Day 361: Honey Wheat Brick

I was reading in my textbook that lumbermen had fresh bread with dinner and that made me want fresh bread. So, I threw the ingredients in the bread-maker and ended up with a brick. It certainly didn't rise like it was supposed to. ":(

Day 350: Artichoke, Chicken & Salsa

Day 341: Salsa Chicken

For dinner I had grilled chicken topped with homemade salsa. It was so good, I should really make that more often.

Day 340: Salsa

Tomorrow is a potluck at work, so I made homemade salsa.

Day 334: Pomegranate Margarita

I had drinks with Trisha and Carly after work. This is my second pomegranate margarita.

Day 316: Chicken Parmesan Cheat

This is super easy. You'll need chicken patties or chicken nuggets, spaghetti sauce (homemade or store bought) and
Parmesan cheese (shredded or grated). 

Heat sauce on stove or in microwave. Sprinkle cheese on chicken and cook as directed on packaging. Top chicken with sauce and enjoy with garlic bread or pasta.

Day 312: Daisy Chili

I don't know when spring is actually going to get here. Today was another cold and crappy day, complete with rain. It was the perfect day to make chili. I used some of the Daisy ground beef to make it and tomato sauce we canned last fall. I have to say that it was the best chili I've ever had.

Day 304: Mexican Lasagna

This is a perfect meal when you have leftover taco meat. Layer prepared taco meat with tortillas, frozen corn, black beans, salsa, and shredded cheese. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes. Serve with sour cream.

Day 303: Mmmm steak!

Yay! It's grilling weather! Dinner was fantastic!

Day 288: Red Lobster

Mom, Ash and I went to Joann Fabrics in Saginaw. After, we figured we'd get dinner at Red Lobster. My plan was to take a picture of our food when it arrived at our table, but I forgot until I was grabbing my purse to leave. So, here is what is left of the lobster and shrimp.

Day 206: Blueberries

Splurged on blueberries today.

Day 201: Pecan-Parmesan Fish Fillets

I found this recipe and it seemed simple enough, so I thought I'd try it.  I used spinach instead of broccoli because I couldn't find any in the freezer.  Also, I only used the lemon juice that gets mixed with the pecan/cheese mixture (I didn't sprinkle the lemon juice on top) and it was a bit much for me.  If I make this in the future, I'll probably just not use the lemon juice at all.  Regardless, I found it to be quite tasty and super easy to make.
