We are having salad and tarteens (open faced sandwiches):chef:
 
We went and played mini-golf today and they have food there so we ate a late lunch and ice cream so I am not sure what we will do tonight. It might be find something and eat it night. Have a great weekend everyone.
 
It's 3:30, and I still don't know....I had thought maybe trying the new Spinach Carbonara Pizza in the S/B...but DH also suggested we might take something in to his parents. (Mom has been in the hospital, and still is VERY restricted in what she can do - ruptured spleen. ouch!)They are pretty traditional eaters - and I don't think they would appreciate my spinach pizza....
 
I usually talk to DH at lunch and he just called he has a tough day so I think pizza and red wine!! for 2
 
30 Minute Chicken. Love it! I guess I could make the biscuits, but I really wanted to take a shower while the chicken cooks. We'll see.
 
Well, it's been decided.

We are taking dinner in to my In-Laws, and since Friday is ALWAYS pizza for them (Usually Pizza Hut - which DH and I dislike immensely) we are bringing them Papa John's.

A Spinach Alfredo Deluxe for our immediate family, and
A The Works pizza for MIL & FIL.

Like music to my ears Becky!!
 
My daughters and I had the mini cheeseburgers! I've made them before from another recipe I had but I thought the way these were cooked was so innovative. I didn't have to heat up the stove and they were ready super quick. I will be demoing at shows, these are a thumbs up!

Too funny - I had lunch there today with my DH! (We don't have too many restaurants by us and it was easy. I ate pasta there.)

We haven't had lunch together without the kids in AGES. My boss let me run out and do that - how nice, huh?!

Dinner, who knows? I got home to DH being gone...haven't heard on the scanner if it was a fire call or medical call because I left my radio at work! :eek: Since I haven't heard diddly in 1/2 hour it's probably a fire...man, missing a good one then! :cry: Oh well, someone has to be the parent!

I was thinking of making a 1/2 batch for the kids since DH is out...glad they are good, maybe I'll go do that now! I just got my SB.

I'm looking at the avocado salsa cups right now for me...hmm...
