Menu Monday and My Momma's Coming



I'm uber lazy this week. I've only made it through Wed. night's dinner. You see my AWESOME little momma is coming to stay for the week and she is pickier than any child you know. Half the time she turns her nose up at everything...and guess what...sometimes she hasn't even tried it yet. So I've left a few days open for change!

Tonight? A little pan fried breaded chicken...with melted parm cheese on top of a bed of angel hair w/some sauce. Oh and garlic bread...we can never forget that in our house!
(Yes I went easy tonight)

The kids are super excited to get her for a week...Me too...I'm seeing a Mani/Pedi in my future!!!

Looking for something to do w/the kids today? Whip this Fun Dough up in secs

I bet my daughter would LOVE the playdough. But she would probably eat it. Any ideas for edible dough?
Enjoy the time with your mom!

Just a note--made the chicken farfalle last night, and my hubby asked how hard it was to make because he loved it. Definitely on my favorites list now! Plus, we had fresh cherry tomatoes out of the garden.
