A little of this, a dash of that


I've never been a Monday person, but I think it's starting to grow on me a little more. As a teacher, the kids are usually pretty subdued and relaxed. I kind of like the slow pace--people for the most part are on the same page. 

Anyways. I took a blog-cation last week because we pretty much ate leftovers all week. I did learn how to transform a corn tortilla into a tostada, which was pretty neat. I just let it dry out for 30 minutes on the counter, and then baked it at 350 degrees for 16ish minutes (flipping halfway through). Our oven is really fast though. I am always decreasing recipe baking times by at least 5-10 minutes.

This week is pretty boring also. I planned based on what we had so that I didn't have to go grocery shopping this week. :o)

monday :: baked potato night
tuesday :: meatloaf with rosemary roasted potatoes [I just realized I do not have the main ingredient and will have to go to the store after all. boo.]
wednesday :: easy mexican chicken & beans
thursday :: tortellini with meat sauce + salad
friday :: out of town for a work event of Tyson's

Well, I have lots of cleaning to get done. My sister-in-law and her husband were in town this weekend and then we watched the Masters all afternoon yesterday, so my to do list has gotten pretty long. Have a great week--be praying for teachers this week; it's an extremely stressful time right now with TAKS and everything going on with the state. But God is bigger! That is my mantra right now.
