This one was kind of a long process. I had to pay off a dinner bet to Chris and Erin and I needed it to be bet-worthy. I think this meal worked!
Chicken, spices, roasted and peeled peppers, enchilada sauce, onion, garlic, etc. in the crock pot for 3 hours...

This afternoon Luz came over to play with J so mommy could get a bit of work done. J's favorite activity was giving Luz EVERY SINGLE book from the bookshelf.

Other good meals lately have included Sausage and Zuchinni Rice and tonights Brown Sugar Mustard Glazed Salmon with Green Beans and Wild Rice. YUM...again....I WISH there had been leftovers! Sorry, no picture....it tasted better than it looked! I had some issues getting the salmon done enough and had poked it too much for a good pic!
In other, non-food related news.......
Jaden had his first dentist appointment today. He thought the big chair was pretty cool

And didn't mind having to brush his teeth AGAIN (we had to do it before we went because he had a blueberry stuck in his teeth and you just can't go to the dentist like that!) He did really good - of course, that wasn't hard. I think his visit lasted all of 3 minutes. I wonder how much our insurance company has to pay for that?!?!?!
