Our kitchen is FINISHED!!!

We finished the kitchen floor yesterday and got everything moved back in last night!

Corny Chicken Wraps

So, I'm on a mission this summer to try some new recipes. I found this one in the 2005 Taste of Home Annual Recipes book! We tried it tonight and it was pretty tasty!

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1/2 C. chopped green pepper
1/4 C. chopped green onions
2 teaspoons canola or vegetable oil
1- 1/2 C. frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
1-1/2 C. salsa
1/4 C. sliced ripe olives
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
6 flour tortillas (8 inches), warrmed
1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

In a nonstick skillet, saute the chicken, green pepper and onions in oil for 3-4 minutes or until chicken juices run clear; drain. Stir in the corn, salsa, olives, and chili powder. Cook and stir over medium heat for 3-4 minutes or until heated through. Spoon about 1/2 C. chicken mixture over one side of each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese; roll up and secure with toothpicks.

Space Shuttle Launch

We didn't get to go down to Kennedy Space Center to watch the launch, but we did see it as we drove down the road. I took a picture from my camera phone and finally figured out how to get it from my phone to my computer! :)

Donald Duck????

We've had a good time in Florida this week. Jennifer's flight left at 8ish this morning, so we've been hanging out at the airport since about 7ish. It's now 10:30 ET and we're still hanging out. We're doing some people watching, surfing the internet, etc.....only a couple more hours until we get to board our plane and go home. Hopefully, I'll have time this next week to upload some pictures of our trip!



Here's a preview picture! :)

Blue Foot

So, our basement had some water in it the other day...so I put on some old flip flops to get explore! Well, I felt that my foot was sticky, but thought I'd stepped on tape or a sticker or something. Well, I was wrong....somehow, my flip flop melted to my foot. Yes, if you look carefully you can see some blue stuff on the heel of my foot -- that is BLUE flip flop! They're old flip flops that are deteriorating, and apparently meshed with my foot. I scrubbed and scrubbed, but there's still a bit of blue left....hopefully it wears off before too long!

Our Fridge's New Home

Well our fridge has a new home:

Yes, it's in our living room! Just for now. We have to finish the kitchen floor and we hated for our basement to get water in it and ruin our new fridge!
