A bit of this and that...

Hello friends!!! So sorry its been too long. Last weekend was LOTS and LOTS of cooking on my part.  My favorite thing to do is actually cook, but only when I have time. And since Burr was working he just came home for dinner at night (Friday and Saturday).  Here is what was whipped up last weekend.

Friday Night – Make your own Pizza with ceaser salad and homemade croutons

Trader Joe’s Whole Wheat fresh pizza dough

TraderJoe’s fresh pizza sauce

Low-fat skim mozzerlla cheese

Soy sausage  - also from TJs – FULL of protein

Sauteed mushrooms

Olives (for anne)

Croutons = whole wheat bread with light butter, garlic powder, and garlic and herb cheese broiled to perfection

Saturday Night – Lebanese Night (Now this was a bit difficult!) Seriously – 3 middle eastern grocery stores…hello!

1.       Chicken Swarma Pitas with garlic sauce (You have to marinade chicken overnight)

I love these cause you can re-heat a couple in the morning and shove them in on your way to work!

I get to see Ellie and Clare in T minus 13 days. SOOOOO excited – check out recent pics. Are you kidding me?! Ridic.

 

This is a picture of me and our friends, Katie and Drews, little girl - Maggie. Isn't she the sweetest thing ever! I heart her.

 This is pic of the shape of our new bed!!! I picked out a grey velvet fabric to get it covered in though.

I was SUPER productive last weekend and even whipped up this arrangement on our wall! I was SOOOO proud of myself:-)

 

We also had the yard guy come – here are a couple pics.

Oh, and termite update is we don’t have “active” termites; these were old and treated before. At least we can sleep at night!
