Today started off with Nana making cards for Papa with the girls. She always bring lots of fun crafts and the girls enjoy doing them with her.
After the card making session, they took a walk to the park.
While they were gone to the park, I made this
Good for You Greek Salad.
3 large tomatoes, chopped
2 cucumbers, peeled and chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
4 tsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
salt and pepper
4 oz. feta cheese
6 black Greek olives, pitted and sliced
Since this salad recipe was not planned, I had to use a white onion and omitted the olives since I had none. But it was delicious anyway!
Then I whipped up a batch of chocolate chip cookies.
After lunch, we had planned on spending the afternoon at the pool. However, about 10 minutes after getting in, we had to get out because of lightning. We ended up getting our money back and going home. That and getting stuck in traffic from two accidents made for an unprofitable afternoon. :(
However, I tried a new recipe for dinner and really enjoyed it!
Eggplant Pizzas
2 eggs
seasoned bread crumbs
parmesan cheese
oil
1 large eggplant - sliced in 1/2 inch rounds
Dip each round in egg then in the mixture of bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Fry in the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Arrange on a baking sheet.
pizza sauce
mozzarella cheese
Top with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.
I enjoyed these very much! I served them with Southwest chicken strips and the Good for You Greek Salad - chocolate chip cookies for dessert.
Then it was a Silent Auction that Nana put together for the girls and work for Mommy.
Sierra did mention that when it got dark...they would have a Girl Chat Time on the deck. :)
