finishing our SC visit with the Gfam...

Saturday night

laundry!

Sunday morning

More getting spoiled with good home cooking before getting back on the
road!! Mmmmm!

Afamily home cooking...

Oh my goodness we love & appreciate this gooooood home cooking!! <3

Thursday night supper

Friday morning breakfast

Saturday workday...

B: Eggs & toast

L: turkey sandwiches 

(nothing new- except they're on bread instead of wrapped this week:)

S: noodles with Alfredo & chicken...

No particular recipe for this, I just cooked the noodles & chicken separately, then mixed them together with the alfredo sauce and added italian bread crumbs on top... Then I put it in the oven for 20 minutes.

When I tasted it, I thought it needed a little something, so I added parmesan cheese. I think next time I might mix in some feta and maybe some sundried tomatoes to give it more flavor.

(I'd also cut the chicken into smaller chunks and season it with something... Maybe basil or all spice while it's cooking)


J & Mo were working on their project, so I dropped off meals to them on my way to work...

They were happy.
I was happy.
Certainly I get it honest, but it's my favorite to get to share a meal!

Paper plate night...

Pizza & roasted carrots.... Mmmm!

Pizza1: pep + cheese
Pizza2: chicken + sundried tomatoes + cheese

(paper plate night may or may not mean the dishes are all dirty.. Or that they're still wet from the washing and I didn't want to dirty then again so soon:)

Burritos on Wednesday...

...and we have new NC State tees!!:)

It's a study study night around here.. Thankful for beans and rice, chicken & carrots to give us good energy!!

Pad Thai night...

Breakfast: cereal & banana

Lunch: leftover pot pies, peanuts, raisins, & apple

Supper: Pad Thai-easy box style...

with cilantro & peanuts

A few things about this recipe:

-it's probably not that healthy... I haven't even read the ingredients (nor do I want to) to see what's in that sauce:)

-it says 15 minutes on the box but takes more like 35-40 from start to finish (still not bad & definitely worth it!)

-there's so many noodles... it might be good with an extra egg and a little more chicken-the Chinese hot sauce stuff (that we didn't bring with us) really gives it a kick and makes it oh so good!

-the best part is... there's enough leftover for tomorrow! :)

Keeping it simple...

I Switched it up for lunch today too! It wasn't my intention, but I got so caught up enjoying the morning before work (& writing about Wednesday's meals) that I only had time to make these simple PB&J

sandwiches...

The day was long and good. I was able to pick Jeremy up on my way in from work again, which I love. Then I made us some yummy beans and rice and chicken (seasoned with cumin)... 

He was happy. I was happy. And there are leftovers, so that's a bonus!:)

After supper we headed back to the school for him to finish his Nolli map. We had also heard there was a Campus Crusade meeting at 8pm, so I was considering going to that... (I did and it was excellent! There's more to the story, but I'm definitely hoping to get involved & help in some way!) When I came back to the studio around 9:30, Jeremy was just finishing up his map! We sprayed it, had some snacks brought in by the upper classmen (are they still called that in grad school?) and then we headed home for some goood rest!

What a day! :)

I haven't decided yet if I'll stick to the plan and do stir-fry for Friday night (I go in at 4:00) -or if I'll just make some more chicken to go with our leftover beans & rice...

Turkey burgers

Got a cookbook from the library, went to Trader Joe's for groceries, and made my first turkey burgers.... and bake potato fries... my favorite comfort-food ever! <3

J loved them which made my day!

happy husband = happy me! :)

Dad's sauce..

First meal in our new place... Dad's sauce and noodles. Yep, I burned a few on the eye of the stove. oops.

We had this for lunch after J's first day of orientation.

Then I took some leftovers to work the next night and had to eat with a serving spoon because I forgot to bring a fork! Off to a great start, right!?
