My Favorite Meal!

Alright so I was talking to a friend at work today and he asked me if my parents where going to bring Brats with them the next time they come to visit. I said probably not but beer brats were one of my favorite things. Long story short he wanted to know how to make them.

It is really easy!

Bring the beer of your choice to a boil (you only need about 2 bottles per one package of brats)  and carefully place brats in the pot. Be careful the beer can boil over and make a HUGE mess (I learned this the hard way). Once the brats are fully cooked add them to a frying pan and cook for as long as you like. We like them almost burnt! But them in a bun and add your favorite condiments then ENJOY!!

This is how we like them! YUMMY!

Good for You!

So my neighbor and I have decided to start a little garden in front of our house we are very excited; I even started weeding the area to get it ready. This inspired me to post a healthy recipe. I made a salad the other night that was very very good!

Grilled Chicken and Spinach with Orange dressing:

1 (10 oz.) pkg. of pre-washed fresh spinach
1/2 c. orange juice
3 Tbsp. brown sugar
3 Tbsp. Vinegar
1 tsp. grated orange peel
1/8 tsp. salt
2 medium shallots
4 boneless chicken breast halves, pounded
1/4 tsp. black and red pepper
6 slices of orange, halved
1 1/2 c. strawberries


Chicken:
Heat grill
Sprinkle one side with pepper
Put pepper side down on grill
Cook 5 min.
Lightly sprinkle with pepper again
Slice chicken crosswise
Place on spinach and add strawberries

Dressing:
Combine orange juice, brown sugar, vinegar, orange peel, salt, and shallots
Mix well in a sauce pan and bring to a boil
Pour over spinach immediately

This is perfect as a summer dinner! It is very easy, yummy, and healthy...ENJOY!!

App of the Week

Hey everyone there is an app that I discovered probably a year or so ago that I totally love! It is called Pepperplate. This app is your one stop shop for all your cooking needs. You can add your own recipes or import them from your favorite food website. Having a place to store all your yummy recipes is great but what about when its time to plan your meals and go grocery shopping? This is the app for that as well! This is what it look like on my iPhone:

One of my favorite things about this app is the fact that is this also online!! This makes it very easy for me to add my recipes and create my meal plans and shopping lists even if I don't have my phone and iPad!

pepperplate.com

Check out the website! Here is the best part about this App. it's totally FREE!! Thats right its free; I have done a lot of searching and this is only recipe app that I have that does everything in one place for free!!

If anyone has any other apps that you think I should take a look at or that you want to share with everyone feel free to post your comments! I love discovering new apps!!

Opportunities!

There are a lot of great things that are going on here in the Ehle house! I became an Uppercase Living Independent Demonstrator! It has been a very fun experience so far, and I am enjoying every second of it. I am almost done with my first year of school which is exciting. There is a lot to do all the time and I am only becoming more and more busy (just the way I like it). Scott is getting ready to start school himself and he can't wait. We spent some time with our neighbor tonight and she is great. She has asked Scott to join a ministry opportunity at Asbury University! This is very exciting for him he has already met some people that he will be going to school. I tell you all more about his the opportunity if he gets to participate (it has to be approved because he is a student).

I will be posting some photos of some of awesome stuff that you can get from Uppercase Living! Let me know if you would like a catalog or host an online party. Feel free to also follow me on Facebook it is a great way to contact me with questions or if you need anything!
