Now being a busy mom I also need recipes that are quick and easy and keep the peeps happy. So while thumbing through the <a href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/">Williams-Sonoma</a> catalog (have I mentioned how much I LOVE W-S?)<br />

I ran across this delicious looking recipe for breakfast burritos. My family loves breakfast and I am always looking for new ways to spruce up the most important meal of the day, so I thought this recipe to be perfect. Also, with having our monthly family brunches, this would give me the chance to showcase my skills and add to the three things i am known for cooking well! However, it called for their <a href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/breville-panini-press/?pkey=e%7Cbreville%2Bpanini%7C3%7Cbest%7C0%7C1%7C24%7C%7C1&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH%7C%7CNoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-Top_Marketing_free_ship_billboard-_-">Breville Panini </a>press which cost a pretty penny, $119.95! Now, I haven't priced panini presses and was not in the market for buying one so I wasn't sure if this was a good price or not. I just needed a recipe and so I decided to try it without the pretty shiny panini press. Sooooo, I fried it up in the the pan!<br />
<br />
Now, of course mine didn't come out all pretty like the W-S panini pressed burrito, but it sure was tasty. The fam gave it a two thumbs up! Check out the recipe below (I modified it a bit, in red) and have fun making your own modifications to birth your own burrito creation!<br />

</tbody></table><b>Williams- Sonoma Pressed Breakfast Burrito Recipe (my modifications are in red)</b><br />
<br />
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely diced <span style="color: red;">(i did not use this, kiddos would not like the hot)</span><br />
1 garlic clove, minced<br />
1 Tbs fresh lime juice<br />
1/2 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste <span style="color: red;">(i used regular salt, it tasted just as good i'm sure)</span><br />
2 large avocados, halved, pitted and peeled<br />
2 Tbs. chopped fresh cilantro<br />
3 Tbs. olive oil, push more for brushing<br />
1 each read and green bell pepper and diced<br />
3/4 lb. potatoes, boiled until tender, diced <span style="color: red;">(i used fozen diced taters- i'm a busy mom okay)</span><br />
freshly ground pepper to taste<br />
6 thick-cut bacon slices<br />
12 eggs <br />
6 large burrito-style flour tortillas<br />
6 oz. cheddar cheese, grated<br />
Sour cream and salsa for serving<br />
<br />
Put jalapeno <span style="color: red;">(if you decide to add it, i omitted it)</span>, garlic, lime juice and 1/2 tsp salt in a small bowl; smash with pestle or fork. Add avocados and cilantro; mix and mash.<br />
<br />
In large nonstick fry pan over med. heat warm 2 tsp oil. Cook bell peppers for about 5 mins. Add potatoes; cook 3-5 mins more. Season with salt and pepper.<br />
<br />
In a bowl, beat eggs, salt and pepper. In nonstick fry pan over med- high heat, warm 1 tbs of oil . Cook eggs until curd form, 2-3 minutes.<br />
Recipe calls for top each tortilla with large spoon full of eggs, etc. <span style="color: red;">(but i buttered pan and placed tortilla in pan) </span>adding eggs, pepper mixture, <span style="color: red;">avocado mixture,</span> 1 crumbled bacon slice and 1 oz. of cheese. Now from here WS requires using the panini press. <span style="color: red;"> I, however (minus the panini press) then folded burrito and brushed lightly with butter and fried in the pan on each side for about 2 minutes each side.</span> Cook remaining burritos same way and serve with salsa on the side. BTW, Williams-Sonoma has AMAZING <a href="http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/taqueria-salsa/?pkey=e%7Csalsa%7C1%7Cbest%7C0%7C1%7C24%7C%7C1&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH%7C%7CNoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-Feature_Recipe_Rule%7CTop_Marketing_free_ship_billboard-_-">taqueria salsa</a> for $10 but believe me it is worth every penny!Everything Sweethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10754638305992699748noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-204675396367988236.post-40376130693213885162011-07-13T10:24:00.000-07:002011-07-13T10:24:30.885-07:00The Sweet Escape of the Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you are like us, you have been hibernating in the house this summer due to almost unbearable Oklahoma temperatures. This, however, can have some unpleasant side effects on the parental unit such as siblings fights and the constant repetition of "Mommy, I'm bored", even though there is a plethora of toys, games, books, and electronic gadgets to keep them busy from now until eternity.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sometimes, you just have to get out of the house and make the great escape. Well, we have just the place for you! Recently we <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">sweet</span></i> sisters happened upon a <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: magenta;">sweet </span></i>little spot that allowed the little people to create a mess and keep our houses clean at the same time. That place is<a href="http://www.unpluggits.com/index.html"> Unpluggits </a>Playstudio! Unpluggits, <b>located at <span style="color: #3333ff;"></span>575 Enterprise Dive in Edmond,</b> offers painting, crafts, take-home projects and an enourmous indoor play ground that includes a <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 22px;">pirate ship, climb in tree, air hockey, foosball and sand & train tables. It gives </span>children <b>18 months and up</b> hours of entertainment through creative play. It also has a dress up area which was a HUGE hit with our girls! OH and did i mention you can bring your own lunch or feed the crew at their organic snack bar. That was a win for the granola crunchy, health-nut sister of mine (*wink*). </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nFywEYd9dWg/Tht7FMR6btI/AAAAAAAAAJI/mEL99hi3hk8/s1600/________446540.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nFywEYd9dWg/Tht7FMR6btI/AAAAAAAAAJI/mEL99hi3hk8/s1600/________446540.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For only 7 bucks per child you get all-day admission to the indoor playground and the paint'n play station. There is additional costs for the other things that they offer and you can click on the link above to their website for more details on all they have to offer. Trust me it will be the best 7 dollars you'll spend all summer. The kids had a blast and we kept our sanity!</span><br />

