Everyone loves wings!

The cilantro limes fajitas we made the other night turned out so well! They were really good, but very lime-y. Citrus fruits go a long way. In the future I may cut down the amount of citrus food asked for, but that's just a matter of personal preference. Here's a pic!

+Jimmy Ho and I love chicken wings! Unfortunately, because they are fried and covered in who really knows what, they are not healthy. Because we want to make foods we like in a healthier way, Jimmy and I began baking chicken wings a long time ago. Most of the time we would just make hot wings, and I also made lemon pepper for me. We like Asian sauces a lot, and luckily my +Vitamix recipe book had a recipe for a wing sauce. I used soy sauce, sesame oil, an orange, orange peel, garlic, and ginger. I mixed it in the Vitamix and tossed it with the baked wings. We LOVED it! Can't wait to try other sauces.

This morning I made a type of milkshake/smoothie for breakfast. I used banana, 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, a cup of soy milk and some ice. It was really good and kept me full until lunch time. I'm thinking about adding protein powder or oats next time.

This weekend was really busy for Jimmy and I! The weather has warmed up, and all I can think about is plants! I was dying, for rose bushes. I seriously talked to Jimmy about roses almost every day for 2 - 3 weeks. On Wednesday, we went and bought my roses! I bought 2 bushes to put on each side of the garage. So Wednesday night when we got home, we started digging the holes. The ground was SO hard, and there was stone mixed in with the dirt I'm assuming from the contractors that built our home. We even found a glove! It took so long for us to dig the holes, that we were not going to be able to plant them until Saturday morning. Saturday morning we planted the roses. The roses are a really pretty light purple/plum color. They are still small, but here is a pic of one of the roses.

I had been researching plants I wanted for a hanging basket, and I happened to find both of them on Sunday! I was SO excited. So of course I had to buy them, hanging baskets, and soil. I almost walked out of the store with a tree, a hibiscus, and a fern too, but Jimmy talked me in to waiting for some of those things. We'll see what happens this weekend! So I have planted the plants in the hanging baskets, but even though we hung them yesterday, I had to bring them in because of high winds. When I say high winds, I mean 30 mph. In Lubbock, 30 mph seemed completely normal. Here, 30 mph winds are crazy. There are trashcans blown up and down the streets, Jimmy's smoker has blown over, and our rug is out in the back yard somewhere. It's crazy. Luckily it was not as windy this morning, and the plants got a few hours of sun. I'll take more pics when they are hanging and as they grow.

And finally, our little seeds continue to sprout! The seed party heated up b/c the jalapenos and bell peppers showed up! Yeah.. that joke was cheesy, but it made Jimmy laugh when I said it the other day.

Over the weekend we also went to Whole Foods, and I was able to buy wheat berries and soy beans! So this week I'm going to make bread again, but this time I'll be making my own flour as well! I'll also make soy milk as soon as I use all of the HEB kind I bought. Hope everyone has a great week!
