Allison and I have dinner plans this evening with a good friend of mine. We are going to a local Mexican restaurant, Manuel’s that decorates it’s entire place for Halloween. Every year it’s like eating in a haunted house. Dark, spooky and scary stuff every where. It’s so much fun and their food just so happens to my favorite around here.

I am thinking of making this to take to my sister’s house this Friday night.  I’t sounds to die for!

These are awesome !

You will need,

2 ripe but firm bananas
6 ounces dark chocolate, chopped, or semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup granola, chopped pecans and walnuts, or sprinkles (optional)

I ran to Subway for lunch today. When I walked in they were just pulling a batch of cookies out of the oven. It smelled like a bakery! Smelled so good that I told the girl, that is just evil baking those cookies during lunch hour, there’s no way I can leave with out buying some. Evil, ha, when she added the cookies to my order, it rang up at $6.66. She looked at me and said, when you said evil, you weren’t kidding. Of course I bought three for a dollar, and of course I ate all three this afternoon already. Evil yummy cookies.

What is it about the word “diet” that makes me so damn hungry?

It’s what’s for dinner.

1/2 c. (1 stick) butter
2 tsp. minced garlic (4 cloves)
1 lb. lg. shrimp, shelled, deveined
2 med. red bell peppers, seeded, sliced
1 tbsp. dried leaf basil, crumbled
2 tsp. dried parsley
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. coarsely ground pepper
1/2 lb. spinach linguini, cooked and drained

In large skillet, melt butter, saute garlic 1 minute. Add shrimp, red pepper slices, basil, parsley, salt and pepper.
Saute 3 to 5 minutes until shrimp are tender. Serve over linguini.

Yum!

I made Mexican for dinner last night and these new Flour Tortilla Chips are awesome !

It may only be 24 degrees outside but that didn’t stop me from enjoying some DQ this afternoon with the girls.
