Teethering just a little, but I have an excuse!

This week has not worked out as planned. I have been sick. I am currently recovering from strep throat and although I hadn't been able to eat most of the week... the rest of the family needed to! The preplanned menu was tossed out and Millard was given the go-ahead to just do 'whatever'. We resorted back to cereal box breakfasts and canned soups, mac & cheese, and sandwiches were a quick easy fix for lunch and dinner. All in all I think we did good to get this far without any seriously greasy, deep-fried take-out. Our only take out meal was Subway... which doubled as dinner one night and lunch the next day.

I am starting to feel better after seeing the doctor. I am back on my feet and ready to make a meal tonight. It is just going to be spaghetti & meatball with Millard's pre-made, frozen meatballs and a jar of Ragu. I am going to attempt to make a green salad to go with it, but who knows if I'll make it that far.

    Oh No! I'm so sorry to hear that you've been ill. It always seems when you get sick in the summer, it seems to linger longer...YUCK! I'm glad to hear that you are feeling better and look forward to your next food adventure! Do you get "Taste of Home" magazine?

    I used to have a subscription to "Taste of Home" magazines when I lived in VA. I kept all my copies and shipped them here with me. :)

Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken

Made the below recipe for chicken tonight. It was yummy! It has been a long day and I totally forgot to take pictures of the chicken, but I wanted to post the recipe so that I wouldn't loose it. Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Ingredients 1/4 c Dijon mustard 1/3 c Honey 2 tbs Light Mayo 1 tbs Steak Sauce 4 Chicken Breasts (4oz ea) Directions 1. Preheat the grill for medium heat. 2. In a shallow bowl, mix the mustard, honey, mayonnaise, and steak sauce. Set aside a small amount of the honey mustard sauce for basting, and dip the chicken into the remaining sauce to coat. 3. Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill chicken over indirect heat for 18 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally, or until juices run clear. Baste occasionally with the reserved sauce during the last 10 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning!

Yummy Salad

Salad can get boring so today I got creative... romaine lettuce, a little ranch mixed in with the lettuce... then shredded cheddar, raspberries, grape halves, strawberry, and just a few almonds. A nice fresh salad for a warm day. Yum!

Panini & Potatoes

Now that we`re over the Easter break it`s time to hop right back on track. Monday I really didn`t feel like cooking a real meal so I opted for sandwiches. I made Turkey-Ham-Cheddar-Avocado Panini`s. Normally we`d have potato chips or french fries on the side, but I made smashed potatoes instead that I found on the back of 'Compliments Brand Red Petites Potatoes' Roasted Smashed Greek Potatoes 2lbs red mini potatoes 1 head garlic, peeled 4 sprigs oregano 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice Toss raw potatoes together with garlic, 2 sprigs of oregano, olive oil, saltand pepper in a roasting pan. roast in a 400 degree F oven until tender, about 40 minuntes. Transfer to a bowl and lightly smash potatoes. Stir in feta cheese, remaining leaves of oregnao and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
