So I'm back to work...

...from being on maternity leave. I'm still trying to adjust but should have some more recipes to post soon. I think that I'll just be cooking on weekends, so that will limit some of the ones I post throughout the week. I'm doing decent on my low carb program. I've dragged my whole leg off the wagon the last couple weeks but I am still down a couple more pounds since the last time I checked. Clothes are fitting the same as they have last month. That's ok. Diets should be flexible with life, after all, a diet is really a way of eating for the better for the rest of one's life, right? Right.

I've run aground on Serenisms, but I have an Evyism to share. These are usually quite rare because Evy doesn't have a sarcastic bone in her body (whose child is she again?), but simply states the obvious truth in an out-of-the-mouths-of-babes type way. 

Last week, I was warning Evy one evening to be very careful when we came home so as to not wake the younger children who were sleeping or Daddy would be very mad because he's had a rough time all day.  Evy said, "I know Daddy has had a very rough time with Seren and Penny today because he BARELY got to watch ANY TV all day, even before I got home from school!"

Yup, now there's the truth from an 8 year old...lol

I'm going to have to speak with Mike about his parenting skills...

Before I left on maternity leave, he was visited by the sherriffs dept because seren was screaming bloody murder when the postal woman dropped off some mail and she thought Mike was beating her senseless. Today, the FBI showed up at our door...

Apparently they're investigating the sale of the homes in the community. No biggie...lol

Number 3

...This is the third one broken.  Yes, it is Seren's, as were all the others.

My version of Party Teryaki Steak

It was EXCELLENT! Will do it again for sure! 

Dinner ran late, which inspired tonight's Serenism: Daddy, if you don't feed us soon, we're gonna die!  Daddy: And your argument is???


Party Steak Teriyaki for dinner tonight

I'm so excited to try this low carb dish!

Eggs Benedict Good Housekeeping Style...

...was NOT a hit.  Although, mine was pretty good without the bread.  Otherwise, the children stared back at me in abject terror when I suggested they venture beyond eating their bacon dipped in hollandaise sauce.  Mike doesn't like eggs benedict at all so his plate is the one with just sauteed veggies with over easy egg and slice of bacon.  I made a similar recipe a year ago without the bell pepper and onion mixture and the kids enjoyed it quite a bit.  So, the hollandaise sauce is awesome and so is the bacon, but I'll definitely put the bell pepper and onion mixture on the side and scramble their egg next time ;)



Eggs Benedict for Dinner Tonight

Sorry about missing a couple of evenings of dinners, so tonight I am making a breakfast recipe before I take Seren on her grocery shopping date.
