Random Recordings & Rockin' Recipes

A record of random updates from the month of December:

December 4th was Jim Beam Burger Day at Red Robin! Anyone whose name is James, Jamie, Jaime, Jaimie, Jami, Jamey, Jameson, Jimmy, Jimi, Jim, and of course, Jimbo; and for anyone who lives on Jim Street or on any street that includes a variation of Jim in the street name gets a free Jim Beam Burger! You have to show ID too. We went last year too. This year we went with Than & Ixchel & baby Rex.

I drive by the Phoenix Temple every day on my way to work. It's coming along so nicely :)

Babysitting Claire is so fun! 

Trevor & Whitney's baby is an angel!

Trying some new recipes:

Zucchini, Black Bean, & Rice Skillet

This meal was fast, easy, and healthy. I used brown rice to make it a little healthier but it would probably taste better with white rice. Maybe add some corn in it too?

Chicken Enchilada Skillet

If the chicken is already prepared, this recipe took me 10 minutes! It was muy delicioso! I'd make it again right now!

BBQ Chicken Pizza

I used premade whole wheat dough. Homemade crust is the best though. It's good to mix it up :)

Crock Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Soup

My onion was really strong. But it was good! This soup is so unique. When you first taste it, it really does taste like a cheeseburger! Then as you continue to eat it, it just tastes more like a yummy thick soup. For just two people I would halve this recipe otherwise you are stuck with leftovers for a week and you get really sick of it. 

The Hobbit & Chinese Food Date

Here we are at The Elephant Bar Restaurant 

 Chelsea eating Chinese...what?

 The restaurant had some cool elephant decorations!

James has been looking forward to this movie for a while...and we loved it! It was very well done, entertaining, with some appropriate humor that was just enjoyable to watch! We were pleased.

Those are my random recordings of December
