Memorial Day

We enjoyed a great day at my Uncle and Aunt's with Brendon and Tamara's family. Great food, homemade ice cream, patriotic songs and fireworks.

Awards Program

Pictures of Elizabeth's Awards program. She is so excited to now be a 3rd grader. Oh, how I remember 3rd grade. After the program there was a dinner catered by Macaroni Grill.

Mothers Day

Spring Break

For spring break we went to Islamorado , Fl which is about 5 keys above Key West. We took a day and went to Key West so Elizabeth could see the southern most point, which she thought was neat. The weather was beautiful. It feels like you are in the carribeans. It took us about 13 hours to drive and that was enough.

Dr. Seuss

Elizabeth's school celebrated Dr. Seuss this week. Each day had its event.

Crazy hair day and shirt backwards

Crazy hat day

She loves these kinds of events. It made each day extra exciting.

Pesto....

My new found love Pesto sauce. I pretty much only cook veg. dishes. I could careless about meat and Earl now is limiting his meat eating so it can be hard to come up with different dishes, but I will say I come up with a few I really like. Good sauces is the key. I do a lot of noodles (variety) with stir fried veg. and then use different sauces to have a different taste. But I started using pesto and now I do everything with pest. Here are a few recipes I enjoy.

1. Bake potato with a smear of ranch dressing , cheese and vegs. (stir fried)-no sauce on these vegs.

2. Pasta noodles with pesto sauce(or any sauce) and vegs. top with little parmesan

3. Veg pizza, use your choice of crust, spread with pesto instead of tom. sauce , top with mozzarella cheese, add spinach, mushrooms, olives, jalapenos, squash, onion, green pepper and any others you would like. (It is great!!!!)

4. Tortilla wrap with Parmesan cheese and pesto veg. (love it)

5. Hey it may sound funny but Egg white omelet with veg. and top with hot sauce. Grits as a side.

Ok, now I am hungry, but I think we are going out for meat tonight. Bar-b-que maybe.

Pesto sauce is MUCH cheaper at Wal-Mart.
