Crab Stack

T-5 days until summer school is over! It honestly hasn't been that bad...except for Physics. I am taking an English and Physics class during summer this year to get ahead. I have been putting off this Physics class since I entered college for one simple reason: I strongly dislike science. It has never been more clear to me now that I was not born to be a Physicist.

Needless to say after a stressful week of trying to understand Physics I was so excited when I recieved a call on Friday that my monogrammed swimsuit bottoms were ready! Clint and I are having our engagement party on the river, so I decided that I wanted to monogram a pair of my bikini bottoms for the occasion. They turned out fabulous!

Also on Friday Clint made our favorite appetizer from Saltgrass Steakhouse at home! We have a good friend that works there, Kaitlin, and everytime we eat there we always have to order a Crab Stack. It is so good! It's a $15 appetizer at the restaurant so since we love it so much Clint decided to try and make it himself. It turned out so good and it was relatively easy.

Clint's Crab Stack

-3 avocados
-Pico de gallo
-Lump crab meat
-French's French Fried Onions

1. Make a cylinder funnel out of computer paper and tape it together.
2. Place it on a plate
3. Peel and slice the avocados into tiny cubes and place at the bottom of the funnel
4. Cut up the crab meat and place on top of avocados
5. Add pico de gallo (as much or as little as you like)
6. Top with French's french fried onions
7. Slowly remove the cylinder so all the ingredients are stacked ontop of one another
8. Enjoy with chips!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Meatball Subs and a Surprise

If you read my blog yesterday you know that Hillary and I were attempting to make meatball subs for dinner last night. Well there were amazing! We are seriously considering opening up a restaurant;) They were incredibly easy to make and tasted like heaven! Here is what we did:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

We combined 1/2 pound lean ground beef in a bowl with
-3 tablespoons egg whites
-1 cup Italian bread crumbs
-1/2 cup onions chopped finely
-1 teaspoon minced garlic
-2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
-2 pinches of ground parsley
-1/4 cup Parmigiano cheese
-Sprinkle course salt and pepper

1. Mix everything together so all the ingredients are mixed together well.

2. Form the meat into balls and place them on a baking sheet ontop of foil.

3. Bake the meatballs for 11-12 minutes or until the edges of the meatballs are a golden brown.

If you are feeling really adventurous you can make homemade marinara sauce. We, however, used Prego!

After we warmed up the sauce all we had to do was construct our sub and sprinkle on some shredded mozerella cheese and we were good to go!

I knew it was going to be good because the aroma in the kitchen smelled like an italian restaurant and Bo was drooling! I wish I could of given him some of the meatballs but he is on a strict no protein diet..poor baby:(

So needless to say dinner was a success! Now today was kind of rocky. I had a physics exam that almost made my brain explode. I stayed up almost all night studying for it as well as waking up this morning at 7am to begin to review some more. It was a rough morning! The exam went okay, there were definitely some tricky questions but there were also some I knew which was a good feeling. The best part of my day was when I walked into our apartment and was greeted with this...

:):) I love you Clint! He is the absolute best! I love surprises and flowers and when they are wrapped up in one, well you can't get much better than that! Look how beautiful they are! They were even accompanied with a special love note which has definitely made my week!

Clint, if you are reading this at work (on your break of course) thank you for being so thoughtful today! You made me smile so big when I walked in the door! You can always turn my day around from good to GREAT! I love you xoxo

Yay for tomorrow being Friday!

Anyone have any big Father's Day plans?
