Thankful Thursday.....

I am thankful for a ton of things! The one thing that I am most thankful for today is the opportunity I have to stay at home with my kiddos. I am thankful for all the things this allows me the time to do with them. I am loving every second of it...temper tanrums and all!

What are you thankful for today????

Dinner on the fly

For those of you who have worked in the restaurant business you know that anything "on the fly" means.....QUICK! I was usually running back to the kitchen asking for something on the fly when I realized I had forgotten to put an order in.

Occaisionally dinner is like that for me! I will completely space thawing something out or even forget to look at my menu for the week to see what we were "supposed" to be having that night. Oh well...it happens.

In the words of the great Rachel Ray...."this meal is YUMMO". I found this recipe one day when I realized I had gotten a little excited at the Farmers Market and bought WAY too much Zucchini. I have now made it several times and its even a hit with the kids.

Most of the ingredients are things I tend to have on hand. To make it even quicker I will put frozen chicken breasts in the crockpot just by themselves first thing in the morning. Then I have cooked chicken that I can cut up and use in this recipe, I usually do extra and freeze the rest of the cooked chicken to use for another recipe.

Enjoy!

It's Tuesday again....

It's time for a terrific tip....but I was wondering if anyone had one for me??? I am really interested in getting this blog all fixed up! I would LOVE to know how to add pics to a post...you know, how they are actually in the text of your post? I would also love to know how to change my layout...so it's not so generic. I see all these beautified blogs and I only see the option to use their pre-made templates. I realize I am missing something...so anyone got a tip for me??? :)
