Freezer meals, Mac's travel, and more

After girls night, Tiff and I skimmed through the freezer meal cookbooks, and selected 6 recipes. They are:

Caribbean Pork Tenderloin
Mariachi Chicken Rolls
Beef Barley Soup
Dave’s Swamp Blues BBQ Chicken
Chicken in Herbed Mustard Sauce
Beef Stir-Fry (no peanut butter)

The bottom two are from Dream Dinners, while the others are from Fix, Freeze, Feast. Tiff is going to tackle the Chicken in Herbed Mustard Sauce and the Beef Stir-Fry, while I’m going to tackle the Beef Barley Soup and BBQ Chicken for my meals, and then Amber is going to tackle the Caribbean Pork Tenderloin and Mariachi Chicken Rolls.

We're planning to have them ready by February 9th, so we can exchange at Dream Dinners, well, outside of Dream Dinners, and I'm going to get to work on at least the BBQ Chicken this weekend.

Mac's flight from Albany leaves at 6 AM tomorrow morning, so he'll miss breakfast at the hotel. I called and asked them if they could possibly leave a grab and go bag in his room today, so he'll have that for tomorrow morning. Yes, I worry. Yes, I know, he's capable of grabbing breakfast between flights in Atlanta. He'll have time, as he has almost 3 hours, but still. I figure that he can have a snack on his way to the airport, since he'll have to leave so early, and then can have breakfast in Atlanta.

I'm not sure if we'll have lunch or not. That depends on how crazy my schedule is. I'm hoping it'll be fairly slow, but I'm not sure about that.

Tiff headed to my house last night, and helped me start going through some things in the attic. We filled 1 of our garbage cans, Tiff took 2 bags of stuff home, and I have 3 bags for Goodwill and a box of purses and shoes for Dress for Success. We didn't even touch most of the attic!

We also decided on food for the Soda Stream House Party! I'm going to prepare:
Tastefully Simple Lemon Fruit Dip
Taco Dip
Fruit
Cupcakes

Tiff is going to pick up or prepare:
Cheese & Crackers
Lunch meat
Spanakopita
Chips & Salsa
Chex Mix

We're figuring that we'll have plenty of food. I'm very excited for it!

A Whirlwind Weekend in LA!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Overnight Reputation for IZEA . All opinions are 100% mine. A few years ago, I was given the opportunity to spend a weekend in Los Angeles. I arrived on Friday morning, and returned home on Sunday evening! Talk about a crazy weekend, and oh, the jet lag!!! I drove the employees at the hotel crazy, because I wanted to know why, at 3 AM, the internet wasn't working! Then, by 7 PM, I was ready for bed! Even with those issues, I loved my stay! Sunshine, warm weather, gorgeous skies, and gorgeous views! When I travel, I sometimes have a tough time not having every second of every day planned out in advance. I want to do touristy things, but I also realize that the "locals" know far more about the good places to eat (the ones that stay in business because their food is amazing, not just because the tourists frequent it), the neat sights to see, etc. This is where Justin Sather enters the picture ( http://www.justinsath

Introducing Mauser, Our New Family Member

On Thursday evening, I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and saw that a friend's dog page had shared a photo and description for a 10-year-old Belgian Malinois at Manhattan Animal Care & Control. Named Jackson, he was set to be killed after 12 PM on Friday. Mac and I talked at length about it, and on Friday morning, I bit the bullet and paid for his adoption fee online, reserving him for us. If we didn't pick him up in Manhattan on Saturday afternoon, he would still be euthanized, and I'd forfeit the adoption fee. So, Mac and I ventured up to Manhattan on Saturday, arriving around 2 PM. Knowing how quick to kill the NY AC&Cs can be, I was braced for a horrible trip. I'd heard stories of how the employees would try to discourage adoptions, and how they'd deny adoptions if you didn't bring everything with you, and I was prepared for the issues, including them possibly saying that for whatever reason, we couldn't adopt him, and they were going to

Travel Without Leaving Home!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Erik Pitoniak for IZEA . All opinions are 100% mine. Do you like to travel? Does the cost of travel prohibit your wanderlust? Do you have responsibilities at home, and you can’t leave for long? If you are like me, and can’t afford to travel the globe, or you have family responsibilities like I do, you need to live vicariously through someone else to satisfy your wanderlust! I have the perfect solution for that! Visit this website, and read about someone else’s journeys across the globe! Snuggle up with a cup of coffee or an adult beverage, and read all about Erik Pitoniak ’s travels! Travel along with him while avoiding all of the hassles of TSA lines, flight delays, being crammed into a metal tube with 200 of your closest friends, and having someone’s seat-back in your lap as they recline!
