Pinterest Dinner - Southwest Wraps

we are definitely a meat and potatoes family but every once in a while we enjoy trying something new. i put my sous chef to work and used a recipe from pinterest....the southwest chicken wrap with black beans and rice found here.



picture thanks to pinterest. (i was too busy cooking as the 'head chef' to take pics. :p hindsight is that i should have made paige the photographer!)

we stayed with the recipe very closely. instead of putting all of the ingredients together to stuff the wrap we chose to put the shredded chicken, rice and bean/veggie mix in their own bowls and make the wraps to our individual liking. i think this is really fun for kids. also, it's a great recipe for a family who enjoys eating meat or has vegetarians in the family. if you're like us...you have a picky eater in your family who enjoys very much making their own creation....i won't name names. :0)

The Pour Over

one item i had on my christmas list was a pour over coffee brewing system from starbucks.

i've been very pleased with the results. if you are a coffee lover like me...you might enjoy this, too!

here is mine in action:




















you might be wondering what i added to my coffee grounds....that is cinnamon and freshly ground nutmeg. it's wonderful and adds a nice little spice to the drink. i highly recommend giving it a try.
