Let's start with the slight crafting. I knitted. 24 rows to be precise. Not much done in the way of scrapbooking or creating cards today. However I did find a local scrapbooking store which I intend on visiting this week or next week... probably next week. The positive side is all my photos from 2009 to present are all organized, along with the photos to be crafted into cards. Now my lazy but has to get off the couch and start scrapping this week!
I like to start with the negative and end with the positive. The cooking went fabulously! How could it not? I used a crock pot. The Greek Chicken with Orzo was so good that the kids ate it up before I remembered to put on the final touch, the feta cheese. My lovely husband, a self proclaimed foodie, commented that the addition of the feta cheese really brought out the Greek flavor (that was his second bowl). Since the whole family loved it so much, I forgot to take a picture of it! And now, all that is left is an empty crock pot waiting to be washed.
The second endeavor was Strawberry Cupcakes. Ab Fab Baby, Ab Fab!
A simple vanilla cupcake with a chunk of cream cheese and strawberry preserves. Topped with a homemade strawberry butter-cream frosting. A big hit with the hubby, kids and even my mother. I am not a big fan of butter-cream frosting myself, but adding the strawberry changed up the flavor for me, in a positive way.
Tomorrow is Monday, I have a ton of errands to do, causing me to be gone most of the day. Then A has indoor soccer practice at 5:30 to 6:30, after which I will be lugging A and G to a pre-PTO meeting because Big Daddy will be at work. So in short, I need a nice easy meal... grilled chicken in a light cabbage slaw perhaps?? Cabbage slaw including grated carrots, dried cranberries and perhaps some sunflower seeds? We'll see tomorrow!
