Pizza Cupcakes and a Rainy Afternoon

Thursday, September 14 - School day 21.  I had a ton of dishes to do from the night before.  I swear we dirty so many dishes in this house.  I did the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and swept.  Put a load of laundry in the washer and fold the towels in the dryer.

I needed to finish up with the front lawn.  I did the trimming for all the front.  I outlined the front lawn and then Sierra mowed.  I then had to clean up all the lawn debris-grass, dirt, etc. from the street and sidewalk.  I really need to get a leaf blower cause I look ridiculous with my broom and dustpan.  Ha!  But I don't care - it looks so good!  I can't stand it when people leave all the dead grass and debris on the street and sidewalks.  I was completely drenched in sweat but I do love outside work the most.








Shortly after we finished, we had a storm roll in, and here came the rain.  Another soaker!  Glad we got it all done!  I just LOVE afternoon summer thunderstorms!





Worked on my blog a little in the afternoon.  It is the perfect feeling to have your work done (even if it is just for a couple hours) and enjoy sitting in a clean home, enjoying the rain, and doing something pleasant like blogging. :)

Autumn had requested pizza cupcakes and apple pie enchiladas so that is what I made for dinner.  The pizza cupcakes were pretty good, I have to say!  They are a super easy dinner and kids will enjoy them.  I pair them with a side salad and it is a quick and easy meal. :)

The girls and I sat around at the dining table and chatted.  Cleaned up the kitchen and finished the dishes.  Walked Max.

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.
