Ramen Noodle Monday

On Mondays my hubby works open to close, and I always pack him a tasty lunch for the day. I thought Monday would be a great day to save a little time and money on my lunch too. I’ve decided to institute Ramen Noodle Mondays. To kick off the fun and easy lunch I picked up a few of my all time favorite Cheese Ramen, and a Spicy Chili Lime Shrimp Ramen.  I hope to check out a few other flavors too. Monday seems to be my busiest day around here, and I can always use a quick and easy lunch 😉

Do you have a favorite Ramen, or a quick and easy lunch recipe to share?

Happy Flag Day and a Trip to the Market

We made a trip trip to the Farmer’s Market. Thade was up early and ready to go. It is a quick walk from our house, and both of the boys look forward to the outing

We got to the Farmer’s Market earlier than last week, and there were about eight vendors today. I stopped and chatted with one of the ladies and she told me of some the other vendors that bring in fresh cheese and milk, but you have to get there early. She also gave the boys an American Flag each to wave for Flag Day, the boys were thrilled with the flags, and Dylan is walking his flag all over the house.

Thade was happy with the trip to the Farmer’s Market, he got to pick up a chocolate cupcake for $.50

Dylan was happy to go along for the ride, and he loved the Amish Horse and Buggy : )

I’m pretty excited about all of the buys. I picked up some Strawberry Freezer Jam, Apple Butter, a Chocolate Cupcake for Thade’s Snack, and some Local Honey. I hope the honey will help out with Thade’s allergies, and mine too, either way it will be tasty on toast ; )

Spring Veggies

How I wish these were from my garden ; ) My Mom visited us on Wednesday, and brought us some delicious veggies from her favorite Farmer’s Market. One Yellow Squash didn’t make it in to the picture, I made tasty Squash Couscous for lunch.

Thade had such a fun time at our local Farmer’s Market last weekend. He made a request for us to walk down there tomorrow morning. I hope to get there a little early, and maybe find some Strawberries, and of course those delicious Cinnamon Rolls.

I finally got my garden planted this week, so I hope to have some tasty veggies soon. Thade can’t wait to help out in the garden, and he even said he would try a veggie or two.

Ice Cream at Your Door

Yesterday Dylan was finally down for his afternoon nap, and I was making the mad dash to get all of my afternoon chores accomplished. Thade was in the living room and he said that he could hear pretty music, I quickly realized that the pretty music was the Ice Cream Truck 🙂 Thade and I ran to the front door and the Ice Cream Truck was parked right behind my car, so I picked him up and we headed outside.

Thade was thrilled with the unexpected treat 🙂 I had to pick up a Bomb Pop for James and me too. I took a little break from the chores, and enjoyed the ice cream.

The Perfect Breakfast

My Mom and I were on the phone yesterday (a.m.) and we got on the subject of breakfast. I usually skip breakfast, and go for a cup or two of coffee, and she makes a big bowl of yummy& healthy good for her Oatmeal. I have a lot of food allergies, so many of the grab and go breakfast items like wraps, and Egg McMuffins, I have to pass on. I’m allergic to eggs and milk, so that leaves me pretty much with Toast and Coffee for a speedy breakfast.

We used to live in a lovely city that had a Waffle House, and on their menu is one of my dream breakfasts. One Cheese Omelet with Cinnamon Raisin Toast, and of course you can add in a Ice Cold Coke if that’s what you’re into 😉 I gave in once, and was really really really sick. I’m also a fan of Scrambled Eggs, and I make some pretty mean ones. I gave in once into my temptation for Scrambled Eggs, while I was pregnant with Thade, and I was really really really sick. I haven’t eaten an egg since…

Later that morning my hubby called and said that he would bring home Breakfast, so I ordered one of my favorites 🙂

Sausage Roll, Glazed Donut, complete with an Ice Cold Coke 🙂

I didn’t say that it was the healthiest of breakfasts, but it is probably my favorite one.  YUM 🙂

What about you… Do you have a favorite breakfast or a great recipe to share? Or are you like me, coffee only please 😉
