Fridays are always fantastic, but the Friday of a long weekend? It really doesn’t get better! The morning went off without a hitch, and they tend to do now, but for the fifth day in a row I didn’t get to see Oliver before I left. I think he’s settled into a new routine and…
A least exciting day
This will probably be the shortest, most boring blog post ever. I’m totally ok with this. The morning went off exactly like every other morning; I didn’t get to see Oliver again, I haven’t seen him once this week and it’s really starting to suck. Bo dropped him off at daycare and I headed off…
Glazed Roast Peameal Bacon, Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Sweet Carrots
You all may think, my god, could that roast be any sweater??? Well, no, probably not, but it’s only the outer crust that is coated with sweet carmel goodness, so it’s really not that much when you eat it. Unless you’re like me and hog both the ends. Yumm! I also pour the meat sauce…
There’s just too much to do…
Tuesday started off perfectly normal. Bo dropped a happy Oliver off at daycare, and I made it to work early for the second day in a row. The downside to these mornings is that Oliver keeps sleeping in so I don’t get to see him before I leave for work, which totally sucks. I’m almost…
Teriyaki Chicken, Roasted New Potatoes and Broccoli
This was a nice and easy meal to make, though it did require a little bit of prep work on the teriyaki sauce. Teriyaki Chicken Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 40 minutes Serves: 6 Ingredients: 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (you can use any type of chicken though, just adjust your cooking times) 1…
Jen’s Shakespeare Cookies
These are the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies you, your Momma, your Grandma and your Grandma’s Daddy ever tasted! Seriously. The title can not lie (it’s like incapable or some shit). I had been on the hunt for YEARS (really, close to a decade) for the best oatmeal chocolate chip cookie because it’s Bo’s favorite…
The countdown begins
So it’s another Monday, and to make it better I figured I would start a countdown in my head. A countdown to 1 – the long weekend coming up NEXT WEEKEND and 2 – My birthday next Wednesday. Yeah. Oliver and Bo each got to sleep in today because Bo had a meeting at 10 or…
Cinnamon Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Cinnamon Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes I put this recipe into the folder marked “How many foods can I fit into another food”. It’s a fun game, and I keep raising the stakes (like, if I can get up to 5 foods into another food, I’m totally taking myself to Dairy Queen for a blizzard, the…
What day is it again?
Well, we (Bo and I) totally screwed up our internal clocks yesterday by going grocery shopping. You see, I am usually a creature of habit, to a fault, and Sunday is usually grocery day, so I was totally screwed up. Plus, you throw in that Bo got up yesterday with Oliver, and I got up…
Buffalo Chicken Bites, Baked Macaroni & Cheese, Garlic Toast, and Garlic Butter
Buffalo Chicken Bites Ok, so Bo felt like something tossed in my chicken wing sauce, but not chicken wings. He didn’t know what he felt like, so I went with chicken bites, nice and easy to make. And they were delicious! They were even delicious the next day warmed under the broiler (though completely different…
Sa-sa-sa-SATURDAY!
So, Saturday morning rolled around at 6:30 when Oliver woke up and I just could not drag my butt out of bed. So I asked Bo to instead, and he did without so much as a sideways glance at me. Good husband! I tossed and turned for another four hours (but I probably could have done…
Despicable Me
Ok, so the post title sounds like I’ve done something horrible, but I haven’t, we just saw that movie tonight. We’ll get there though. TGIF was certainly true this week, and I’m not even really sure why. Maybe because of Oliver being sick, maybe I’m still struggling to adjust to working every day, maybe it’s…
If Momma aint happy, aint nobody happy!
I’ll skim through the morning here because it was the same as every other normal morning. I headed off to work and Bo got Oliver ready and off to daycare (I did get to see my boy for a couple of minutes in the morning though, yeah!). Work was work, oh yeah, except for Justin…
Quick cook zuccini
Cook-top Roasted Zucchini Ingredients: 2 medium zucchini, cut into ¼” slices 3 tbl extra virgin olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced salt to taste (fleur de sel, french gray, sea or kosher (in my order of preference, lol) Steps: Heat the olive oil until it’s very hot in a large skillet (this is important, as it allows room for…
Poor sick baby.
After a fairly crappy nights sleep (I was worried about my boy and tossed and turned all night), I got up at 6 and jumped in the bath to shower for work. Such a confusing sentence. (explanation: We haven’t tiled our master shower yet, or finished any shower in the house for that matter, so…
Huh…
This morning I wondered why the saying goes “Easy as pie”. Pie is not easy to make, that crust can be a fickle bitch, and don’t even get me started on lemon meringue.
