Christmas Time Is Here.... Happiness and Cheer...

CHRISTMAS TREE TIME!!

...We ended up buying everything for the tree (I LOVE Hobby Lobby!) ... Everything we thought of making didn't really match the ornaments I wanted. (I know what you're thinking, "Chelsea wanted to match something?!?" I don't know what got into me. :) Anyway... I love our jewel toned theme. It looks so pretty in our living room!

Side note: Tony picked out the topper. he-he :)

The last piece of the puzzle...

All done!

Thanksgiving 2010

Let's just say we have a ton of leftovers. I don't think I'll ever learn how to cook for just the two of us. It was my first time cooking an entire Thanksgiving dinner by myself and I must say, it turned out delicious. :) I made: Sweet Potato Casserole, Green Bean Casserole, Stuffing, Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Cranberry Salad and Pumpkin Pie.

We've got moves

Food Glorious Food

One thing we miss about Cincinnati is our favorite restaurant, Al-Madina. This hole in the wall Indian Market has quite possibly the best chicken sandwhich I've EVER eaten. It's so simple, but packed with flavor. This past weekend we decided to try making it ourselves. Now we don't have a tandoor to cook the chicken in, so we just put it on skewers and grilled it. We bought some naan from the grocery store and heated it up in the oven...

Next, I thinly sliced some onion and green peppers along with some tomatoes. I also made some garlic-yogurt sauce (so yummy) and bought some sriracha sauce.

The final product:

It didn't taste EXACTLY like Al-Madina, but it was darn close. Savory-Spicy yumminess. Mmm!

The work never ends...

I think Tony has a huge crush on his car... any spare time he has he's hangin out with her. :)

I suppose it's for a good reason though. Leaks are never good. ;)

Christmas is right around the corner!

So Tony and I ordered our Christmas tree yesterday. It's so pretty. :)

We want to make some of our own decorations...

Here's some of my ideas so far:

Cinnamon/Applesauce Ornaments

Popcorn/Cranberry Garland

Beaded Garland

Any other good ideas?
