Day Trippin'

Took a trip up to the mountains thru Pecos, NM on Sunday and finally got to see some green!!! Here are a few pics from our day and a few more of the kids...

It's Official!!!

Shera passed her AKC Canine Good Citizen test this morning!!! Next step is to mail in her paperwork, get her certificate and head over to the Santa Fe Pet Outreach Program and begin work as a therapy dog!

Doggy Day Care

Leonidas had his first day of doggy day care today and is completely exhausted!!! Can't wait to bring him back next week for more play time.

DNA for Leonidas!

So the report is in!

Leonidas is half purebred Boxer, mixed with Icelandic Sheepdog and a small amount of Miniature Bull Terrier. Sure glad he's mostly Boxer, that's what must make him such a great pup!

Frito Pie

We took a drive up to Taos, NM and stopped at a great little joint called Orlandos. I was really craving beans and decided to get the frito pie with chicken and green chili, yum! Once we got home I decided I'd give it a try.... here's my recipe for frito pie with green chili and chicken. Enjoy!

Frito Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken, chopped
• 1/4 C. onion, diced
• 1/4 tsp. garlic, diced
• 2 Tbls. olive oil
• 13 oz. Bueno chopped green chili **
• 15 oz. can of beans (I like black but you can use pinto)
• Lettuce, chopped
• 1-2 tomatoes, chopped
• Cheddar, grated
• Fritos Corn Chips

** If you don't have Bueno green chili in your area, you can roast and chop your own green chili. Please visit the following website for roasting your own chili: How to Roast Green Chilies.

Directions:

1. Cook chicken in olive oil with onion and garlic. Once chicken is mostly cooked, add green chili.
2. Warm can of beans.
3. Place beans onto plate, top with chicken green chili mixture, cheese, lettuce, tomato and frito chips. Serve with warmed flour tortillas.

Finish off dinner with some yummy Trader Joe cookies!!!
