I love running when it is is hot.
I hope to one day run a real a marathon...one day.

I am getting a new storm door, we have it, I am just waiting for Home Depot to put it up.  we apparently have have an odd door way...lol....

I had a lot of fun this weekend with my daughter, we went shopping and had lunch together.  Our mother daughter time is so very special and I cherish those times. 

Have any of you heard about the Chris Watts case?  I am obsessed with this case...I just can't fathom it..it totally baffles my mind. 

My home is all decorated for Fall and I love it!!!
Fall is a favorite of mine :)

Chicken Bwak Bwak and Salad

 Good evening!!

Happy Thursday my people!

I hope you are having a glorious week.

Tonight was Chicken BWAK BWAK!!  I have made this dish several times.

First served is the salad...loaded with all sorts of veggies...fresh avocado is added along with shredded cheese!!

Next, is the entree!

Super easy, just egg noodles and leftover shredded chicken...in this dish, I added mushrooms that I had on hand.

You can even put some Parmesan cheese on it...scrumptious :)

Salt and pepper to taste !!

*Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes*

We had meatloaf and mashed potatoes one day last week

With lots of gravy

With homemade mashed potatoes, lumps and all....tee hee!!!
 

A little bit of green.....yummy green beans!!!

I love my white dishes...I think home cooked meals look so pretty against the whiteness of the plate.

What color plates do you have?  Prefer?

Everything is better with lots, and lots of gravy!!

I even found vegan gravy at the store :)

Green beans are one of my favorite veggies!!!
SOOOOO yummy and low carb too!

Meatloaf, homemade by me with lots of love.  Love is my main ingredient in all my dishes...
