Tonight for dinner I am making chicken burgers with mac salad:chef:



Hoping for sun today :)
 
Orange Chicken from Costco. We were going to have it last night, and then I didn't feel like making it (how pathetic is that? - All I would have needed to do is toss it in the oven and make some rice.) I don't know if DH's buddy(ies) are coming over for dinner, either. But because I have a whole box of the chicken (2 batches) I can make more if I need to. I hope it's just us, though. I'm working on MIL's scrapbook (Mother's Day present) and have paper and Cricut stuff all over the dining room table.
 
Steaks on the barbie! First day of no rain (so far) in days and days
 
Mmmmmm, Rennea - we are having Turkey Burgers on the grill, but I was wondering what to have with them. Macaroni Salad it is!Okay - change mine to sizzlers on the grill. DH didn't want turkey burgers. He rarely makes requests like that, so I try to accommodate him when he does. :)

I wish! No, I just appreciate them. :D I've made them before, but was always wary of the "freshness", so I skip the worry and get take out instead.

She was a sweetie with a giggle always waiting to escape. Good memories....I miss her
