Wanted to let y'all know Paula's Pig on a Stick recipe was excellent. I cheated and used the jerk seasoning blend you can buy in the store (McCormick):

Ended up having Checkers for dinner. But I made dessert at home, which I would show you the picture of but my computer is acting like a butt!

Louisiana Knights win their first game of the World Series 12-7!!! Kyle pitched 5 innings, coach pulled him when the score was 8-3, wants to save his arm in case they fall into the loser's bracket.

Yeah! Great job Kyle!

I never made the flank steak yesterday so that is what we'll have along with tossed salad. Tom came in late so Andrew and I just ordered Chinese.

I am feeling a bit better...almost there!

Have a great day!

I miss you not being around much. Hope you're feeling better every minute!

WFD - Swiss Steak, sweet potatoes and broccoli.

I have never heard of this...interesting. I search it says a grain. How do you prepare it?

It's cooked just like rice but takes a lot less time. I haven't tried doing anything other than that with it, yet. It has a nutty texture to it and you can use it in place of rice in certain dishes.

There are two varieties, red and regular. The red is a little smaller than the regular and doesn't have to be rinsed first.

Well, last night ended up being McD's. We had little time between work/gym and help with church moving (which ended up being 3 hours of painting bookcases for me) Not sure about tonight. We are having a lazy morning b/c I'm so tired after yesterday. And I promised DD that we'd go to the pool this afternoon. So I might just pick up some dinner at the club restaurant.

Morning Y'all,

Lauren, Sorry you're still feeling so bad!

Kathy, for Kyle! He must really be having fun after that game!

Becky, That looks scrumptious!

My menu changed last night. My stomach started feeling off & salmon just didn't sound good anymore. So then we were going to just have salad, then I thought chicken... anyway we ended up with a chicken taco salad.

Here's the pic:

Probably won't be cooking today, I have the neuro appt this afternoon.

Hope everyone has a good day!

I am so glad! Please continue to take it easy and rest.

I love quinoa but did not like the red variety. Do you prefer it over the regular?

Ann, quinoa is good and is a very healthy seed, although I treat is just like a grain.

I have not even thought about dinner. Kady was sick all night, DD was up with her until I took her in with me about 5 AM. DD needed to get a little sleep before work. She has a tummy bug and the poor thing cannot keep anything down. I'll look in the freezer later.

Hope Kady is well soon, poor thing!

Anything healthy generally does not fly well with DH!!!

Last time I planted basil some beetles got into them and ate it all and killed the plant! I went out one day to get some and when I touched the pot all these beetles hit the table then took off flying.

I'm glad the plant is doing better this year.

I wish I were there, I'd know these things.

I'm sure it is tough to miss it. When do they play again?

I am feeling a bit better...almost there!

Yay! Continue to take it easy -- those back issues have a pesky way of recurring.

Probably won't be cooking today, I have the neuro appt this afternoon.

Your dinner looked great! Good luck today at the dr's.

IKady was sick all night

Poor Kady. I hope she feels better soon, and that the rest of you don't get it.

I think we are going to have fajitas tonight. We don't have any after-camp activities tonight, thank goodness.

Stephanie -- My daughter would be envious of your relaxing morning. When I woke her up to take Liam to camp, she pulled her blanket back up over her head and tried to go back to sleep! I hope you feel more rested now.

Buddy would not even touch it. He said it does not look like food

Probably won't be cooking today, I have the neuro appt this afternoon.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Good luck this afternoon!

Enjoy this "lazy" day, they don;t come along often.

Kat- when does Kyle play again? I always got confused by the winners and losers brackets, but then the rules never make any sense to me so I just showed up for the games. I figured if they played it was good.

Okay, dinner is burgers. And I don't know what else, probably sliced tomatoes and cucumbers.

I like the flavor of the red a little better then the regular, but really like them both.

WFD - Swiss Steak, sweet potatoes and broccoli.

How do you make your swiss steak? I've done it in the crockpot the last few times but the prep is fairly complicated.

WFD- Pizzas done on the grill ( I am thinking sundried tomato pesto, vidala, & mozz for me), shredded iceberg salads with lemon & Evoo dressing.

I need instructions on how to grill pizza!

Dinner tonight will be grilled Honey Lemon Basil Chicken, red quino and I think sauted green beans and mushrooms.

Do you have a recipe for the chicken?


Tonight - more fast food! Still no food in the house, DH is playing basketball after work, so it's just me and the dogs. I'm tempted to get fried chicken since he doesn't like it (weirdo.)

I have GOT to hit the grocery store tomorrow on my day off!!!

Sheryl, your dinner looked great!

I booked our plane tickets for Disney today, whoo-hoo!

I have no idea what is for dinner tonight. It is so hot, and I can't remember what I have in the fridge!
