Farmers Market and Tasty Tuesday

Nunna came today! We went to the Japanese restaurant again, if I didn't KNOW better I would think I was pregnant. We've been to the Japanese restaurant 3 times in 4 days! I love it and so does Anderson, he could just eat and eat that yummy rice up!

Mom, Toot(my nickname for Anderson) and I headed to Hampstead for their weekly local farmers market. We too go weekly. I LOVE to get fresh veggies, like bell peppers, onions, squash, zucchini and homemade ice cream! Yummy! Hampstead is right down the street from our house and is constructed by the same people who built Seaside and has the same concept. It is so neat! And that is such a generic word, but it just IS!

Every week, they put out a slip and dip. Toot LOVES to watch the kids come barreling down, he screams with laughter!

Okay, on with Tasty Tuesday!(Again, you can click on the recipe if it is underlined and it will give you the instructions!)

Monday: Southwest Chicken Spaghetti from my friend Becky, oh it was Delish!!

Tuesday: Sausage Fruittata ( this was so easy) just follow these easy steps!

Ingredients: 6 eggs(these are fresh from Mom and Bob's neighbor who has chickens on her farm)

1 bell pepper, 1 large onion, 1 tomato, 1 cup of cheese- you can add potatoes and mushrooms if you like:)

Cook your sausage on medium until brown

Set it aside

Put in a tablespoon of olive oil and saute your bell pepper and onions

Whisk 6 eggs and salt and pepper in a separate bowl, pour egg mixture and sausage back into pan over your onions and peppers. Let it cook and DO NOT STIR IT , it should cook on low for 5 minutes, then put it in the oven on BROIL for another 3 minutes and that's it!!!

Wednesday: Ground Beef and Macaroni Casserole

Thursday: left overs from Weds. night

Friday: eat out ;)

Saturday: Southwest Chicken Soup from Darby!

Hope you have a great week!

For I Heard Them Say...

If you are from Dothan you can definitely finish my title of the blog, "For I Heard Them Say, Let Us Go to Dothan". I know that it comes from the Bible, but what in the world was it talking about? Do you know??

Anderson and I decided to go to Dothan last weekend and spend some time with my parents and Adam's parents. We had a blast! We spent Friday with my stepmother, dad, and cousin James(who is 9 and adorable). We swam and rested and generally had a great day!

We also stopped by to see my long time friend Lori Bowdoin who has just gotten remarried to a very nice guy. Her kids are super cute, she has 3 and they range in age from 2-5. She is a stay at home mom and is SUPER BUSY!!! Regrettably, I have no pictures :(

After our afternoon nap(do you do that too, take a nap with your kids?) we headed over to Adam's parents house and then to the mall and Chick-fil-A (Anderson's favorite place to eat) . We also rode the carousel twice! After all of that round and round on the ride, I was dizzy and sick feeling!

The next day, Mom, Anderson and I went to the children's portion of the Dothan Museum of Art, which is really for older kids, but Anderson liked some of the neat artwork they had displayed.

After lunch, we went to Mom's house and took a nice swim. Anderson LOVES to swim so much and I forgot his swim diaper, so he went skinny dipping! I told him this is probably the last time in his life that he could skinny dip and not get arrested if someone saw him! Emma(mom's golden went swimming too!) This is Mom's yard, she makes me SICK!

We had such a great time in Dothan! We'll be back for Jana's wedding on August 14! She moved it so...we'll see you then!

Tomorrow, will be Tasty Tuesday. I've got some rockin' recipes, so hope you'll stop by!

Rainy day and the library

Anderson and I have discovered this little jewel.

That's right the public library, who knew they offered free services such as watching fish in the fish tank (and turtles too), giddy marathon running for little boys(and momma's chasing after them), free books for 3 weeks and a free video to boot! Too cool, public library,too cool!!

Anderson and I decided to go the the library today and get some new books. Since he loves to look at books and I enjoy reading them to him. This was an awesome place to come on rainy days, like we had today! Anderson enjoyed it so much and I did too!!

Anderson enjoyed looking at his new books...



Stepping on them...


After all of our literary critiquing, we settled down for a nap. I say we, because I fell asleep too....for 3 hours! OOPS!!!

And sticking to my menu for this week, I made country fried steak, butter beans and mashed potatoes(home made)

Anderson enjoyed playing in them.....

We finished off our rainy Wednesday with a bath!(yes, that is dog shampoo behind Anderson, I promise we wash out the bathtub real well before we bathe him in here)We're off to Dothan tomorrow, we are getting ready for the blitz of grandparents uh, I mean...fun with grandparents!!

Hope you had a great Wednesday too! :)

*************************

Anderson and I will be in Dothan on Thursday and Friday. My step-sister, Jana, is getting married on Friday. It will be a quick garden wedding and Anderson and I will attend. Our schedule is always so BUSY when in Dothan...whew I get super tired thinking about it!

HOT Mama and HOT Dada

I have been trying to be more of a traditional stay at home mom, who cleans(well, I've always loved to clean), and cooked(which I've NEVER loved to do). Darby has some really great recipes on her blog and I decided to try this one. It was SO FABULOUS-except I tried to add my own kick to it and bought the Spicy Szechuan stir-fry sauce.

Are you kidding me? This stuff was so "spicy"/hot that the FDA should regulate it! Seriously the label should had a warning on it, I'm not kidding. Mine and Adam's lips were burning and swallowing the food was hard, because it burned all the way down. It tasted great, but was FIERY HOT!!!

So we had to take this

and FINALLY we felt better. Adam had to sit out our usual afternoon walk out, because he really felt sick because of the hotness of the sauce- I swear it was still burning in our bellies!! Have you ever royally screwed up on a dish? Come one let's hear it? Make me feel better.:)


***********************

Anderson is 15 months today! I can't believe it! He just keeps getting taller and bigger and I want to holler "S L O W D O W N" !!!
