Dress Up

Even though we don't have a little girl, we have been lucky enough to have a very imaginative boy.

He loves to play dress up with whatever is around him.

He loves to make up stories and hear stories.

He's definitely his own person.

So here are a few of his dress up moments through out his three years.

Lakeside Tavern

Our friend Susan took us to dinner at Lakeside Tavern on Sunday night.
It was a beautiful setting and a great restaurant.
I got some cute pics of Rupert and Chris and we also let Ru take some pictures to fill his time until dinner arrived.

Here are the Rupert pics (except the ones of him saying NOOOO, I took those):

Chicken Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie

So easy and so good.

I also found that it's damn versatile as well!

I usually think of pot pie as a fall or winter food.

My cravings change drastically with the seasons and winter foods put me off when its 80.

Anyhoo, we went to Mom and Dads for dinner on Sunday and they made chicken pot pie.

They also had tons of left overs and left overs for a whole other pie, so they sent it home with us.

Last night I decided to toss it together and this is how it went.

2 cups of cooked, chopped chicken

1 bag frozen mixed veggies, thawed

1 can fat free cream of mushroom soup

1 cup shredded parmesan

1/2 cup milk

2 tbsp rosemary

1 tbsp thyme

Garlic salt and black pepper to taste

Mix it together, toss it in a crust.

Bake it at 350 for an hour.

Voila!

It was creamy but not heavy and the rosemary and thyme made the flavor brighter.

Home cooked and healthy-ish!
