Weekend Recap!

We ended up having a fun afternoon and night on Folly watching football and going out to dinner.  Hurrican Sandy had the waves up and lots of surfers out...

We went to dinner at a place called the Sandbar that we have never been to...I wouldn't suggest it...the food was alright, but the atmosphere was seriously lacking.

The next morning, my step-sister Payton and I went to breakfast at one of our favorite Folly restaurants...Lost Dog Cafe.  Payton had chocolate milk and the strawberry banana french toast.  I had the turkey, bacon, swiss croissant with home fries.  Delish!

When I got home from Folly on Sunday morning a HUGE tree limb had fallen in our front yard/onto our front porch.  Luckily, there wasn't too much damage, but I am glad I wasn't home when it happened!  Jimmy's parents came over to help me clean up the mess and brought me these pretty sunflowers that they grow on their farm...

To continue with the food theme...Sunday night several of my friends came over for a little post weekend gossip sesh to catch up on the weekends events and to have dinner.  I cooked my favorite chicken enchiladas and mexican green beans.  I forgot to take a picture of the enchiladas, but I use the very unhealthy recipe from Paula Deen's magazine several years ago.  A similar recipe can be found here...http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=872815

I can't find the original recipe and I usually just dump a bunch of stuff together since I have made them so many times.  The main things that I add that are not in this recipe that were in the original is some Mexican rice...I use any type (rice a roni, frozen steamfresh mexican rice, etc.) as well as some cumin and ground red pepper.  SO GOOD!  The green beans were also grown on Jimmy's parents farm so I boiled those until tender, and cooked down a can of rotel tomatoes with some chopped onion and then drained the green beans and added to the tomato mixture.  Easy and good!  I have been looking forward to eating leftovers for dinner all day today! :)

I have a busy week planned with tonight being my only night at home!  Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Here We Go...

Well, I've decided to start a blog...long time reader (stalker) of many.  I'm not a Moore yet, but next July 20th I will be...less than 9 months to go!  So, there will be some wedding planning, some fun, and some everyday life going on here.  We will just pick up with what's going on lately...

Meet Hudson...aka Hudbug...my sister, Brooke's baby!  You will be seeing lots of him here, too.  Last Sunday we took him to the pumpkin patch at Boone Hall.  We had to wake him up from a nap once we got there so he was a little out of it.

Me and the Hudbug!

Brooke and Hudson!

Little boy, Big tractor...with his dad, Jeff.  I'm new at this...can't figure out how to turn the pic.

Last night we went to dinner at a new place in West Ashley called The Angel Oak before our dad's football game...he coaches a high school team here in Charleston.  The Angel Oak was really good!  We had fried bacon, fried green tomatoes, and I had Piggy Mac as an entree...macaroni and cheese with bbq mixed in.  Healthy, I know. :)

And here is a pic of Jimmy and I...the one who will make me a Moore at a recent engagement party thrown for us...more on that to come later.

I am off to enjoy a Saturday full of football, food, cold beverages, and family on Folly Beach!
