Lettuce Wraps
Friday, December 19, 2008
I happened to have several chicken breasts that had been grilled on the Foreman, just hanging out in the refrigerator looking for something to do.
Julienned some red bell peppers...
Added some sliced garlic. Minced garlic is for...lightweights!
Seasoned with some Hoisin Sauce and some Newmans Sesame Ginger Dressing
Sauteed it all up together...just long enough to warm the chicken.
Now, cooking for my family has never been an easy chore. The children are picky...I mean PICKY! But now, Stormy has decided she is a vegetarian. So Storm wouldn't eat the lettuce wraps because they had meat in them; and Shelby wouldn't eat them because they had vegetables in them.
How much longer until they go away to college and have to feed themselves?

Holiday Traditions
Wednesday, December 17, 2008
Another long standing tradition, for many families including mine, is the baking of holiday treats to give to family and friends. While I participate in this annual tradition, I'd like to know who started this sadistic trend. Why on earth do we spend hours upon hours baking cookies to then package up and give away, only to receive a different assortment from others with the same goal? Rather then spend precious holiday time baking hundreds of cookies to give away, then receive hundreds back, why not just bake cookies for your own family?
These are the thoughts that keep me awake at night, tossing and turning with thoughts of sugar, flour and butter. What if I forget to give cookies to someone, then receive them from that person and feel guilty that I missed them? Ahhhh, the joy of the holidays.
Regardless, I continue with the frenzy of holiday baking and delivering pretty wrapped boxes of treats.
Here is part of this years donations:
I at least hope my treats are well received. And we definitely partake of all the goodies bestowed upon us.
Happy Holidays!
