What's For Dinner, Mommy?

I know I'll hear that sentence before I know it, so I may as well get used to it, right? For those who don't know me, I'm the ultimate slacker when it comes to cooking. Plan ahead? Nah. I constantly forget to take stuff out of the freezer. Fortunately, though, there is a remedy for forgetfuls like me.



Lazy slacker brain I have, I recruited my crockpot. To make things even simpler, I put a liner in the pot to quicken the cleanup (just like putting foil in the dishes I bake in) and finally tossed in the tropical marinade. Next, I plopped (ok, not really) two frozen chicken breasts in the pot and turned it to high power. Dropped the lid on and 4 hours later...



Total yumminess!



Paired with an 88-cent bag of frozen veggies, here's the finished product. *drool*

Jessy... Sittypants?

Oh. Geez. It's been howwwww long since I've blogged? Yeesh. Too long. I am terribly sorry for my absenteeism here. I know, there's getting to be a pattern... I blog alot then just fall off the face of the earth. But such is the life of a working mom. Ew.  I've thought of firing myself from the realm of blogging, but I don't think that would be a wise idea. I just enjoy this blogging thing too much! Even if I don't have some readers left after all this time, I cooooouuuuuld pick up a few more, right? Riiiiiight? *crickets chirping*

Since K and I are trying to save some major $$ and pay some bills off so I can enter the realm of stay-at-home-momhood, I am trying to figure out some cool, healthy and yummy budget meals. Fortunately, things diet-wise are pretty easygoing for us- no allergies or anything like that, but I still like to use the "sinful stuff" (read: alcohol, fats, sugars, pretty much all the stuff we love to love) in moderation. We try to keep sodium low so I'm less likely to turn into the Goodyear Blimp during, ahem, *that* time of the month. I am definitely going to try to post more recipe ideas here... stay tuned! ;)

Now, for the topic that's not for dinner, or dinner. Jessy! And you thought I would actually write a post that didn't mention our own Crown Jewel, Her Royal Snowiness. She is now 24 weeks old- 5.5 months old. She has her next checkup with the doc in a little under 2 weeks. Jessy can sit pretty darn good with support, as evidenced by the pics below. Enjoy!

 She's growing up so fast!

 Nom, nom nom!

Oh yeah, did I mention she's already trying to crawl?

No words needed.
