Remember when you used to say TGIF?
It seems so long ago…
I am changing it to ONIF (OH NO IT’S FRIDAY!!!)
That’s right. I said it. Weekends suck!
It just means there are more people home to cook for, clean up after and drive to and from activities.
As you know we have a seasonal business. That means we are BUSY right now 🙂 This is good of course but it also means that Ninja and Dad work weekends most often and I am Mom, coach, chef, chauffeur and housekeeper.
This morning the rain finally cleared up and HBear had soccer.
After soccer I had to run to Walmart for a few things so we had McDonalds for lunch. Oh yeah I am an A+ Mom! LOL
We quickly ran home for a change of clothes and a bum change and then it was off to HBear’s dance class.
Of course HBear had to sit out during rehearsal due to the fact that her McDonald’s was “jumping around in my belly” and now ALL the dance moms know what a stellar Mom I am! LOL
Total change of subject but yesterday I googled my blog. I was on my phone and I don’t have the shortcut so I actually had to look for it lol. I was amazed to see that I have been featured on other people’s blogs!!!
HERE and HERE and HERE
That is pretty exciting!!
I even saw a post on Google+ that described my beer and bacon jam as an amazing treat for the experienced chef! WTF? Hee Hee
Which leads to me to this…
Ok so obviously I have made these before… they are soooo good I need to post them again LOL You can find the original post HERE. I did change it up a bit this time and made MORE of this amazing bacon jam. I mean come on, it is called bacon jam, how can you go wrong? LOL
When my sister and BIL were here over Easter weekend Ninja got this dinner ready while we went for pedis/manis. 🙂
4 red onions, finely diced
6 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup red wine vinegar vinegar
8 ounces dark beer
1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
Cook over medium low heat for about 20 minutes until the onions have reduced considerably and caramelized.
2 cups Kraft Creamy Herb & Garlic Shredded Cheese
Lightly drizzled fries with oil, sprinkle with salt and put onto a greased cookie sheet.
I didn’t take good pictures because it is so hard to when 5 adults and 3 children are trying to get to the table and eat. By the time I got the kids dished and cut up… half the food was gone already LOL. The pictures do not do this meal justice!!! This salad was served at my Mom’s celebration of life and EVERYONE has asked me for the recipe. Yup it was that good!
