Our first camping trip in Truckee

Since moving to Truckee Christian and I have missed sharing a part of our lives with our awesome family. I want to create this blog as a way to stay in touch and let you in our special times here in Truckee!






I'll start with our first camping trip! After work a couple Friday's ago Christian decided that we should go camping. We packed up our sleeping bags, our marshmallow's, our dogs and we were off! We got to Stampede lake right before sunset and started a fire. We roasted hot dogs and ate potato salad for dinner. For desert we roasted marshmallow's and made some smokin' smores! YUM YUM! We stayed up really late for us....midnight...seeing who could scare each other the most with ghost stories (I think I won!) We played cards and talked about all the fun adventures to come! We LOVE being married, it's like having a best friend for life!

In the morning we woke up early for coffee time but I had a harder time getting up because of the late night!

So Christian sent Dixie after me.....

I made Monkey French Toast for breakfast! It's really good and really easy!
1 small ripe banana, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon honey, plus some for drizzling
1/4 cup peanut butter
4 slices whole grain bread
2 eggs, beaten
A splash of milk
1 tablespoon butter

Preparation
Mash the banana with a fork and combine with honey and peanut butter.
Make two sandwiches with bread and monkey spread. Dip sandwiches in eggs beaten with milk.Cook on a griddle or skillet in warm butter until golden on each side and cooked through. Drizzle with a little extra honey and serve!
