Tales of a Tired Mom

I am feeling a little lazy on this cold Monday! April's fool's got me again because I thought it was supposed to be SPRING! Sunday - Shredded Chicken and Rice - I made few chicken breasts in my new stove top cookware. I put a little bit of water and southwest seasonings and let it cook until it was easy to shred. For a side, I had some leftover corn so I sauteed it and made it into a mixed rice dish. Monday - Ginger Zucchini - I realized I had 3 beautiful zucchini in my fridge that I ... VIEW POST

I am really loving doing this board every week. It is keeping me on my game of making sure to switch up my dinner menus and create new ideas. It also keeps me on track at the grocery store.

Whenever we paint in our house, it turns into a paint party. Paint everywhere. My daughter absolutely loves to paint her hands (and as far up her arms as we let her) and make her little hand prints on all her masterpieces. I love it because I get to turn all her hand prints into crafts and decorations. Growing up, I always remember sitting around the kitchen table and making drawings and decorations for all the holidays. We would hang them in our front window. Halloween pictures, ... VIEW POST

Going to be a quick one today. Me and the little man have a lot of errands to run including going to pick up this week's menu supplies. What's on the Menu Monday III Sunday - Shrimp Rice Bowls - I wanted to do like a protein power bowl. But actually, we ended up making spinach linguini to go with our shrimp. (Something I knew the picky little boy would eat.) We saved the rice for our lunches today instead. Monday - Baked chicken legs served with baked potatoes and corn. My girl ... VIEW POST
