Perfect Summer Cole Slaw

I can't believe it's August 1st! I must say since we have moved home life has been busy and crazy, but it is so nice to be home. Needless to say I have neglected my blog.

I have been wanting to share this recipe for some time now. My aunt made it for us when she was in town and I find myself craving it all the time! It's so tasty and very refreshing. It's the perfect side dish for a summer cookout.



Ingredients:
1 head cabbage (green) small to medium, diced
1 cucumber, diced
1 red, yellow, and orange bell peppers
5 green onions
3 grated carrots
3/4 finely chopped dry roasted peanuts

Dressing:
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/3 cup canola oil
3 cloves garlic
1 cup freshly grated cilantro
2 T sugar
3 T soy sauce

Mix all salad ingredients together. Mix dressing separately and put on right before serving. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Like a Man

On Saturday we had Doug's first doc appointment and he did so good. AK kept on saying "he took his shot like a man." Haha! He did not cry at all and the doc said he is very healthy. He has gained two pounds since we got him so he is now up to 4 pounds. He is a growing boy! We are such proud parents.

How can you say "no" to this face?!

Meet Doug

We picked up our sweet angel on May 30th and were instantly in L.O.V.E with the little guy. He is so sweet, cuddly and makes us smile. We are learning a lot but so glad we decided to get a pup. He is just perfect.

Home. Sweet. Home

I was the first one to arrive at our condo and this is what I saw.
Ak's sweet cousin made us this sign. It brought tears to my eyes! We are officially home!

We have been here almost two weeks and it's flying by. It's great being home with friends and family. We are loving it.

Plan B

I just finished this book:

and it was amazing.

I ordered it last Tuesday, got it Friday and was finished with it last night. I couldn't put it down.

I can tell you in person about this book, but it's hard for me to write about it. My description will not give it justice, so all I'm going to say is I highly recommend you picking this up. I thought by 28 I would own a home with a backyard, have at least one child, a dog (we are working on that), but you get my point. I thought I had it all figured and planned out, but it hasn't turned out that way. So, Plan B comes into action. This book doesn't exactly tell you how to deal with Plan B situations but to trust God and be patient. He (God) will finish what he has started. Pete Wilson writes in a way that is easy to understand and he is also very easy to relate too.

Here is a good review that you should check out.
