Mom's Bday Pics#2

ditto.
Mom's gift from Rod & co.

Love these pics of Jon Jon & Dad. You can see the resemblance.

Jon Jon showing off his new teeth. You should have seen my bag of tricks trying to get him to smile. He likes you to sneak up on him and scare him.

Again, resemblance.
These roses were so beautiful!
Look who hijacked Mom's cake. It's for his 9 mo. birthday.




The party continues outside with sparklers. Always a big hit. The only thing missing was Matty's black snake fireworks.


Jon Jon wants in on the action.
Mama Whisperer trying to "relax" her boy. No wonder he doesn't stray too far away.

Quinoa Pilaf

Quinoa Pilaf 2 Tablespoons olive oil 1/2 onion, chopped or 1 shallot, finely chopped 2 cups quinoa 4 cups chicken broth 1 teaspoon parsley flakes In large fry pan with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and quinoa. Saute until the quinoa starts to brown and the onion becomes clear. Add chicken broth and parsley flakes and bring to a slight boil. Cover and reduce heat. Cook for 12 minutes, covered, until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, recover and allow to steam for another 10 – 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve. This recipe is from Goodcheapeats.com a great resource for once a month freezer cooking and menu planning Mondays. Also, I added chopped carrots to the recipe when sauteeing the onion and quinoa just to add a little color to the dish and to get some veggies in. Recipe from: www.goodcheapeats.com

Wedding Soup Recipe

By -
Here's Aunt Mary's Wedding Soup recipe that was so delicious! WEDDING SOUP 2 boneless chicken breasts 2 large cans college inn chicken broth 1 pkg. chopped spinach (thawed & drained) 3 cups water 1 carrot 2 eggs 1/3 cup parmesan cheese Bring water boil; add chicken. Grate carrot into boiling water. After 10-15 minutes remove chicken. Cool, then dice. Add College Inn broth; bring to a boil and reduce heat. Beat 2 eggs, add Parmesan cheese to eggs and blend. Drop egg mixture into broth, stirring through with fork. Add drained spinach, meatballs, diced chicken. Simmer for 15 minutes Of course you can make your own chicken stock, but I just used the canned broth but I did use the lowfat, low sodium one. Also, the drier you get the spinach the less green the soup broth gets. MEATBALLS 1/2 lb. ground beef 1/2 cup italian bread crumbs 1 egg (blend above and roll into dime size meatballs) I cooked my meatballs before putting them into soup

Chicken Carbonara Alfredo with Broccoli

By -
I roasted a whole chicken a few nights ago. I stuffed a couple of lemons and garlic cloves up it's bum and rubbed it with poultry seasoning. I made giblet gravy with the giblits, liver and a few hard boiled eggs too. The gravy was my favorite part. I shredded the leftover chicken tonite and used the creamy alfredo sauce packet that was in my cabinet. I threw in some bacon crumbles I keep in my freezer and some sliced mushrooms from Trader Joe's. I boiled some broccoli florets (on sale @ giant eagle) in the same sauce pan I later threw in some angel hair pasta. Dinner was made in less than 15 minutes!!! and cheap. So cheap.