This week's pick is <a href="http://www.sarasarabakery.com/">Sara Sara Cupcakes</a>. These <span style="color: magenta;"><i>sweet</i></span><b style="color: magenta;"><i> </i></b>treats are located at <b>7 NW 9th Street</b> in a cute little two store house with a welcoming bright pink door and nestled in a nook in downtown Oklahoma City. My sister and I visited Sara Sara Cupcakes recently and we fell in love with not only the goodies but also the hospitality of the staff. They were super sweet!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-A3HyFLL1awM/ThtcIw3DlZI/AAAAAAAAAI8/ZtZTm_BN47Q/s1600/220761_10150177804145432_76039625431_7206264_8380734_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-A3HyFLL1awM/ThtcIw3DlZI/AAAAAAAAAI8/ZtZTm_BN47Q/s320/220761_10150177804145432_76039625431_7206264_8380734_o.jpg" width="191" /></a></div><br />
<br />
They have a large variety of cupcakes ranging from strawberry shortcake to pineapple upside down cake. One cupcake cost $3.25 which is pretty competitive with other cupcakeries in the metro. However, what we appreciate about Sara Sara cupcakes is that you acutally get an ample sized cupcake for your money. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v8mwe2RjkmA/ThtfcIgc6FI/AAAAAAAAAJE/UVvT7M1zcqY/s1600/219311_10150177802405432_76039625431_7206257_2929399_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v8mwe2RjkmA/ThtfcIgc6FI/AAAAAAAAAJE/UVvT7M1zcqY/s320/219311_10150177802405432_76039625431_7206257_2929399_o.jpg" width="246" /></a></div><br />
I had the pleasure of indulging in the Sir Elton John, which is <span class="fbPhotoCaptionText">a cherry cheesecake cupcake sprinkled with graham crackers and topped with <i style="color: magenta;">sweet </i>cherries. The cupcake actually tasted like a slice of cherry cheesecake, very smooth, moist and oh so delicious! They also feature a milk bar that, in my opinion, has the coldest, creamiest milk on the planet! It is that good! They offer white milk and chocolate or starwberry. One should definitely make a special trip downtown to Sara Sara Cupcakes and try one of their delectable treats. </span><br />

We had such a blast putting together a Mario Bros. themed birthday party for a special little boy. Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, koobas, stars, toads, gold coins, mushrooms, power ups....you name it, we included it. And oh my goodness did this drive the little boys crazy, they LOVED it! We had cupcakes, pizza (Luigi's favorite), hanging stars and of course an </span><b><i style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="color: magenta;">Everything Sweet</span> </i></b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">candy bar which totally won the kids over.

So for the Fancy Nancy in your life why not throw her a fabulous soiree (that's a fancy word for party)! We decided to go with a afternoon tea party with all the fancy trimmings: tea sandwiches, tea cakes, Peach tea, cupcakes, petits fours and confections of all kinds.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

A Pink and Purple Baby Shower<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It is always such a joy to celebrate the expected arrival of a little one making baby showers one of my favorite type of events to do. I was thrilled at the opportunity to come up with ideas for this particular shower for Baby Anorah. We chose a pink and purple color palette with a flower garden theme. It turned out so pretty! I love how the combination of colors worked so well together giving it such bold and bright look. Also, the diaper cake and letter "A" were a beautifully added touch. Most of all, the radiant mommy-to-be was extremely pleased....mission accomplished! </div><br />

</a></div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Planning parties and events allows me the opportunity to meet some really interesting and extraordinary people. John Prentice, a talented young thespian whom I had the pleasure of planning a birthday party for, fits the description as one of those extraordinary people. His sweet mom, Katy wanted to give him a 23rd birthday party that embodied his unique personality and his love for theater. So we decided to go with an Oscar themed birthday party to honor the soon to be star!</div><br />

So to give him a proper first birthday bash, we decided to go with a Safari theme for this little cutie. There were lions, and tigers and bears- OH MY!!! </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We chose snacks that were suited for toddlers and preschoolers, however, you know that I had to add an <b style="color: magenta;"><i>Everything Sweet</i></b> flare right? Right! So instead of just having goldfish crackers and pretzels, I came up with a trail mix of yummies that toddlers liked and called it "Critter Crunch". Needless to say, it was a huge hit with the kiddos!!! </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Coming up with ideas and decorating for this party was such fun!

Victoria Kann's book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060776390/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1XVYSYV68CESVC4MK86R&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846">Pinkalicious</a> is nothing short of adorable! It's a story of a little girl who loved pink, especially pink cupcakes. However, when she ate too many of them she turned pink and came down with a horrible case of pinkititis! This book is a perfect fit for any little girl who loves <span style="color: magenta;">PINK</span>! So to honor the pink princess why not throw her a perfectly pinkatastic Pinkalicious Birthday party inspired by the book itself? We did just that! We decided to do it up pink style for our princess' 3rd birthday. Can you guess what color the party theme was? Pink cupcakes, pink balloons, pink cookies, pink candy, pink food, pink drink, OH MY!

In fact we watched the previews, with great anticipation, months before the actual movie premiered. So of course when she turned four this year, it was no question what kind of birthday party she wanted. The Princess and the Frog party theme was her first choice.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now, although I love the movie and have watched it over and over countless times with my daughter, I am not a huge fan of character themed parties. So I had to put an<b> <i style="color: magenta;">everything sweet</i></b> flair and spin on it to make it more personalized for my daughter, making her the princess that she is. It turned out great and was so much fun!! Here are a few pictures and ideas we used to create the perfect royal ball for Princess Jaia's 4th birthday party based on The Princess and the Frog. </div><br />
