Happy Monday Friends!
Hope you all had a great weekend. The hubby and I were able to venture out on Saturday for a wonderful and much needed date night! I seriously love date night. We had dinner, we checked out a free Goo Goo Dolls concert in town and then went to a new lounge in town and had a few drinks while chatting and of course enjoyed some good people watching. ;) I ended the night eating a huge slice of pizza for a late night snack. Yum!
First off, I need to share a recipe that is so easy and so unbelievably delicious. I made these for Valentine's Day and brought them to my hubby's work.
Valentine's Day Krispie Treats
6 cups Rice Krispie Cereal
1 bag Kraft Strawberry Heart Marshmallows
4 tbsp butter
1 bag white chocolate chips
Valentine's Sprinkles (and without the sprinkles, voila, you have yourself just a yummy, strawberry rice krispie treat!)
Butter the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Melt the butter completely and put it in a large, microwavable mixing bowl. Throw the marshmallows in over the butter and stir them around to coat in the butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds and stir. The marshmallows should be melted by now but if not, place them in the microwave for a few more seconds until they're nice and melted.
Pour the Rice Krispies in the bowl and mix well with the marshmallow. Put the mixture into the 9x13 pan and wet down your hand with water to press the mixture evenly in the the pan. Add the sprinkles to the top of the treats. Cover and cool in the fridge for about an hour.
Cut into squares and place on wax paper. Melt the white chocolate at 30 second intervals, stirring after each 30 seconds. Dip the bottom third to half of each treat into the chocolate and place upside down on the wax paper to cool.
Enjoy! Pure deliciousness.

Here's what we have cooking in our kitchen this week:
Monday: Chicken Piccata & roasted Brussel Sprouts - Another staple for us. This is one of Doug's favorites! Such great flavors.
Tuesday: Linguine with Shrimp Scampi - We make this pretty often as well. One of my favorite meals that Doug makes! It's light and refreshing with the lemon. The only thing we do without are the lemon slices.
Wednesday: Chopped Chicken Cobb Salads - We usually throw some chicken on the traeger, chop it up and throw it on our salads. We use romaine lettuce, gorgonzola cheese, tomato, avocado, hard-boiled eggs and bacon. We love to use a Red Wine & Olive Oil dressing.
Thursday: Spicy Beef & Sweet Potato Tacos - We are huge sweet potato fans and are always looking for recipes that involve sweet potato's. I came across this blog that has some great recipes that are budget friendly. Winner winner!
Friday: Possibly Pizza...Possibly a beer and a burger. I've been craving a good beer lately. I guess we will see how the week goes! ;)
What's on your menu for the week?!
