Happy Easter and Chocolate Nest Cookies

Happy Easter!

Liam and I whipped up a batch of spring cookies for the occasion. To sum it all up, there was chocolate everywhere. They were a bit messy to eat but tasted delicious and great for a once a year treat!





 
Chocolate Nest Cookies (from Kraft Foods “What’s Cooking” magazine)

• 1 pkg. Semi-Sweet Chocolate (8 squares)
• 2 cups chow mein noodles
• mini eggs

1. Microwave chocolate in large microwavable bowl on medium 2 to 3 minutes or until almost melted; stir until completely melted. Stir in noodles.
2. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of noodle mixture onto a parchment or waxed paper covered baking sheet. Indent centers slightly to resemble nests. Fill with mini eggs.
3. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.

Even Ranchers Need A Holiday!

It can be tough leaving the ranch and all the livestock behind for any length of time, and tougher for us as we don't have any hired help to look after things while we are away. Luckily we have some fantastic neighbors who happily took over our chore duties.

At the end of January we ventured to Los Cabos in Mexico for a warm weather vacation, not that we needed a break from our above normal winter we have been having. Actually, the week before we left the temps dipped into the -30's plus windchill, so we were happy to see beaches and sunshine!

The famous arch at Cabo San Lucas. These rocks mark the tip of the Baja Peninsula and are where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean.

Scott and myself on the beach at Cabo San Lucas. This beach is only accessible by water, our boat driver dropped us off at the shore and we jumped off....thankfully he came and picked us up in an hour!

The Cabo Wabo Cantina owned by Sammy Hager formerly of Van Halen! A good place to sip a few Coronas on a hot day!

Our resort from the beach!

The only livestock we seen on the entire trip!

It was great to go but it was also great to get back home to the ranch with a refreshed and relaxed mind and thankful of all the opportunities we have!
