The Stucki Family

Happy 2nd Anniversary

Monday, July 30th, 2007 | All Posts | 6 Comments

Today is Brian and my 2nd anniversary. It has been two great years. I have heard many people say their first few years of marriage were really hard, but Brian and I sure have enjoyed our first couple years. It is true when they say opposites attract. We share a lot of the same interests, but when it comes to personality, we couter-balance each other.

Here are a few pictures of our fun times as a married couple:

Stucki Noodles

Upon Ashlee’s request, the recipe for Stucki noodles is listed below. My mom gave me this recipe after Brian decided it was his favorite homemade meal. It is better than any pasta I have had at any of the restaurants.

12 oz pkg. rotini pasta cooked according to pkg.
2 Tbsp. butter
2 skinless/boneless chicken breast halves, sliced 1/2 inch thick
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 bunch green onions, chopped
2 Tbsp. Creole seasoning (The best creole is at Wal-Mart)
1/2 tsp ground pepper
1/2 tsp red pepper (cayenne)
8 oz. heavy cream
1 green bell pepper, julienned
1 red bell pepper, julienned
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, fresh grated

Preperation: Cook pasta according to pkg.
Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. add
chicken; cook, stirring frequently until browned about 6-8 min.
Add garlic, onions, Creole seasoning and black and red pepper.
Add bell peppers, stir to combine. (I leave these out and let people
put them in after it is cooked so they are more crisp. Either way is good)
Cover and cook for 5 min. Uncover, stir in cream and let simmer another 2 min.
Remove sauce from heat. Stir in cooked pasta.
Add Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Hope whoever tries it loves it.

One of these things is not like the others…

I was doing some scrapbooking of some pictures for Brian and my anniversary coming up and found the picture below. The first thing that popped in my head was the game on Sesame Street, which goes:

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn’t belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

So who can tell beside the white dress what doesn’t belong?
(And I was even wearing 4 inch heels)

Oceanside Fun

This last week our family was able to enjoy the cooler weather of Oceanside. It was nice to get away from the heat and have the ocean right outside of our window. Cole did really well for only being 5 weeks old and having us throw him off his schedule. I really enjoyed it. Here are a few pictures from the trip:

Learning so Fast

We put Cole under the floor mobile the other day and he was already playing with all the things above him. It was more of a waving his arms around and hitting the animals, but it was entertaining. He did at one point, look and stare at himself in the little attached mirror. Here are a few pictures:
