Good morning!
This weekend flew by, it was a fun one! On Friday I had my sister-in-law and brother-in-law over and made this chicken with 40 cloves of garlic. Yes I said 40 cloves ;) the cloves are whole so it gives the broth a nice garlicky taste, but not overpowering at all. My only complaint was that the recipe called for the chicken with the skin on and I felt that it left the broth too oily, so next time I'm going to try it with skinless chicken.
Saturday we met up again with my sister and brother-in-law, this time at Wal-Mart to buy the kids a bike. They've been wanting to buy the kids bikes for a while now, and we finally met up. My babies looked so cute on their new bikes with their helmets on. Now we just need to practice riding them so that they get the hang of it.
Sunday we headed to my mom's for a barbecue. There was so much good food! Food always tastes extra yummy when it's grilled (or fried) and we had her famous carrot cake for dessert. It was nice to eat, talk and of course have some wine.
Speaking of wine, I want to share with you all a little project I've been working on. As you all know about once a month I do a Wino Wednesday post where I talk about a wine that I've tried, liked and then I write what the winemakers notes are on the wine and what I paired it with that day. I am by no means a wine connoisseur, but I enjoy trying new wines and I think that some people are intimidated with wine because they're not sure which are good, or which to pick so this will help other's out.
I've been getting a lot of positive feedback from my posts and have even had a couple people ask to join in on the fun, so I thought why not create a linkup and open it up to all of my wino bloggers?! I think it would be pretty awesome for all of us wine lovers to link up once a month and get recommendations from other wino's and see what wine they have enjoyed. It will be like a virtual wine tasting!!
The linkup will go live every first Wednesday of the month, so this gives you all a little over a week to pick out a wine that you love and want to review. It can be on any wine you like: red, white, rose, champagne, procecco - anything! You can even share a yummy cocktail recipe that has wine in it. Again, this is for fun and it doesn't matter how much you know about wine!
I would love for you all to join me next Wednesday, May 7th!
Have a great day!
