Brightly Colored Salamanders

Okay, this really isn't vomit on a plate, I promise. It's actually a very tasty crockpot recipe: chicken with stuffing. The chicken breasts go on the bottom, top it with cream of mushroom soup, then put stuffing mix and broth on top, and a few hours later, tender, juicy, tasty chicken! Again, served on our Klassy dixie plates. This whole cooking at home thing is nice, and it's a great way for me to experiment with different foods, but since it's just Josh and I eating, it takes a while for us to fill up the dishwasher. Soooooo, rather than handwash plates, we bust out the paper. We're too refined though to actually use plastic flatware.

Michelle's baby shower day. Her baby boy is due March 18th. Let's hope she goes full-term!

This is what you see driving down Watt Avenue on a weekend night. Thankfully (I'm sure), I had my camera with me. If you can't read what's on his window, it says "F dubs, I got pipes." Yes, yes you do. You also have what appears to be a once-pink flamingo dragging from your bumper too. Moron.

Hand-made sugar hand scrub favors for Michelle's baby shower. With all of the sugar and spices that went into making these, the day that see sugar or smell nutmeg will be too soon... And just when you think you've cleaned it all up, little granules keep appearing. You're lucky I love you, Michelle! ;)

Polenta-Style Corn Casserole. Made in the crockpot, of course. :) With all of the rain we've been having this week, it was a nice, warm comfort food.

Chicken fajitas with a chop salad. Served on our fancy Dixie plates.

I think these Project 365 pictures are turning into "What I Ate For Dinner"....

This dinner was only 8 WW points!

My happy boys! Had I known they'd be content playing with a water jug filled with kibble, we could've saved a TON on dog toys! And no, gramma, that blue bone wasn't placed there for effect. They've torn into that too!

After a year (literally) of asking, Josh finally gets his spicy lasagna. I used ground beef and spicy sausage for the meat sauce and used pepper jack and mozzarella for the cheeses. After cooking, Josh added sliced jalapenos to the top of his piece.

My little heater hogs! Sometimes their tails or ears will actually be in between the bars of the heater thing and they'll sleep right thru it. I don't know how they do it because that thing gets HOT.

Mmmmmmm.....Tin Roof Sundae. As it turns out, we started eating healthy again and ended up tossing the rest of the carton after we'd each had a bowl.

Who uses 500 spoons?? Why, we do!

More of the chili pepper gifts!

Crock pot chili!! It took 2.5 hours to cook in the crock pot and came out amazing! Paired it with some Marie Callendar's corn bread and Josh said it was the best chili he's ever had. Now, I don't know if that's true but it was pretty darn good!

What's wrong with this picture??? NO LICENSE PLATE IS WHAT IS WRONG!!! Some piece of crap person actually STOLE Josh's plate some time between when he got home on Thursday night and when he got home on Friday night. And because it was a vanity plate and it was reported stolen, we can't get the same one. Ever. So now we have to go down to the DMV, give them all of the CHP info, and get new ones. Vanity, of course. Now what to get...what to get...? And you can see my pretty pink jammie pants in the reflection! Okay, so what, I do have my jammie pants on 98% of the time when I'm at home.... HA!

No, we're not feeding a Japanese army. It's for the dogs. We're cutting Legion's protein intake...again....because he's limping....again... I never thought I'd actually hate something so innocuous as rice but when it's stuck EVERYWHERE in the house, I can't help it.

Homemade chicken corn chowder from an awesome cookbook that Josh got me for Christmas. I used the leftover chicken from the roasted chicken we had a couple of days ago, added a few more ingredients to the pan, and voila!! This whole cooking at home every night thing isn't so bad.

Poor Mr. Monkey... This was one of Abbi's favorite toys. He used to have stuffing, wiggly arms, more hair, and a tongue that would uncurl when squeezed. He'd since been loved on so much that he lost all of those things and somewhere along the line, he became a tug toy. Until today...when he was tugged so hard that he lost a limb. We'll miss you Mr. Monkey. No more Abbi Monkey Face...

Updated dog butt picture. Abbi and Hayden are still maintaining their weights of 70 and 60 pounds, respectively, but the Monster is getting HUGE! At last weigh-in, he was 93 pounds...and seven months old.

BAD ABBI!!! No, not really. This is Crouching Dog, Hidden Abbi. She likes to hide under the kitchen table while we're preparing their dinner. Like we can't see her, or something! Crazy dog!!

We've been on a hot cocoa kick lately. A hot mug, a blanket, a dog (or three!) laying with us, the hubs, and a cheesy movie are all things that you'll find in our house on a Friday or Saturday night.

Me being artsy-fartsy with my camera and our space heater.

Little Noelle. She got this pretty pink outfit for Christmas and was loving it. While I wasn't able to got to Big Gramma's for her Christmas, Josh was able to take plenty of pictures to show me.

GASP!! I actually baked cookies. And they turned out pretty cute too!
