During the summer when I'm not teaching, I clean and cook more that ever. I actually enjoy it. During the school year, I don't even notice the dishes piled in the sink to be honest. I guess it's the job of teaching... it never ends, it comes home with you, and my creative crazy mind is always trying to solve problems of boring lessons, behavior problems, or how to respond to a parent's rude email even as I am laying in bed trying to fall asleep. It's still surreal that I have resigned, BUT I am excited-- and relaxed! Although, my cooking and cleaning will soon not be as it is-- with these girls on the way, I thought I'd share with you my favorite summertime lunch! Then... YOU share with ME yours (or dinner)! You can help me be the domestic housewife I've never been- ha! :)

Amy, I will have to try out your recipes. They look yummy! I added my favorite summer recipes to my blog. Thanks for the great blog idea! I get stuck cooking the same thing and love quick, simple recipes to change things up a bit. Hope you and the twins are enjoying the summer!
A few of my favorite summer recipes:
Margarita chicken (safe for pregnant housewives)
marinate chicken breasts in margarita mix, garlic, a little lime juice and salt for 3-4 hours then grill.
Goes great with grilled veggies.
Fruit Pizza
use premade or homemade sugar cookie dough -
Spread dough onto a pizza pan and bake for 10 minutes.
Mix 8 oz. cream cheese and 8 oz. coolwhip. Spread on baked dough.
Top with sliced fruit of your choice, chill and serve.
Amy, so happy you like that website. I go there all the time for tips and tricks! It is just wonderful! Another blog you should visit is www.walkslowlylivewildly.com
Sara is an awesome inspiration!
yummy pasta,
my favorite lunch that I eat almost everyday especially this time of year when the berries are ripe for the picking is
spinach strawberry salad
baby spinach
sliced strawberries
feta or gorgonzola cheese
walnuts
raspberry walnut vinagrette dressing
the spinach is also a great source of folic acid for the pregnant mommy!
Enjoy!
don't eat sprouts when you are pregnant. they have a bacteria that is very dangerous.
Shiloh.... I think I am going to make that chicken tonight. Mmmm..
I have a recipe for a tortilla salad that it would go great with.
The dressing is honey, cider vinegar, and curry (sounds gross, but oh so good). The salad has corn, black beans, and crispy tortilla strips. Top with a little cheese. Yum!
I love your cute blog! It was great eating lunch with you on Thursday. Let's do it again soon.
