Menu Plan + a couple of updates

Once again, I am late on posting our eats for the week. It's going to be an easy week as far as cooking goes.

Monday:Breakfast. Jade had to work late and it was just the girls & I. I had a trunk full of groceries that needed to be put away. While I did that, the girls feasted on fresh fruit, cereal and pop tarts. I let Reyna choose what breakfast foods that her and Ruby were going to eat. She was beyond excited I had picked up pop tarts.

Tuesday:Ribs,salad & herb& olive oil noodles. I am only in charge of the salad and noodles. Jade is always in charge of the grills. Normally, Tuesday =tennis night but, not when you have an appointment with the orthapedic surgeon tomorrow...Yeah. Saturday, he was playing tennis and he hurt it pretty bad. There was a pop when it happened. Wednesday was the soonest I could get him in w/out going to the ER, which he did not want to do. It's swollen + black & blue. To top it off, his normal Ortho Ped Surgeon (yes, he has had a few breaks) is gone until March, which left us scrambling to find a new one. Anyway.....back to food. Let's hope he is okay. I will update more later.

Wednesday:Ziti +garlic toast & steamed veggies

Thursday:chili + corn bread

Friday:Leftovers

I am also putting together some yummy fresh corn salsa to snack on this week. It's sooo easy:
1 1/2 lb. firm ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 medium jalapeno pepper chopped (I omit this b/c of the girls)
1 cup fresh corn
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1/4 chopped cilantro
1/4 cup Italian dressing

Enjoy with tortilla chips!

ALSO:I made the decision to turn this blog public again. Sorry to be a pain, but if you would like to update your reader, you can change it back to jadelesliecollins.blogspot.com
I recently found out that my favorite reader was no longer reading and after some thought, it has been switched back.

I have been so bad at reading blogs.. especially when they are private. I don't think i even contacted you to even read yours, Im that far behind. I haven't Nicki's, or Jessica's in so long too... But at least I keep up somewhat in facebook with all you private bloggers. But I will say, Im glad to see you pop up in my reader again. :)

I'm glad you went public again. I am terrible and following private ones. I never ended up going private after I said I would for this reason. Glad to see regular updates from you again :)

There you are! I couldn't see your blog anymore and I was very sad. Next time, take me with you, please :)
Hope all is well with you, I"ll be doing some catch up to see what you've been up to.

I hope Jade's appointment went well! My kiddos are PopTart freaks as well - I was able to find some organic ones for C.ooper to avoid the dye . . . he would eat them morning, noon, and night if I let him!
