WICTW: Episode 2

I tried four fantastic recipes from Creme de la Crumb before Spring Break.
Here's the lineup:

1. Spicy Korean Beef Noodles: This was SO good. So, so good. I made the noodle part again (minus the beef) for lunch another day when a friend came over to chat. It's a hit. Keeper recipe for our family. They're hot. Warning! But that didn't stop Jonah from eating them. The flavor is SO good!

I purchased a "value pack" size steak package (I'm not super picky about steak types...I'm kind of a wing-it girl) and refrigerated half of the pack for the next evening's dinner.

2. Garlic Steak and Potato Foil Packs: Great flavor and really easy to prep ahead of time! We love any kind of foil pack. I served with Roasted Brussels Sprouts.

3. Grilled Chicken Margherita: SO GOOD! Jeremy took the leftovers for lunch and raved about it the next day as well. He is NOT a leftovers kind of guy. At all. I served this with basic spaghetti noodles tossed with a couple TBSP of basil pesto (the kind in the jar). Was a huge hit! Definite do-over!

And, this week I found my way BACK to the same website and made this recipe in the crock-pot:
4. Cream Cheese Chicken Chili: I've had this a couple days for lunch leftover and it's delicious. I'll make this one again also!
------------

Thus far I've been super impressed with the Creme de la Crumb recipes I've tried. I found her randomly awhile back and wanted to mix up my weeknight SkinnyTaste rotation. Her recipes aren't as "light" as ST, but it's been great to try a few new things. My gang has all approved!

Now that I'm thinking about those Korean Noodles I'm going to add the ingredients to my grocery order for next week. SCORE.

California Disneyland Adventure

We completely surprised Jonah with a trip to DISNEYLAND in California for his very first “big school” Spring Break. It was an epic surprise- and an amazing trip!! We had the most fun together!! 

We explored LA, ate delicious food, put our feet into the Pacific and spent a day at Disneyland in Anaheim.
