Catch up with a side of Stir Fry…

Asian, Misc. stuff, Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey guys! I promise I am eating! Mostly quick meals at home, take-out, and the occasional take-out…

The reason why? Well, cheer season has started back again. School is around the corner. I am soaking up all the summer left!

My girls playing at the park. Missing one little angel here.

Sunday, I made some chicken stir fry kinda like this. The noodles were not the same, but everything else pretty much was. You could also use rice instead of noodles.

Last night, the hubby and I ate a sushi dinner after we dropped the girls off at cheer camp. It was glorious!

Today I ate 2 Eggo waffles standing over the counter, Jimmy John’s Lulu Club sandwich, and a Taco Bell bean burrito and nacho chips. They were all good…no regrets! YOLO 😉

Tomorrow is another crazy day! Probably will just drink coffee for breakfast, a tomato sandwich for lunch, and who knows what for dinner??? Only 5 more days of my official summer so anything is possible!

 

Weekend Wrap-Up and a Yummy Monday Brunch

Breakfast and Brunch, Eggs, Vegetarian, Weekend Wrap-Up

Good morning, friends! I hope everyone had a GREAT weekend!

Friday we had a great time at the pool. The girls had a blast with lots of the neighborhood kids.

 

Then the girls had a slumber party with a few friends. They had a blast!

Then they slept over with my parents. The hubby and I had a great time with some friends at the house. I made my “famous” enchiladas. It is nice to hang with family friends without kids every once in a while.

Then yesterday, my parents met us at Texas Roadhouse for dinner to celebrate the hubby’s birthday! Their filet is to die for! We started with some yummy potato skins. img_4388

Now on to the brunch I made this morning…

Sunny Side Up Eggs with Sauteed Mini Heirloom Tomatoes

I got some amazing tomatoes this week at the farmer’s market. I mean…July is the BEST for tomatoes! I took a couple of handfuls of those beauties and cooked them in a bit of olive oil with a good pinch of salt and pepper. I covered them with a lid and just let those babies pop and char for a good 5 minutes. I toasted some English muffins and made my sunny side up eggs.


I topped the English muffins with an egg and some of those gorgeous tomatoes!

PERFECTION!

But our favorite summer activities is to be outside. The pool, lake, beach, backyard water table… We love to play in the water and this weekend was filled with pool time.

Lots of selfies…

Weekend Wrap Up 3/20/16

Chicken, Dips, Dressings, and Spreads, potatoes, Weekend Wrap-Up

This Saturday was all about CHEER! Uniform fittings and another long day of competitions. I was surrounded by cheerleaders ALL DAY LONG. Becca was so excited to compete!

They won! National Champions…first place with no deductions at all!

Today we slept in late. I did lots of laundry and went to the gym for a sweat session. Then I came home and made my version of the Chicken Milanese meal from Blue Apron.

I made these potatoes;  diced and coated with a couple tablespoons of olive oil with a good sprinkle of salt and pepper, cooked at 425 for about 25-30 minutes.    Basically what I have made before in terms of the chicken.
  A bright spinach salad with radishes, parm cheese, and some chopped nuts.

With a gorgeous Dijon Mustard  (2 tablespoons), Sour Cream (or Greek Yogurt), apple cider vinegar (1 tablespoon), and about a tablespoon of olive oil all mixed together seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper. img_2143 I was the only one who ate the salad (shocker). I let them eat the potatoes, but of course I snuck a few for quality control =) I also made them some green beans for a veggie.
