They don't get it from their Mama!

First...

Hiram drew his first "person" the other day. He told me it is Bailey.


This is Hiram's first tomato this season. The smily face was naturally occurring, it is where the tomato was resting on the other branch of the plant.

So cool! - Literally

Two friends and I decided to try Once A Month Cooking together. I have done this on my own however it is more fun with friends. We each chose 5 meals and multiplied our recipes by 3. Most of these meals will have leftovers so we will have dinner for the whole month.

1st column (Courtney): Chicken Spaghetti, Salsa Chili, Chicken Pot Pie, Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, Meatballs (55)
2nd column (Stefanie): Creamy Italian Chicken, Chicken Broccoli, Creamy Chicken & Black Bean Burritos, Meatloaf
3rd column (Jamie): Tortilla Soup, Taco Rice, Chicken Florentine, Buffalo Chicken, Sausage Casserole

And don't tell me you don't have enough room in your freezer! Currently I have 26 packaged meals and 9 bags of frozen vegetables in my freezer.

So now my dinner routine goes something like this:
1) Thaw
2) Dump
3) Heat
4) Enjoy!
