dinner of the day 1-25-09

my last minute squash casserole
this was a "oh no, it's 4 and i have no idea what i will cook and no meat defrosted.."
so i looked through the fridge freezer and pantry and here's what i came up with
saute 1/2 and onion , 2 cloves garlic and 1 diced bell pepper in olive oil-
put in casserole dish with about 2-3 cups frozen corn and two med chopped yellow squash and two zucchinis chopped. next pour on one can creamed corn, then one can diced tomatoes and finally 2 cups shredded Monterrey jack. bake at 350 or 30-40 min
and what you have is something light with a little kick. i served it with warm tortillas.

Grocery day

yuck. grocery day. it can be quite a chore taking four kiddos to the store. there is always some point in the trip where both sebastian and lucca are crying, and i know someone around me is thinking- why on earth does she have so many kids.but, hey thats what its like living in a high tech town. four is a huge family. I still think it is small in the scheme of things. i mean, people have 12 kids- i only have 1/3 of that!!.haha
but seriously TLC is running a great series called "kids by the dozen" with stories of different large families. last night's family had -get this- 13, yes thirteen BOYS and one girl. as you can well imagine sports were a big part of their day...haha again
SPEAKING babies, i just learned that my only sister in law, Rashana is pregnant with #2!!! yay!!!!
she is due in nov, as are two of my good friends. must be something in the water:)
