Hi guys! Life is just crazy lately. I’m trying to double down on my blog this year as last year I kind of slacked a little bit on the new recipes. Life is busy working two jobs and keeping up with the demands of a 3 year old. When I say 3 year old, I mean a very WILD and energetic 3 year old. Are they all like this? I need a full-time nanny, chef, maid, and someone to write all my blog posts for me. Isn’t that the American dream?
I just had the most amazing birthday weekend. I celebrated for 5 days straight – it was kind of ridiculous, but in a good way. Thursday was my actual birthday and I did all the things – opened gifts, went to a new Thai restaurant to eat that I’ve never been to before, and ate my favorite rum cake.
The weekend was full of fun, as well. Mr. Wishes surprised me and booked two nights at a hotel that we love on Canandaigua Lake. It’s only about 50 from our home so it’s just far enough to feel like we are getting away without having to travel too far. Anyone with a birthday in January knows there isn’t a whole lot to do in winter, so you make the best of it!
Yet another surprise was waiting for me. Mr. Wishes booked me a day at the Inns of Aurora Spa in Auburn, New York. This place was absolutely luxurious! It is situated right on Cayuga Lake and has beautiful views, especially when you’re using their outdoor plunge pool and hot tub. I had never actually spent any time on Cayuga Lake so it was nice to see a new part of the Finger Lakes region.
Anyway, I have never done a spa day in my life and enjoyed the peace and quiet. It was nice to have time to just be alone in my thoughts without anyone demanding my attention or needing something constantly. This day was exactly what I needed! For a non-slow cooker version, try my 20 Minute Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup.
You all know me and know how much I love my Mexican food. I especially enchiladas, so I figured why not make a soup version of it? It’s the thick of winter here and nothing beats a hot bowl of cheesy soup. It is 7 degrees here right now so I think I might go hit up what’s left in my fridge!
