cilantro is a must in my quesadillas

All day I was in the mood for quesadillas and so by supper time I had my nice, fresh ingredients and started chopping away.  The cilantro is a real must for me as I absolutely love the taste:)

 I used my mini chopper for the onions and garlic and I quite like the size they became. I used about a half of a bunch of cilantro, one onion, a couple of cloves of garlic and about five tomatoes.  A sprinkle of sea salt and a glug of olive oil and I was ready.  

I shredded my cheese and put one wrap in the pan, sprinkled some cheese on it and folded it in half. I turned it over once the cheese started melting and then out of the pan it came onto my plate.

All that was left was to put some sour cream and my lovely tomato salad inside and voila I was ready for the scrumptious bite that followed!

I'm listening to "The Head And The Heart" thinking about all that's been going on in my life.  The sun is shining and I feel happy to be alive right now!
I wanted to give you a little snapshot into what I'm up to.  I've partnered with a company and have put my own spin on it and am loving being part of something that is so much bigger than myself. For the first time in my life I feel like I'm an owner in a company with a cause and a mission that I whole heartedly believe in, yay, it feels good!

the head and the heart

I was just reading one of my favorite earthy blogs soulemama
and she wrote about a band that she really liked, I checked them out and I'm in love!!!  "The Head And The Heart" are a group that play music that get me excited about LIFE!  I'm posting two videos. I can't wait to hear more from them as well as maybe go to one of their concerts:)  Here's to love, life and music! 

the importance of being earnest

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament. Oscar Wilde  

Last night a couple of friends and I went to see "The Importance of being Earnest."  The play was simply delightful!  I laughed so much and was amazed how relevant and witty the material was.  Thanks girls, what fun!

It was so cool to see actors from my community in a play, it definitely made me think that I need to do this more often. Include in that some gallery visits and hopefully one day soon attend my own art show opening at a cafe:)

Lemon Cake with Chai Tea Icing

Lemon Cake with Chai Tea Icing (This one's for you Alessandra)

Oh. My. Goodness!!!  Wow!  Making this cake was the most fun I've had in the kitchen thus far.  The smells were to die for.  As I downloaded these photos I swear I could smell the lemons bubbling away:) I found the recipe for this cake from honey and jam

The only thing that I changed was to use Chai tea, still black, for the icing because I loved the spicy smell. It was dreamy to make and presented nicely, the next day Tey and I were licking our fingers as we finished it and all I can say is yum!  Have fun  with this one!  So, even though the Bachelor didn't end like I would have wanted it to it was fun to get together, watch a show and of course, eat cake!

jane eyre, cake, dancing and meditation

An afternoon of Jane Eyre, content that the children are happily playing with daddy so that I can have some girl time.  Oh so wonderful!  Hot drink in hand, dark mint chocolate close by and a great friend to chat with:)  The end was as any great love story should be, perfect!  

Today I will attempt a cake that I found on a wonderful blog honey and jam

I'm excited for it to turn out!  If I said it was for the "Bachelor" party we are having tonight please don't judge me to harshly:)  I'll let you know how it turns out.  

The girls are singing to "The Cat In the Hat" while collecting little treasures around the house and arranging them in fun scenes.  I love watching their imaginations at work.  Neka was leading me through her "Dashama" dance this morning (totally made up by her).  I love these little darlings so much it hurts sometimes:)

I think it's time to take the eggs and butter out of the fridge.  Have a wonderful Monday!  Take time to nourish yourself today in body soul and mind.  I took some time to meditate this morning on some scripture, Proverbs 31 verses 10-31.  The Virtuous Wife is a passage that really inspires me to be all that I can be!
