Baby Shower

We are so excited to be hosting a baby shower for one of our Board of Directors.  Its on Sunday the 25th @2pm.  I cant wait!

chicken roast

I bought 6 lbs of some boneless, skinless, chicken breast and put them in the crock pot.  I used a really tasty rub and put in for 5 hours on high.  The first night we had it as just chicken roast with stuffing.  The next night I used the left overs and made chicken tacos, rice and beans.  Then I used the left overs in chicken taquitos.  It was a great way to have my chicken ready for my recipes and made cooking faster for the following nights.  I think I might freeze the left overs next time because my husband sort of was sick of chicken after those 3 days.

Spaghetti

Tonight was a crowd pleaser!  I had my in laws coming for dinner tonight and I wanted to make something that I knew everyone would eat, even the baby.  I served homemade Spaghetti, Green Salad, Fruit Salad, and Bread.  Now I cheated on the bread; it was store bought.  The Spaghetti sauce I made about three weeks ago and stored it in the freezer. It reheated very well.  It took about 30 min to heat and chop and serve everything. 

Yummy...

Tonight my husband made dinner.  We had a full breakfast.  We never have time in the mornings to cook, so we have breakfast for dinner.  Eggs, French Toast, and Ham. It was so good.  He did great.  Our kids always love when their dad cooks... Great Job Honey!  kiss kiss

Summers ending

I was strolling through the produce section of the store feeling a little bit sad.  Summer is coming to a close and the beautiful fruits of this season will soon be gone.  Paying tribute to Summer and running short on time I have decided to make a colorful fruit salad and serve it with cottage cheese.  Its a light dinner that requires no cooking and it will be a refreshing one.  Cutting up the fruit has taken a little time but well worth it.  I love mixing melons, grapes, pineapple, strawberries, and nectarines.  If you are running short on time, buy the fruit all ready cut.  This is an easy one! 

Dinner Tonight!

My days are filled with numbers at work, I want my nights to be filled with excitement! Tonight we are trying Vegetarian Burgers.  Instead of beef patties we are using huge portabello mushrooms that I bought at the farmers market last night. Grilling them for 2 minutes on each side and placing them on the roll.  I bought some forchatta rolls at the supermarket that we are using for buns. We are topping them off with lettuce, tomatoes, and a tangy mustard. We are just having fresh fruit on the side. Yummy!
