Chicken Cordon Bleu

Boyd made chicken cordon bleu and it was delicious! 

To add color he drizzled a raspberry chipotle sauce. Yum.

Noodles, Noodles, Noodles

For Valentine's day Boyd bought me a pasta roller. YES! I have been wanting this sucker for a very long time. I love fresh noodles. A while back Boyd asked me if I had noticed a box sitting in our room. Apparently it had been there for a few days. To be honest, I didn't even know it was there. Ugg, all along I could have been making noodles.

 Don't mind my nasty hand. Did you know that sugar plum soap has mango in it? I didn't and look what it did to my poor hand. 

 Boyd's first noodle ripped. But the rest turned out great!

Things we have learned about noodles: 

Don't use such a HUGE piece of dough to begin with. 

A setting 5 is for angle hair, not for regular spaghetti

Use good olive oil (it is a good thing we had some)

Make sure you exercise after because you will eat a ton of pasta

I'm a real wife now

I love making bread. Just not in loaf form. Boyd always laughs at me because I make bread sticks, rolls, bagels, anything but a loaf of bread. He told me the other day that since we have been married I have never made a loaf of bread. Well honey, I'm a real wife now. Here is your loaf of bread (from scratch)!

 A side note about my outfit:

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my fuzzy jammie pants. They are the most wonderful thing I have ever purchased from Costco. I love them so much I look forward to going home to change into them every single day. It's like a bath robe for your legs. They are warm, soft, comfy, cute, and I'm actually wearing them right now. I feel like a little kid that wears the same outfit every day. The only down side is that they make me look 20 lbs heavier than I am, but it is worth it.

Valentine's Day Flowers

After my two month hiatus, I'm going to try and be a good girl and blog regularly. Hopefully. Maybe. I'll try. 

Boyd gets me Gerber daisies every year for Valentine's day. It is so sweet. Here are my flowers this year. 

 I was extremely impressed that Heinen's actually had a special bag for their flowers. What a grand idea. These were some of the freshest flowers I have seen. I've decided that I will always get my flowers from them. 

I was able to make 3 different arrangements with the flowers Boyd bought me. 

Thank goodness for floral design. That was one of the best classes ever. Thanks BYU

I love the pink bear grass, especially in the vase like this.
