fathers day!

Happy fathers day to my hunny!! 

what's cookin...

John loves to cook. And he is a fantastic cook.

I even overlook all the dishes he uses and I have to wash because he is so good.
He loves to try new recipes and add his own ideas.
For Father's Day we got him THIS stuffed hamburger press.
(if you're interested make sure you do what they say in the reviews and wrap it in saran wrap so it doesn't stick...)
John decided to use it today and this is what we got...

Feta cheese & zucchini hamburger stuffed with Havarti cheese.

can i just say that it was amazing!!
i will most definitely kiss my cook!

father's day / balboa

I'm a little late in getting this up, but that's ok. We spent Father's day weekend in Balboa with John's family. His brother had rented a beach house and his family had spent the whole week there. The rest of us came down for the weekend. We had so much fun! Went kayaking and touched jellyfish, relaxed on the beach, went fishing, ate yummy dinners... it was a fun filled weekend.

Father's Day

To all the Father's in my life, I want to say Happy Father's Day!! You are all wonderful at the role you play. And you all work hard to deserve a day all of your own. Thank you for being such great dads!!


This year our father's day was very fun. Yesterday we went to an Angel's game with John's brother and dad. Then today I was going to make John my family's traditional Father's Day breakfast, but my mom called this morning and asked if we wanted to come over there for breakfast. So we came over to mom's and make the breakfast here where we all could enjoy it. It is such a good breakfast. Extremely delicious, yet we only make it twice a year. Mother's day and Father's day. Sometimes John requests them other times of the year and i oblige, but for some reason they seem more special on holidays.

And what is it you are asking??

Betty Crocker's Cinnamon Puffs!!!


Heat Oven to 450º

Ingredients:
2 cups flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1/4 c. shortening
3/4 c. milk (I've been using 1 c.)
1/3 c. butter (I normally need more)
1/2 c/ sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon (more if you like more cinnamon flavor)


Stir together in a bowl flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the shortening. The mixture should be crumbly. Stir in milk just until mixture holds together and forms a ball. Knead the dough about 20 times to smooth it out. Then divide into small balls (about 16) and place on a greased cookie sheet. Bake 10 - 12 minutes. While these are baking, melt the butter in a bowl. Then mix together the cinnamon and sugar. When the biscuits are done, while still warm dip them in the butter and roll them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture (the more covered the better). Place on platter & enjoy!!
