My Five Favorite Things for the Week


Strawberry lemonade from Wendy's.
My first favorite for this week I shall blame on Jenny (who introduced me to it!) is the strawberry lemonade from Wendy's.  Oh. My. Goodness.  It is a slice of Heaven on a summer day.


Pepperoni pizza.
This week, not because I didn't have anything else to make for dinner, but just because I wanted Little Caesar's pepperoni $5 pizzas!  Melty, warm goodness!


Peanut butter cookies.
Then it was Friday, our first week of school was done...and I needed a treat.  I picked up Double Stuf Oreos which, yes, are the bomb.  But then I couldn't pass up the peanut butter cookies.  If I have a weakness in the sweet area, it is anything with peanut butter.  It doesn't even have to have chocolate.  Just PB.  Amen.


Elotes.
Friday, I grilled hamburgers and we made elotes.  If you have never tasted an elote, or have no clue what an elote is, you need to find a Mexican elote man...now.  :)
It is corn on the cob - with butter, mayo, parmesan cheese, chili powder and lime juice.


Saturday morning.  
It has taken on a new meaning and it is definitely a favorite this week.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1 cup) 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup mayo 1 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley (optional) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
