Made a Rick Bayless recipe last night that had rice, onion, cilantro, black beans and chicken in it, topped with a tomatillo/chipotle salsa. Delicious!

Tonight was homemade pizza - we had the absolutely worst pizza EVER from a local restaurant a couple weeks ago. The crust tasted like freezer burn, was obviously NOT handmade, and made the DH and I want to hurl. The pizza tonight, however, had the perfect crust, a nicely browned top, and MUCH better toppings! :-)

We can't decide what to have. We are leaning towards fish and chips but not sure yet.

Shake and Bake chicken is in the oven, potatoes are boiling (mashed tonight), and broccoli is nearly done. I'll wash it all down with Nestle's Quik and my Mom will probably opt for white milk.

Potato soup tonight (made just a tad bit better because I had 1/2 C of heavy cream left over that got mixed in with the skim milk).

Last night I made fish tacos - they came out fabulous! I made my own flour tortillas, used some tortilla crusted tilapia, and made a slaw w/cabbage, red onion, cilantro, cumin, salt mixed with a chipotle sauce (greek yogurt, lime juice and chipotles in adobo sauce). We will definitely have these again!

I've got chicken breasts in the slow cooker with some onion, garlic and cream of broccoli soup. It smells good in here! I'm also going to make some mashed potatoes, biscuits and steamed broccoli and cauliflower.

In new messages, it said, "I've got chicken breasts" which made me giggle. I was going to ask Mamie if surgery could help with that.

There was a freezing wind today, so we made a mish-mash soup...started by sauteeing onions, carrots and mushroom with salt, pepper and white pepper. Dumped in broth and chicken with a seasoning bag (what is that thing called when you put herbs in a cheesecloth?) that had cloves, garlic, rosemary, a bay leaf and peppercorns. When it was good and hot, I dumped in some fresh baby spinach and Chinese noodles. A few minutes later - voila! Hot soup that was perfect for the cold day.

The seasoning mix was actually from a c*ock-a-leekie soup recipe, but I love the flavor of the combo so much, I've been using it anytime I make chicken soup of any kind.

Crabcakes, and I made soybean succotash (subbed edamame for lima beans :-) It was very good!). and of course the never ending girl scout cookies!

Friday nights tend to be my "quick quiche" recipe.

"Saute four thick cut slices of bacon, add half an onion chopped, 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic, 8-10 chopped mushrooms (or a drained rinsed can of mushrooms)until cooked but not too crisp or brown,
In large bowl, whisk 6 or 7 eggs and 3/4 cup milk until well mixed. Add 1/4 chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 3/4 cup chopped or shredded cheese (cheddar, or your favourite mix) Add 3/4 cup Bisquick baking mix and stir well.

Pour over the drained bacon mixture. I do mine in the same frying pan I sauteed in, as it is ovenproof, but you may need to put yours in a different baking dish. (Large pie plate or similar)

Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes...Voila dinner is served. Adding a mixed green salad as a side boosts the nutrition value.

Takes me about 1 minutes prep time, so it's 45 minutes 'til supper.
