Homemade Gatorade

I'm packing my bags and getting ready to race in Napa Ragnar tomorrow! It's a 12 person relay, each of us will be running 3 legs of the race for 24 hours from San Francisco to Calistoga...for a total of 200 miles. So needless to say, I need to be well hydrated!!

Turkey-Mozzarella Ciabatta Sandwich

Two weeks into school, we have a Furlough Day. It's very sad that our teachers/schools have to take an unpaid days here in California due to the economic conditions, but I gotta say...our family wasn't complaining too much. My daughter started 1st grade this year, and even though she was in Kindergarten last year, she was at school only half-days, so we have been having a hard time adjusting to full days (Mommy and kiddos both!). 

Pesto Chicken Roll-ups

 I love it when our grocery store does a buy 1 get 1 free deal on chicken. I cram our freezer full with as much as it can handle, and then we will live off of chicken for a while. So I'm always trying to find new things to make with it. 

Crepes

This is one of the "Ooh-la-la" meals I make for my family. Aren't Crepes fancy? I can't get enough of these. Even though they look light and fluffy, they are very filling. Especially when you throw in Nutella and whipped cream for the sweet ones!

Skillet Lasagna

Our family is craving Lasagna. With all the trimmings. In the middle of the summer with temperatures around 100° F. There's no way we are turning the oven on...especially with our single-paned windows and horribly energy-efficient house. Plus, I want to make something quick, and Lasagna can be pretty labor intensive.
