29 Minutes to Dinner

I went to a Pampered Chef party last fall and the cookbooks were on special. I ordered one with new healthy recipes and one called 29 Minutes to Dinner. We LOVE them both. I was sceptical about the 29minutes book, but we have not only LOVED the food, it's taken less than half hour to make, even with 3 boys under age 5 screaming, fighting, and calling me away from the kitchen!!

Here is a picture of how I get groceries while Daniel is TDY.

Here are some of our favorites:
Toasted Angel Hair with Sausage and Peppers
Chef's Corner Notes: Toasting the pasta provides a nutty flavor and an interesting color contrast. Toasting the pasta in the same pan as the sausage imparts flavor from the sausage to th pasta.

Grilled Tilapia With Pineapple Salsa

Beef Tenderloin With Mushroom Ragout
We liked this one so much I bought my dad the micro cooker so he could make it after reading the blog.

The next pic is Tangy Pepper-Pecan Brie from the Season's Best book.

Finally one fromt he It's Good For You cook book. Here is Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza. I made this one while Daniel was TDY.

ARRRRR!! Ahoy Matey!

I am long over due in this post as it's been 2 weeks ago already!! We took Alan's best buddy Aidan and his family on the Sea Dragon Pirate Cruise to celebrate all our August birthdays this year. The cruise was a BLAST!! It's family oriented and jam packed with activities for the kids. They start off in the red circle on the main deck for a safety talk about running and all the normal safety stuff. Then they give them all squirt guns and anyone on the main deck is fair game for the water gun fight. Then they have the kids swab the deck with child size mops. Then they take them into the dungeon to tell them a story about a treasure buried at sea. When they come up from the dungeon we all have to look for the "X" bouy. Then one of the pirate crew gets them all lined up with a rope and they have to pull the chest up out of the water. Everyone gets some of the treasure to take home. One of the last activities was getting pirate tatoos. Here is Alan aka Captain

Daniel's Surgery

It's 1:30am and been a very long day. Daniel's surgery was pushed back quite a bit today and we are just getting home from the hospital. The doctor gave us some neat pictures and I hope to get them along with all the details added to this post in the very near future. Thanks for all your prayers and please continue to pray for a speedy recovery. WARNING WARNING WARNING the following pictures are not for those of you with weak stomachs!!! Here is his Gall Bladder (everything here is normal) This next picture was explained with some big words. My teaching background kicked in so I rephrased what the doctor was telling me in words I could understand and he said I was understanding correctly. This is Daniel's colon an it should be able to move freely, but there is a spider web kind of forming around it trapping it. The doctor was able to cut it free. Here is Daniel's small intestine. It was getting caught up in the web as well, but the doctor was successful in freein

New House Pictures

I posted pictures of the new house on Picasa today. You can click HERE to see them. We unloaded 12,000lbs and returned the truck today. Daniel reports to work at 6:30am and the boys and I will be cleaning, unpacking and sorting. They are scheduled to deliver the appliances and install the security system as well.
