Quest for the Best – Fajitas – La Hacienda

IMG_4153Oh Yes, La Hacienda is in Midtown Atlanta. The staff is super nice and the food is very good!

The cheese dip is great, because it has the chopped up jalepenos and they do not charge you extra for them. You start with two types of salsa.Fajitas2The yummy cheese dip….Fajitas1Then the fajitas…Fajitas 4Yeah! They cut the chicken up before they cooked them. These were very good. Fajitas 5Beans and rice, pico and guac, all very good, the rice especially.

Fajitas3Cute decor. I recommend this place as very good for fajitas.

Christmas Gift Ideas!

My neighbor wanted to give her niece a dog ornament for Christmas. So, I had these ceramic square ornaments. I printed a photo of one of her dogs and glued it to the ornament then finished it. Here is one of them. IMG_4155This is Hobie, quite the handsome dog. What I was making before this were these….IMG_4158This is Catfish, I printed in black and white, mounted to a canvas and finished with a dull Mod Podge….Here is Pumpkin IMG_4160Then the last one I have done is Addie. IMG_4164 Then all three on the mantel.IMG_4172Then I found these two books yesterday. They are awkward moments told by cute little animal, in a book, but postcards. IMG_4167and IMG_4166Are those a hoot or what? I can’t believe I have never seen them before.Do you have good christmas ideas?

Christmas on the Trail

IMG_4110We started on the trail and came upon this tree. It had about 15 ornaments and some red garland and gold garland. I think I will take an ornament on my walk tomorrow to add to the tree.IMG_4149The beautiful red berries on the bushes are natures decoration. IMG_4135These lovely little flowers decorated the path.IMG_4130This Hairy Woodpecker was busy at work. IMG_4146Whoops something is wrong with the picture. Merry Christmas to all!!!

Coop is Growing Up

IMG_4053When I first met Coop he didn’t lift his leg to pee, he just squatted (like a girl) but my boy is growing up. Not only did he lift his leg on our walk this morning, but he did it three times. Proud Mom, yes!

Although,  one of the neighbors introduced him to the delicacy of cat poop treats. Not mentioning any names, okay? Addie Butts….So, trying to discourage this new fun treat. IMG_4100Who me?

Manicotti Tonight

Manicotti 2This is my first attempt at Manicotti. Yes, it was delicious, the photo doesn’t do it justice. I used spicy turkey sausage for the sauce, The best part was the Ricotta cheese filling. I put it in a zip lock bag and cut off the tip on one side and I was filling the first and it was like a sitcom, it squirted out the top. I ended up filling them by hand. It was pretty funny. If you would like the recipe, let me know.

I made something else this week that I have never made before a Cajun Chicken Cassoulet. It had okra and chicken and sausage, andouille. This was very tasty. Again, if you would like this recipe let me know.

Sometimes enjoying a Staycation, you can have fun cooking!
