I'm taking it easy today. I have a frozen lasagna that's pretty good. We'll have that a salad, and I think I'll whip up a quick white chocolate pudding/cheesecake pie.

Happy Mother's Day to all!

DH is out getting a bottle of Rosa Regale, we've never had it. Can't wait to try it! We're having boiled crawfish with all the fixins today.

DH and the kids made breakfast for me this morning. Pancakes, bacon and eggs. It was nice even though the bacon was overcooked and the pancakes were tough. The eggs were just like I like them.

Tonight, DH is grilling steaks, and DD is making cookies for dessert. At least I don't have to cook. I can't wait to see what the kitchen looks like tomorrow!

Happy Mother's Day my friends!

Hello All-

Kathy I am sorry you guys lost, but glad you had a nice time otherwise.

Lauren- Don't know what happened with the muffins as they are super easy to make, but you do have to be careful that you don't put to much jelly.

Happy Mother's Day!! Hugs to those that are having a sad time!

Ds made me breakfast today. Dh is working all day.

Tonight's dinner will be simple as I have a lot to do around the house today. It is looking like Tuna Helper with a salad on the side.

Well, yesterday's indian food was very disappointing. The old place we liked closed and this was the replacement. The food was not spicy enough.

Today I am going to my inlaws, so I am sure it will be another day of mediocre food. I just keep telling myself that the company is good.

I am planing on making a pizza tonight to have with the Sopranos though.

Hi Everybody, and Happy Mothers Day! for all who are a little blue today.

My DGD made waffles this morning with her Pa. Translation: Nana can you show Pa what to do? She dragged her Mom to the table and surprised her. A fun way to start the day.

We had a lot of food yesterday so I think that we will grill the rest of the burgers and dogs. My SIL brought potato salad and macaroni salad from Costco so we will have that also.

Hi Lindsay, just saw your post. We didn't having the pie today. We were out. But we will have it soon! Do you remember the jello pudding pie recipe I posted some time ago? Basically you prepare the pudding, after it's gelled, add 1/2 a tub of Cool Whip, pour into a graham pie shell and refrigerate for an hour or two before serving. A good friend of mine told me she folds in 8 oz of softened cream cheese (Neufchatel 1/3 less fat) after the Cool Whip. That's it! She raved about it tasting a lot like a cheesecake! I have the sugar free/fat free white chocolate jello pudding. And the "Free" Cool Whip. So it should be somewhat low cal/low carb.

Trying to cut down these days. Let me know if you make it!

Hi All,

Checking in after a nice day...long though. Dsis had a really nice brunch but we drove alot - she lives about an hour and half away.

I'm tired.

Happy Mother's Day...hugs and love for my friends and extra for my friends that need some extra TLC...

I hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day.

Mom had to work today, so we spent time with her yesterday and had the mediocre Indian food. She doesn't even like Indian food, so in hindsight, it probably wasn't the best choice for Mother's Day weekend.

Today, Liam had a baseball game -- he started at shortstop, so he was pretty happy about that -- and then Dad took me and the kids out for brunch. I had a vegetarian wrap (mushrooms, broccoli, peppers, onions, cheddar cheese and scrambled eggs rolled up in a tortilla) and Dad had some meat-lovers wrap that Mom never would have approved of...especially since they were having steak for dinner.

I just finished eating some homemade pizza, and am now gearing up for another Sopranos episode. I haven't slept on Sunday night yet this season, and I have a dreadful feeling tonight might be even worse.

 

[LindsayDunn228]

Sorry folks. Once again I am on the laptop and can't edit the original post (except for the title, for some reason). I will have to add recipes later.

Tonight we are having leftover lasagna, salad, and bread. No cooking for me tonight!

WFD at your house?

Good morning all-

I have terrible migraine this morning so I will be taking some of my meds and laying down for a bit. I have no idea on dinner as I am a bit nauseous and nothing sounds good at the moment.
I have a feeling whatever I make will be simple though, lol. Maybe I will do swiss steak with the cube steaks in the freezer, that is simple and easy but looks like it took awhile to make.
Hmm guess I do know what we are having after all..............
Have a great day my friends!

 

[nucpharm29]

Morning all! I hope all the mother's had a wonderful day yesterday. DD asked before going to bed if we could have mommies' day again today. Love that girl!

We ended up grilling out last night. After some yard work in 90 degree weather the last thing I wanted to do was heat up the house turning the oven on. So I think tonight will be Glynis's cranberry/polynesian chicken. Have agreat Monday all!

 

[Nancyg56]

Wendie- I hope that you feel better soon. My DD sometimes has migraines and they are not pretty. Just relax and let dinner go.

Well, I need to get to the store today because we really don't have much left in the house. DS and DDIL did my shopping last week, used my list and kept my bill at $104! Well I wanted to see if I could manage with what I had on hand without heading back to the store for all of the things I usually toss in my basket. Now we have had between 7 and 8 people all week for dinner so I was not sure but.............WOOHOO! I did it! I just needed bread until yesterday. Now DH is sick of eating things from my pantry so off I go! I am going to make soup this morning and see what looks good .

Have a great day, everyone!

The turkey burgers listed a few days ago look great. HINT HINT

 

[TigerKat]

Good morning ladies!

Wendie - I hope you start feeling better soon, I know first hand about migraines. Take it easy.

Stephanie - what a sweet thing for DD to say, that must have been a precious moment!

It's beans & rice Monday here! We tried the Rosa Regale for the first time last night(with chocolate) - I'm in love!

Have a great day!

Tonight's a skating night, so I am just cooking a quick dinner for me when I get back. Right now, I am thinking Sis's egg dish, salad and crusty bread.
