Today was a wonderful day.
The weather was BEAUTIFUL!
The kids were all well-behaved (except for at nap-time...oops)
The kids and I spent all morning & part of the afternoon at my friend Tami's house. She has beautiful 14 month twin girls that I absolutely adore... and my kids love to play with her babies! So it's always a good time! She has her entire living room child-proofed & gated so the kids are safe to play in that area. So, while the kids completely trashed her play area, she and I (and her teenage cousin who's there visiting) worked on tagging clothes for the upcoming TMOM Sale! I guess I figured since I'd be at her house, I wouldn't get to work on my own stuff today, so I'd help her with her's! We had fun! She made lunch for us all (Tuna Noodle Casserole)... YUMMY! Then our friend Breanna came over with her 14 month old b/g twins. It was quite crowded... but it was a good time!
After Tami's we came home and the kids went down for a nap- they fought sleep though, so it was a short nap. BUT... after nap, my mom and brother came over for dinner. We had Quesadilla Burgers. Backtrack...
One day a couple of years ago, I had the Quesaburger at Applebees:
It was decent, but I knew, being the WONDERFUL cook that I am (and modest too, right?), that I could make it better. So, soon thereafter, I did it! It was SO yummy, that every time I make it, my mom HAS to come over... as she said today, "Can't pass up a tortilla burger!" Anyways, the pic above is similar, but this is what I do:
*1lb ground beef- formed into 3 oblong patties (so it'll fit on the tortilla)
*1 Cup shredded colby/jack cheese
*1/2 onion sliced
*3 Tbsp butter
*6 Tbsp salsa (2 per burger)
*3 flour soft-taco sized tortillas
*2 Tbsp oil
*sour cream (for topping, if desired)
--I cook the burgers on the George Foreman grill until cooked through. Meanwhile, I saute the onion slices in the butter until soft. Heat oil in a separate skillet- make sure one side of each tortilla has oil on it. Then on 1/2 of tortilla, I layer:
Cheese
1 Tbsp salsa
Burger
Onion
1 Tbsp Salsa
Cheese
Then fold the tortilla over & allow to cook on both sides until slightly browned. When the cheese is melted, remove from heat and enjoy. Personally, I like to add corn to mine, but I don't think Tim or my mom like it with corn on it. So... it would be up to your preference! But we all agree that it needs the sour cream to finish off the perfection!!!!
My mom has made them for herself at home, but says they never turn out as good!
You really should try them!
They're super Delish!
After dinner we watched American Idol. My brother looks JUST like one of the guys, so that makes it even more fun to watch...we keep telling Nathan he should audition so he can be on AI too! LOL!
Xander left at 6 to go to church with his friend, Josh. Then, since it's Spring Break, he's going to stay the night at Josh's house...he was so excited to be able to hang out with his friend for the night! Asher doesn't know what to do with himself without Xander here. He loves that he's the center of attention since Xander isn't here, BUT he seems a little lost! He idolizes his big brother! I know he misses him when he's gone!
Now that the night is almost over, I am EXHAUSTED! Hoping for a good night of sleep!
Was your Wednesday as Wonderful as mine??
