I wanted to share a recipe that I made the other day. I found this Eclair Cake recipe on FoodNetwork.com. It is so delicious and easy to make!

Turkey Wraps

We found these awesome tortillas at Target, so for lunch today I made turkey wraps.







I just had to take a picture of them since they turned out to be so pretty (and delicious). I just used the spinach and herb tortillas and then spread some onion and chive flavored cream cheese over that and added shaved turkey breast, sliced Monterrey-jack cheese, tomato and lettuce, and wrapped it all up! It goes perfect with a nice little fruit salad too!
Oh yeah, an update from the last post: we went back to the land the next day, but there was no sign of the snake so I couldn't get a picture, and thank goodness we haven't seen any alive out there since then!
