Spring Break 2016

Misc. stuff

Hi there, folks! Sorry I haven’t posted in a bit. Today was the first day back to work after spring break. The girls and I were lazy bums the whole week it was awesome. Here are some of our fun times…

Outside Fun   
   
Lunch out with daddy- Verde Taqaria 

No pic, but the fried green tomato tacos were amazing!

   
 
Yummy salmon!

Cooked in the oven at 350 with 3 lemons, one for juice and the other 2 sliced, a few tablespoons of olive oil, a handful of capers, and a few glugs of white wine for about 12 minutes. (Bake uncovered for 4-6 minutes per 1/2 thickness)

French Onion Soup

Soups

Hey guys! I just finished the BEST bowl of French Onion Soup!  I changed up my recipe just a bit…

Ingredients

2 onions, thinly sliced
1 container of beef broth
3 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
oyster crackers
provolone slices

 

Directions

1. Thinly slice the onions. Cook in a combo of a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and butter for at least 45 minutes. The onions are what make this soup. Cook as long as you can to get them super soft and caramelized. I also add the sugar and salt to help the cooking process and bring out the onions natural sweet flavor.

2. Add your stock and Worcestershire Sauce. Stir and cook until soup starts to bubble, about 10 minutes.

3. Ladle your soup in a ramekin or oven safe dish. Add in your oyster crackers and top with the cheese.
Broil on high until cheese is nice and brown and bubbly!

Hubby took Becca to her cheer party, so Katie and I decided to have breakfast for dinner. Sunny side up eggs and a blueberry bagel with cream cheese. Perfection!

Thursday- Fend for yourselves. (Space Camp field trip, so the family is on their own!)
Friday- Mexican per Katie. Margaritas per Mommy.

Time for bed! Sweet dreams!
