More to Share on Scheels & Another Easy Prep dinner from TJ's

We drove home today from Truckee. The kids, of course were reluctant to leave....they had so much fun. The conversation on the drive home was more talk of our 'field trip to Scheels' and how amazingly awesome it was. I wanted to share some more photos with you and also encourage you to visit if you ever get the chance.....you will not be disappointed. My camera couldn't fit the entire building into the frame.....

More attractions inside.... Bull Elk........Wow! Bryce is learning about how the Antelope play...... Friends, Cindy & Logan rode the indoor Ferris Wheel...... Bryce, picking out some T-Ball necessities......

Camo attire.....everyone needs some!

Attire for the girls....... Already looking forward to the next visit.

After a weekend trip, it's always great to have some easy to prepare dinners on hand, that way I am able to fit in unpacking, laundry and everything else that needs attending. I just love these easy to prepare dinners that I find at Trader Joe's! Chicken Teriyaki with broccoli and rice. You can find the Chicken Teriyaki in the freezer section of Trader Joe's. Just heat the chicken in the microwave for about five minutes. Heat the sauce for about two minutes....

I had some broccoli in the fridge that was on it's last leg, so I steamed a pot full..... Add the chicken, sauce and broccoli all together...... Whole grain brown rice......... If anyone knows of a healthier rice that's quick to cook, I would love to hear about it! All goes well with a glass of wine...... Happy Monday!

How to Cook Anything

The How Cook Anything Feature ~ Have you ever opened up your refrigerator or pantry to find them half full of ingredients that you don't know how to tie together for a dish? Or, maybe you need a new recipe idea? I think I can help you out. Check out the new feature I added....located on the right called 'How to Cook Anything'. I love this handy feature! Just enter any ingredients such as broccoli, soy sauce and click 'cook it' and it will take you to a list of ingredients where you will again click on broccoli and soy sauce and anything else you would like to add. Then click 'Find recipes' and up pops up a number of different recipes. It's a fun feature. I'm going to try it out right now. I've entered broccoli, pasta & tomatoes. I was then taken to a list where I checked marked the type of pasta - I chose penne then broccoli & tomatoes. I then clicked 'find recipes' and this is one of the recipes that came up: Penne with Broccoli Rabe, Tomatoes and Parmesan Ingredients 12 ounces penne pasta 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 4 garlic cloves, chopped 2 bunches broccoli rabe, chopped 8 anchovies, chopped 3/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper 1 pound tomatoes, diced 1 cup chopped fresh basil, divided 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese Preparation Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain; return to same pot. Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté 30 seconds. Add broccoli rabe, anchovies, and crushed pepper; sauté until broccoli rabe is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and 1/4 cup basil. Add vegetable mixture and lemon juice to pasta; toss to coat.Transfer pasta to large bowl. Add remaining 3/4 cup basil and 3/4 cup cheese; toss to blend. Season pasta to taste with salt and pepper. Serve, passing remaining cheese. Cow Fact~ It only takes the cow’s body about two days to process her food into milk Pin It
