Valentine's Day Dinner

Margarita Grilled Shrimp http://tinyurl.com/2xdlym
I used chicken instead of shrimp, and I made at least a double batch of the marinade. I let the checken breasts marinate over night, and then we cooked them on the George Foreman grill. They were delicious and so tender. We want to try this recipe out again, but next time on the BBQ grill.


Banana Cream Pie (Thanks Adriana!)
2 Pre-Baked Graham Cracker Pie Crusts
1 can (14 oz.) Carnation Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 cup Cold Water
1 large pkg. (3.4 oz) Banana Cream Instant Pudding Mix
1 container (8 oz.) Cool Whip (thawed)
5-6 Bananas

Combine sweetened condensed milk and water in a large bowl. Add pudding mix; mix well (I mixed it by hand with a wooden spoon...I suppose an electric hand mixer would work as well). Stir in 1 1/2 cups of cool whip and about 1 1/2-2 bananas.Arrange a single layer of bananas on the bottom of the pie crusts. Pour 1/2 of the filling into each pie crust. Let the pies sit in the refrigerator for a few minutes before topping with the remaining cool whip. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until well set

I have never had Banana Cream pie before this. So I enjoyed it, but I was told it was too sweet. Not sure if it was the recipe or if I forgot to add the correct amount of water. Will have to try this one again.
