Sauce with a kick

Sauce with a kick to it: I Love it A lot!

2 TbL Spoons of Evoo( Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 1/2 pounds of ground sirloin
1  large onion Finely Chopped
1 Red Bell pepper Finely Chopped
3 Garlic Cloves Finely Chopped
1 Chipotle Pepper in adobo, Chopped plus 1 TbL. Spoon Sauce ( In can) In spanish section at the store.
2 TBL. Spoons brown Sugar
2 TBL. Spoons Worcestershire Sauce
1 Cup Tomato Sauce
Salt and pepper to taste if you want!

In large skillet Med-High heat 2 turns of pan of Evoo, about 2 TBL. spoons. Once hot add the ground sirloin and cook about 4-5 minutes, breaking up as it browns.

Add the onion, Red Pepper, Garlic,Chipotle Pepper and sauce. Stirring ever now and then, for 3-4 minutes, until onions and peppers get a little tender.

In small bowl, combine brown sugar, worcestershire sauce and Tomato sauce. Add the sauce to the skillet and season everything with a little salt and pepper. Bring up to a bubble and simmer until nice and thick, about 3-4 minutes.

Cook pasta- You only need about 1/2 -3/4 of bag but I leave 1/2-3/4  plain so 2 of my kids can put cheese on it! Oh, are they missing out! 

Side Note: I use a little electric chopper to get a fine chop.

Another note: This is a SIMPLE RECIPE!!!! Good-Luck! April

Encore

First we got our homework out of the way.
Then we had some fun!
Encore has this awesome remote control. Everything is just a button away. Or a phone call away. Except for a curling Iron-Huh Aubrey:) My kid's love on T.V how they show Steve Wynn  sitting on top of Encore. So, they were excited to stay here.
Andrew Jordin
Aubrey and Alaina(Yes- Aubrey came!)
Today on Valentine's day she told us she love's life! (We went to encore on Monday night) 
At the mall Sporting her new Stroller and Kitty Holly. We got a lot of looks! She even strolled it through Encore! Ugh! She is funny!
Every time I take them to build-A-Bear I think never again but here we are again. They almost own everything in the store! Happy kids makes a Happy Mom!
Alaina and Holly
Aubrey and Elizabeth
Andrew and Willy Mayes
We had fun! Comfy and more memories. 
It's a BIG WORLD out there! Have a good week and if anyone knows of a good High School here in TOWN let me know. Thanks April

A Family date

We went to Hugo's Cellar this week. Frank did this same thing a few months ago and I never down loaded his cell phone pictures! Here is pictures of this week.
The Lovely couple:)
Frank thought this would be fun for the kids! So, this is our 2nd time we have done this.... The kids get a room and a movie while we go have dinner. It works out to be fun for everyone. Oh, and they get food too!
They love it and for this I give Frank all the credit! On the way home we played a fun game. Cash Cab- it is so fun and Frank of course thought of it.
Happy kids.....
The life huh? To bad your not a kid 4-ever!
I love the table side salad. Hands down the best around. I do get everything on it too!
I love the duck. It is done table side as well. The food is just really good and yummy.

This is the last thing we ate and I know you all would love this place!
Stuffed Big Shrimp. 

It's all really good. Last time we had the Hot Rock- which is also good! We LOVE food if you couldn't tell! Love it! After we went and got the munchkins and home we went! Cash Cab game all the way home! Frank is a fun game player. He also had an auction for them this week. Hammer and all...do I hear 20, 40, 60, 80 a 100 etc. Going once, going twice, sold for $$$ The real deal! Fun times we will remember.
