i think this might be our new favorite yums for these warmer days!!!!

here is how we make them:  8oz goat cheese, 4oz of light cream cheese, 1/4 cup fresh light shredded parmesan, 1/2 tsp of salt, 2 green onions, 2 roma tomatoes (seeded & chopped) and 12 jalapeno’s (halved length wise and seeded)  Mix first 6 ingredients in a bowl, then spoon into the jalapeno’s.  We put them on the grill for about 5 minutes…until the bottoms are blackened a bit and the cheese is melted.  You can sprinkle chopped cilantro on top, but we always forget to do this…

of course nothing goes better with a gorgeous 75F sunny day than a Strawberry Jalapeno Margarita!

i might get into this blogging thing again, but for now…you just get a few words and a few photos thrown at you!  we are doing well…life is busy and we have only 6 more weeks left of school…crazy how time has been flying!!!

isn’t she beautiful?

we will be floating our kitchen this summer…we decided as a family that life would be more fun in a 16ft river raft instead of a stainless steel, concrete remodeled kitchen…i would have to agree!  we have hours, days, weeks, months, years of fun to have in this beautiful beast!

and who wouldn’t want to be on the river with this sexy rowing guide?  he looks like he belongs on that throne…don’t ya think?  i love being on the river with my best friend and that sweet knucklehead in the background…

i do believe we will only have bigger smiles from these two…currently the water is freezing cold, so no jumping in, but once that water warms up…well the fun will begin…rafting, swimming, diving, etc.  we just have to hope for more snow in the mountains in the next couple of months, so that our colorado doesn’t run to a trickle.  we have plans, overnights, camping, nights in a tent, fun with friends…it will be a fabulous summer of fun in our new kitchen.

we have a few names currently for our boat, but have not settled on any of them…

millie–because we used our stipends from the mill levy to put a down payment on this boat

dale–because i christened the boat, by spilling my dales beer in the boat

kitchen–because that is what we picked over the new kitchen…giggle…this will not be what it will be called!

need I say MORE?????

you are to use white(blanco) tequila, but when you have only jose cuervo in the house, then you make do…we are not RICH, so i needed to INFUSE my own tequila with 1 jalapeno pepper…cut it in quarters and let stand for 6 hours…or double the recipe and let it stand for 36 hours…giggle!  i love hot!  i think it is kind of pretty in the sunlight!

of course it is even more delicious when you use fresh strawberries…mixed up with some agave syrup….YUM!

i also decided to splurge and get raw sugar and mixed it with sea salt to dip the lip of the glass in…also YUM!

i love to use fresh lime juice…look at that drink…don’t you want to get your lips around that rim?????

and what better place to drink a strawberry jalapeno margarita…the deck in our new TARGET chairs that go oh so lovely with our beautiful stucco wall that rick built!  and how about that tree of life…awesome-ness, huh?
