Holiday Chex Mix

I like to make this for Christmas. However, you can make this for any holiday just alternate with seasonal M&M's for Easter, 4th of July etc...

Ingredients:

1 box (14oz) Rice Chex or Corn Chex Cereal

16 oz Plain Peanuts

1 bag (15oz) Pretzels - can be any kind that you prefer

20 oz of White Almond Bark

1-2 (12oz each) bags of M&Ms

Mix cereal, peanuts and pretzels together. Melt bark according to package. Mix in with cereal mixture. After it has hardened mix in M&Ms and enjoy. It is very simple.

Next time I would like to add popcorn to this mix to see how it would turn it out.

Christmas Lights

One of my favorite things during the holiday season is driving around and looking at all of the Christmas lights. Once you put Chrismas lights on your own house you realize how much work people put into this fun hobby each year.
This past weekend we drove by one of the best houses that I have ever seen in person. We were not able to get a very good picture or video of it ourselves. There were so many cars and people surrounding the house that we had to actually wait in our cars in line to see it. I attached the video so you all can see it for yourselves.

I posted a couple different videos, there are multiple different songs that play. They each have their "own show."
The best part was the neighbor next door. What a sport!

CrockPot Chili Roast

I love putting anything in the CrockPot and coming home and having dinner ready for us. This is one that can cook all day and be ready and waiting for you when you get home.

Ingredients:
3-4 pound Chuck Roast
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Jalapeno (to taste)
1 Onion
6 Tomatillos
1(4oz.) can Green Chiles
1(14.5 oz) can diced Tomatoes
2 Garlic Cloves
1tsp chili powder
Salt (to taste)

Chop the green pepper, jalapeno, onion, and tomatillos. I took most of the seeds out of the Jalapeno, I am not a big fan of spicy things. So you can add the whole thing or omit the seeds. Add to CrockPot. Mix together the rest of the ingredients and throw in the roast.
Set on high and leave the house for at least a good seven hours.

After cooking all day the meat just shreds itself. I served mine with a tortilla and shredded cheese. However, you can eat as is or add toppings like guacamole, sour cream, tortilla chips, etc...
