Every New Year’s Eve our family- at the stroke of midnight quickly eats 12 grapes, each grape representing each month of the year. As you eat each grape you make a wish for the upcoming year. Have a Happy New Year’s and may all your wishes come true!! Love Sweet Life
Breakfast Chalupas
Well I overslept today, I really hate it when this happens- it throws my whole day off. I quickly got dressed and went to tackle the 800 loads of laundry that were quietly waiting for me. As I began my task of sorting I felt a piercing sensation, I turned to look and there they were, looking at me like starved little wolves. They gave me the please feed us eyes. Okay I needed to feed these savages quickly, so I threw these chalupas together. Let’s begin.

Christmas Cuteness
I recently went to Kmart to look for a set of glass ornaments, and I found these cute ornaments from Martha Stewart. Leave it to Martha to make something we use on a daily basis, look so darn cute.

I have moved several times and the process is always the same. I pack my cookbooks first, but my kitchen last- I continue to cook while the packing process is in full swing trying to empty the freezer. I had 8 boxes of cookbooks alone, which kinda took me by surprise- I thought I had more???

Banana Cake with Chocolate Frosting
When Papi (my dad) goes to the store to buy groceries there is always the same items in his basket, he can’t help it my mom has gone to spend time with my little sis in Kansas and my little brother in California. So he is kinda winging it, since it is the first time he has really been alone, without mom spoiling him with her awesome cooking. So he takes off early in the morning to the store, he doesn’t like to shop in the crowds.
