I apologize for not being around these past couple weeks. I meant to check up on everyone but there have been a lot of meetings and I have been busy with reading some books at home that I am very interested in.
We have been cooking every week and the results are astounding. We discovered that we can cook! I made a paremsan chicken bake the other day and it was wonderful. Mike made a home made pizza and it was one of the best ever. Unfortunately the nutrition facts were just as bad as if we ordered from Pizza Hut. I'm making a greek dish called Pastitsio tomorrow. My para just gave me a wonderful Christmas gift, too. It's a bundle of healthy recipes she picked out for me. I will be making many of them over the two-week break.
This is our last week at school! I don't have a lot planned and very few meetings so I expect to be able to relax a little. The S-Curves are having construction during rush hour (of all times!) so there is a lot of road rage on the way home. The S-Curves are part of a major freeway that everyone and their mother drives to get anywhere. There's not a lot of other options for me so I have to tough it out.
I hope all of you are doing well. I'll try really hard to remember to check in with you this week sometime to see what's new.

Road Rage
I have it so bad! I hate it, too. Yes, I know I can control it, but it sure doesn't feel like it while I'm driving with all these freaking idiots! Okay, wow, rant OVER.
Glad you're almost on your Christmas break. I work til Thursday. Then I'm off Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. It's not two weeks, but it's still great! And I have to use vacay days. But I'm off for six straight days. YAY!
Pizza is soo good. I also like making homemade pizza. I made homemade pizza a lot this year. Mostly cheese because it was there. simple to throw together. and I have learned a few things about it. that letting it rise at room temperature results in a better tasting pizza than putting it in the fridge. And if it weren't for this whole weightloss thing, I would probably make more of it. there is actually a crust you can make with beer in it. i would like to try that.
We made homemade pizza over the weekend too in a healthier version. I told my hubby that I was craving pizza and he offered to make it. He's trying to avoid going out to eat because his cholesterol recently went up and he has to watch his eating now.
Sorry you have to deal with all that construction zone. Hope they'll be done soon and I ended up not blogging sometimes because of a book, so I understand.
Hey girl! It's good to hear from you. Uuummmm, I totally hear about the"cooking". lol Anytime I got adventureous and tried to be healthy iut ended up being worse! EEEKKK! i hate cooking! keep in touch!
Cooking is fun. I like cooking especially if there's someone else around to help eat whatever I make... oh and cooking with someone else is fun too! Hope your Greek dish turned out well. I too have been somewhat busy with other stuff and haven't been posting as much, so I wouldn't be one to say much about that one... but I'm glad to hear that you're doing well and have been happy! Yay for the last week before holidays!
