Serve hot or at room temperature.

I know what you are thinking!  No they are not soggy!  They actually crisp up really nice! These are such a hit with the menfolk!
I made a batch of these and they were gone in 5 minutes flat! 
NO LIE!

DOES NOT LIE!
