Found my new favorites.....

So its been awhile since I have sat down to blog.....we have been busy doing a whole lotta not much....I have continued my love affair with Tex Mex and Mexican food....Yesterday for the Coug Game (sucks we lost, I am actually glad they switched our game feed at half time)...anyway....I did my first attempt at making Gorditas.....homemade from scratch.....can we say holy goodness.....and so easy and fun to make....they are like a Mexican pita pocket.....only ten times better.....I just love the flavor of Masa (corn dough).....For the filling I make some shredded chicken in the crock pot all day with some spices, tomatoes, jalapenos,onions and a few other things.....a new recipe that I made up....it was pretty good chicken and I will post both recipes soon on the Breezy.....along with the chicken, I had the usual filling of cheese, homemade guac, greens and hot sauce......I just love food.......I think I will make more "little fat ones" (Gorditas) tomorrow.....I LOVE THEM.....

So my dad's family has been in town sans my dad......Tonight they stopped by to see the house.....so fun having guests from home....and then took us out to dinner....our choice and since they hadn't had Mexican food this week we decided that would be the choice for dinner tonight.......and can I say that we ate at my new favorite San Antonio restaurant.....Thank you to our awesome neighbor Carlos #1 (we have two neighbors named Carlos and I have picked their names in the order I met them) for recommending it....anyway the place was called La Fogata and talk about awesome atmosphere, great drinks, good salsa (Can we say a little bite & some smoke, so yum) and my dinner was awesome...and every ones food was awesome....and not to mention good service.....It was a little cold and misty tonight so we ate inside but next time I would love to sit outside with all their beautifully decorated patio space, with bonfires and fountains......this place has the best Mexican Food I have ever had (OK, So I have to tell you I have not been to Mexico)....Just know if you visit us down here and you like Mexican food we will be taking you to eat here....and if you don't like Mexican we will take you here anyway for some awesome top shelf margaritas.......SO freaking good, I mean can you be IN LOVE with a restaurant after only 1 visit?????? I just can not say enough good things about this place......it has everything.....So glad we were able to find it and take Susan, Gerry, Rob, Kathy and Diane there.....hope they enjoyed it as much as we did......One thing I didn't bring to the restaurant was my camera.....oh well, I will hit Aunt Susan up for some pics to and post later.....

So the girls are doing great......Lila is down to nursing 3 times a day.....weaning is a bit more challenging then I thought it would be.....but we are doing it.....she has also started to teach herself to fall asleep on her own and stay in her crib most nights....she has also started to eat more food......but not really walking yet.....she can stand and take a few steps, but she would rather crawl.....all good by me......Kiara and Mikiah are really into their books right now, they got a bunch of new Dr Seuss ones (including Horton hears a Who pop up book) for Easter and they love to sit and have story time.....I have got to get them to the library.....I miss it and they miss it.....funny thing, I think it is Wednesdays here too....I am actually waiting for my Texas Drivers license to get here (I have a paper one with no pic) and then the girls and I will get our library cards.....fun fun....they are also into a new show on Nick Jr Ni Hao, Kai-lan and I must say I like this show, the songs are so catchy and I find myself singing them all day.....and the messages are usually pretty good......

So like I said not much new here.....just my continued love affair with Tex Mex and Mexican Food.....here is to good eats and margaritas on the rocks.....
