So, I’ve shared one quick recipe, and I’d like to solicit yours. Our church has moved into a new building, and the two services have merged into one that meets at 5p. We usually eat at 6 or 6:30, so it’s really trying us. WE LOVE OUR CHURCH, this is not complaining, I’m just problem solving. I need ideas for things I can pre-make and have on the table in 5 minutes or less.
This is a “summer dinner” perfect for gardeners with lots of tomatoes and basil and everyone who needs to make a quick meal without turning on the oven!
1 pound of pasta: penne, bowties…
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice
4 oz. feta, crumbled
1 pound or so of fresh tomatoes, diced
3 cups or so of chopped rotisserie chicken, chopped (skin removed)
1 cup torn fresh basil leaves
salt and pepper to taste
Cook the pasta. While you are cooking it, prepare the chicken and tomatoes. Toss all the ingredients together. Enjoy! Serves 4+
A few days ago, I took that personality test and was surprised to find myself an ENFP. In college I was always an ENTJ. So, I took another test, and got ENFP again. Learning that Jeannette had a similar transformation (INTJ to INFP) made the pieces start to come together. I’d always heard that motherhood changes you. It changed me, for sure. Leader to Advocate: that sounds about right…
I won a few things for the girls from the Dog Days of Summer giveaways… I’ll post pics when they arrive :)
Monkey Giggles! Congratulations! And thanks to random.org for making a quick drawing possible.

We stopped by Ikea in Atlanta when we drove home from Carolina earlier this month and I was pleasantly surprised to see that Ikea is now charging a nickel for plastic bags! Way to go, Ikea! They’ve also reduced the cost of their big blue bags to $.59 in an effort to get people to buy a reusable bag at the register instead of a plastic one. I was really excited. Well, a shopping trip to Ikea almost always makes me excited, but this was really great icing on the cake.
We’ve hit our flickr limit, and now we need a pro account. *sigh*
I decided to join the mommy bloggers and participate in the Dog Days of Summer Giveaway. I’m giving away a $35 gift certificate to Winged Feet Design. That will cover a design for a photo Christmas card, birth announcement, invitation, etc. to your specifications so you can print it wherever you like and will even cover something towards printing costs for something simple like a change of address announcement. Here are some things I’ve done to give you an idea. (more…)
My dear friend Tulipgirl has just finished her fourth annual Ezzo week. As a veteran of Ezzo’s materials, she’s a great source of information about them.
