Our Fall Line Up

So with Fall finally here our tv watching is in full force.
While most think couples should spend less time watching tv, we enjoy our time together, we bond cause its something we enjoy and look forward to that time cuddling and talking about our predictions

So here is a look at our TV on a weekly basis

Sunday
We loved this show the first season, but now they are trying to steal some Dementors from Harry Potter. I will give it the rest of the season before we make our final decision. Hopefully it will turn around.

Tuesday
NCIS was the result of one snowed in weekend with netflix. We watched all the seasons available and then we were hooked!

New Girl: If you don't watch it you should. So funny! I love Zoe!

Glee: I love Glee and the concept but they are running out of ideas. I don't know how many seasons after this it will last!

Wednesday

Modern Family: What is not to love about this family! Gloria is preggo, Lilly is just as adorable and Clair cracks me up. This is one fam I would love to be a part of!

Psych: Another result of netflix. If you love any sort of law and order or criminal show, combine it with a comedy and you will get psych!


Thursday

So this show is only 2 episodes in but its pretty good. It kind of reminds me of Lost!

The most awesome nerd show you will ever see. I love Sheldon! Bazinga!

So these are "our shows". I recommend them all. Do you have any shows you watch with your significant other ??

Bye Bye Old Blue..

So my trust old car final bit the dust!
2004 Blue Hyundai Elantra
My parents bought me this car brand new when I got my license so I was very blessed to have this car last me all through college and into my post grad life.

But last week I posted for yall this picture

And from there old blue went down hill
We took her to the shop and it was just the oxygen sensor.. easy fix right
well not if when you open the hood it no longer shuts.. that's right the latch broke to shut my hood.
Soo the cost to fix it outweighed the value of the car so off to the dealerships we went.

Luckily I knew I was going to have to get a new car soon so I had been looking and really wanted a jeep.
Andrew of course told me to keep my options open so I looked at the following cars:
Chevy Equinox
Ford Escape
Mazda CX-7

but I came home with this
2013 Jeep Patriot :)
I am in love :)

Sorry I'm not sorry....

So being that it is officially October I have a confession
and I will go ahead and start by saying Sorry I'm not sorry but.

I hate pumpkin flavored everything!!!


So no I am serious, no pumpkin lattes, or pumpkin muffins or pumpkin pies!
I don't know what it is about it but I just don't enjoy it.
However there are many other things I like about pumpkins...
roasting seeds, carving, pumpkin patches
but nope there is no pumpkin in the food here at the Tucker House
But no worries.. wait till Christmas and I will be all over Starbucks when their White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha's return :)

Stuffed Peppers for two :)

Being newlyweds its hard to find alot of recipes that are for two.
However lately I have seen lots of recipes about stuffed peppers and it sounded like a great way to make a low calorie vegetarian meal for two :)

Sorry I didn't get the pretty presentation plates we ate. We were so hungry that we chowed down then I thought dang it--- no pretty blog pic!

Stuffed Peppers --adapted
**If you want to make this a full meal, add some ground Italian sausage to the mixture and bake**
2 red bell pepper ( any color will due but I picked these cause they made the meal pretty)
1/4 cup of feta cheese
1 clove minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/8 teaspoon of pepper
1/4 teaspoon of olive oil
1.5 cups of a dark leafy green ( I used spinach but you could use arugula, or a 50/50 salad mix)
1/2 cup of orzo
Tomato sauce of your choice ( i used a basic tomato and basil sauce)

1. Cook the orzo until done
2. Add feta cheese, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil and your greens to the orzo
3. Cut peppers in half and clean out the insides then add your mixture evenly to each pepper-- top with a little extra feta
4. Cover with foil and bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes
5. Plate about 1/4 of a cup of sauce at the bottom of your bowl, place pepper on top and enjoy!
