DeBordieu

Cole and I just returned from a weekend of R&R at the beach. His parents joined us, and it was fun showing them the beach I grew up visiting. I was especially excited that Cole got 2 good nights of sleep. He deserved them! These EARLY mornings are EARLY, and sometimes I wonder if he will ever be able to make up the sleep deficit he has already accrued. We were thankful he had the weekend off, and I look forward to many more these next year! 

..The views of the sunset driving in were incredible! 

Psalm 19:1 

"The heavens declare the glory of God; 

the skies proclaim the work of his hands."

Our meals were yummy and fun to make, but none topped our dinner at the Beach Club. What a treat! Here are some pictures with the recipes attached.

Recently, Cole and I enjoyed a weekend at DeBordieu. He was off from his normal duties and call at the hospital for 2 days in a row, which is unheard of these days, and we took this opportunity to pack our bags and head to the beach. This post is a little past due, but I think the photos and food are worth it!

Sunset Golf Cart Ride

One of the best beaches in the world

We bundled up to walk on the beach, read and relaxed, studied a little, and cooked some yummy food. 

Above: Crock-pot BBQ Chicken, Sweet Potato Cornbread, Sauteed Green Beans, and Trader Joe's Coastal Merlot. The chicken was so easy! All I did was place a few boneless and skinless chicken breasts in a crock-pot with BBQ sauce, a little brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of bourbon and cooked it on high for about 5 hours. Easy and delish!

Above: Bart's Black Bean Soup with Rotisserie Chicken with Guac with an Orange Twist (inspired from this recipe). One word to describe this soup is QUICK... it is ready in minutes. I add the chicken to make it more filling for my hungry husband. The guac was so good! We got on a guac kick and ended up making it 3 nights in a row! It is a nice twist to our normal guac concoction.

Enjoy!!
