Hi my name is MOM oh wait my birth-name is Alexis. These days it's MOM and yes that's right it comes out at a level higher then a scream! I have 2 very active boys. Hope you enjoy the wacky world I call life between working full time and taking care of the 3 boys (that includes my husband).
Rick wanted something different then the usual that I have been making so I found some pork chops on sale at Winco so I picked them up and had to find something to do with them! Thanks to Google I found a yummy marinate. I started the marinate early since it was Tuesday and that is when our friends come for dinner. Sadly later that day she had cancel and I already had the chops marinating so I had Rick put them on the grill and knew I would use them again later that week. My little helper Caden had to get into helping to, man I’m telling you when he gets married the lady better thank me for his cooking skills … lol
Have a great Monday everyone, I’m still trying to find the bottom to this thing they call my life. I need some normal here soon .
As many of you know Tuesday’s here is dinner with my friend from high school and her son. The boys get play time and we get time to sit and chat about our week or the husbands . Last week I made my first Carne Asada and Coconut Cream Pie. I know two first time recipes, believe me this situation has not ALWAYS worked in my favor. Just ask Rick we have had to scrap the meal and pick something up, I’m glad to say this wasn’t the case with this meal. The dinner was delicious the only thing that happened is the kids left more cheese on my floor then in their bellies … hehe
First on the menu was Carne Asada Marinade that we then put on whole wheat flour tortilla’s. The marinade was to make and my favorite was it was made the night before and then the next night I was able to throw it on my indoor grill.

<p>This was a simple marinade that was very delicious. (Sorry the photo is a little off in color my camera was dying a slow death)</p>
And for the dessert I made HG's Crazy-Amazing Coconut Cream Pie. I have been lead to Hungry Girl’s website and I am VERY impressed! She has the book 300 under 300 (calories) and is on the Food Network. Her revamp of meals is amazing plus she gives WW points for those who follow that program.
