Breakfast.

I decided if I was going to have a chocolate croissant and splurge on a latter, I might as well be civilized about it!

Random meal.

chicken with tarragon mustard cream sauce.

We made it because the tarragon in our garden looks like this:

Its growth is second only to that of the mint (which is growing in the MIDDLE of our pathway??)

Pizza

Hamburger, green chiles, corn and cilantro + pizza = delicious!

Mother's Day

Lulu is old enough that she's really starting to get into Mother's Day and I have to say, I totally dig it. She insisted I have breakfast in bed and wanted me to eat dinner in bed, too!  (I think watching me eat dinner in bed back in April of 2013 after I got back from the ER with a kidney stone really made an impression because now she thinks that's like a really special event??).

So, I enjoyed a tasty breakfast, compliments of my loving husband who was woken up early to make my breakfast.

But, I can't say that I enjoyed the kitchen afterwards...?

And my family got me a beautiful necklace that I adore and wear often!



And later that afternoon, when Gropius took Lulu with him to work/play outside and I had some quiet time to myself (the best present of all!), I made myself a tasty almond cake.





Happy Mother's Day, everyone!

Spaghetti with Leeks

Easy, quick weeknight dinner that cooked together in one pot.  Can't beat that with a stick.

Dr Pepper Brisket

Compliments of The Homesick Texan's blog.  We followed her lead and made soft tacos the first night and then used the leftovers for nachos.

Delish!

kosher for Passover with GF tortilla chips, if you ignore that whole dairy-meat mixing thing!

CFS

otherwise known as chicken fried steak.  Best comfort food ever made!
