Mr. Roboto

Meet Mr. Roboto, or so he will become in November. Even though he is sitting in his sister's pink chair, this kid is ALL {boy}!!! He will be celebrating his 3rd birthday (where does the time go??) at the end of November and the party wheels are already spinning. I have decided his theme will be ROBOTS! I thought it was a little more original than some other themes, but after some internet searching, I am clearly not the only one with this idea. Oh well, it just provides more inspiration for me! Here are some of the amazing things I am finding!

1. Super cute robot cupcakes - Hello Naomi found

via Hostess with the Mostess

2. Mr. Roboto would go ga-ga over this cake at Cookie Magazine

3. More robot cuteness from Hostess with the Mostess

4. Kara has some great decor ideas, including

serving drinks from a gas can!

5. Cute favor idea from My Many Colored Days.

I think I will make them to hold cutlery.

6. Ordered these French Bull plates from Oliebollen!♥

7. Friendly robot invites from mrbeancakes on Etsy
8. Love the wording on Wendolonia's son's invites
9. Geared up robot invitations from lukecommasara also on Etsy

10. Birthday In A Box gives great robot party ideas, like

this TiN CAn RoBOt centerpiece

11. Hey, we've seen this before....See #3 above!

12. 3-D Robot Centerpiece from Meri Meri
13. Kara did it again with an {InGeniUs} idea for party hats!

So copying this!

14. Paperacorn's favor boxes are OUT.OF.THIS.WORLD!!!

15. The kids are going to paint these robot

banks from Oriental Trading.

I am having a BLAST planning this party! Many of these crafts are already in the works. I have also started collecting boxes so that we can paint them and decorate them like robots for the kids to wear. It's only 4 and a half months away - what can I say, I am a planner!

Recipe: Mexican Quiche

I have long had an affinity for quiche - all kinds of quiche! And here's the kicker - I don't like cheese & eggs together. Breakfast tacos with cheese - ick! Omelettes - forgettaboutit! But, quiche I {LoVE}! I also LOVE LOVE mexican food. Could eat it every day! So the other day I made a mexican version.

Here's the recipe:

1/2 lb hamburger meat

1/4 c. onion, diced

1 can (4oz) chopped green chilis (I don't drain, but you could)

2 Tbsp taco seasoning mix (I used Old El Paso)

1 1/2 c. grated cheese

3 eggs, beaten

1 1/2 c. half & half

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

pinch of cayenne (optional)

1 deep dish pie crust (you could make one from scratch if you're that CraZY!) :)

Preheat oven to 400. Saute together the hamburger, chilis, onions and taco seasoning until browned. Drain, if necessary. Bake pie shell at 400 for 7 mins. While this cooks: In a separate bowl, blend together eggs, half & half, salt, pepper and cayenne. Remove pie shell from oven and reduce heat to 375. Alternate layers of meat mixture and cheese in baked pie shell. Place pie shell on a cookie sheet. Pour egg mixture over the meat & cheese layers and then bake at 375 for 45 mins. I serve with guacamole and tortilla chips or even homemade tomatilla-poblano salsa. Yumm, yum!

My kids go crazy for this stuff and my husband, who does not care for traditional quiches, is even on board! It's a keeper in our house!
