Memorial Day FUN! Operation Honor Our Heroes, Lake & (Man vs Food) BBQ!

I wanted to post this earlier this week but better late than never :) That seems to be my blog post motto. 

We visited Operation Honor Our Heroes in downtown Austin where 7,000 flags were set up to honor our fallen heroes from Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation New Dawn. 

This was a great way to give the boys a perspective and explain why we celebrate Memorial Day. 

If you want to see more information about this organization please visit http://www.honorheroes.org 

Then fun with friends 

And finally a nice BBQ with a Man vs Food challenge 

The boys watched the episode where Adam was challenged to eat a Juicy Lucy stuffed burger. This was our take on that burger and the results....1 MAN 2 FOOD

CHEESY!!!!

My hubby's burger

1lb meat, jalapeno jack cheese, fresh jalapeno, and shredded jalapeno jack cheese. He seasoned the meat and left some of the meat to the side for the top of the burger

Made it look like a flat bowl (edges are higher to hold the stuffing)

Loaded three slices of jalapeno jack cheese

One fresh jalapeno diced

Topped with shredded jalapeno jack cheese. Why shredded? Well it was a spur of the moment thing because when I went grocery shopping I didn't know if he wanted sliced or shredded so I got both. He decided to use both. 

Flatten the extra meat that was set aside

Pinched the edges tightly 

20 mins on each side on the grill (40 mins total) They are huge and this is for Medium Well

For the boys (no jalapenos)

1lb of meat and colby jack cheese

Same cooking time

Ooooohhhh Aaaaahhhh

buttered and seasoned corn

Yummmmy!

Bacon Wrapped STUFFED jalapenos.....{{drooling}} These are awesome!

Chocolate Chip Cake in 3 minutes! YUMMMMMM

Ever just crave a piece of chocolate cake and you NEED IT NOW? No!? Really!? Well if you ever do, this is the best 3 minute cake.....YUP in 3 minutes you have a piece of chocolate chip cake!

I've made this before and thought it would be fun for my boys to try. They loved it!
What you need: Microwave safe mug Microwave
4 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons cocoa 4 tablespoons flour 1 egg 3 tablespoons oil 3 tablespoons milk 2-4 tablespoons chocolate chips Small splash of vanilla extract

I used Almond milk and it worked just fine

Mix all the dry ingredients (except the chocolate chips) in the mug, mix well. 

Add the egg and mix well. 

Add the milk and oil and mix again. 

Add chocolate chips and vanilla and mix some more. 

Microwave for three minutes on HIGH. 

They couldn't wait

The cake will rise above the top of the mug but this is normal. 

So excited to see the cake rise

You can tip it out onto a place or eat it straight from the mug. Add icing and/or a scoop of ice cream as an extra treat!
