The Fisher Family Blog: Trader Joes Recipe Series –2 Pollo Asada & Hatch Green Chilies with Jalapeño Cream Cheese

http://sheltiesrun.blogspot.com/2012/07/trader-joes-recipe-series-2-pollo-asada.html

Saturday, July 14, 2012. Trader Joes Recipe Series –2 Pollo Asada and Hatch Green Chilies with Jalapeño Cream Cheese. OK this one is totally cheating, but it was so good. I bought pre-marinated thinly sliced chicken breasts at Trader Joes.  I know, it’s ballsy to write about using food out of a bag, but seriously it was awesome…. Omg These were so easy and so good. Best picture of the night, in my opinion…. Serving was easy, slice chicken, serve in warm tortillas. This made great left overs. Trader Joes ...

The Fisher Family Blog: Safe and Sound

http://sheltiesrun.blogspot.com/2012/07/safe-and-sound.html

Saturday, July 21, 2012. We arrived today in Chicago and have settled in nicely into a rent house in Lincoln Park. We had a lovely Italian dinner and then found Trader Joes and a corner store all just blicks from the house. Thusly supplied with coffee, cereal, milk, wine, beer and Oreos we are back "home". Jacob is happy watching baseball with his grandpa and excited to see dinosaurs and the Egyptian section at the natural history museum tomorrow. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Fisher Family Blog: My Break Up With Pioneer Woman

http://sheltiesrun.blogspot.com/2012/07/my-break-up-with-pioneer-woman.html

Saturday, July 7, 2012. My Break Up With Pioneer Woman. I was on Pioneer Woman trying to figure what I could make for dinner. I saw a recipe for Pasta Primavera. But I didn’t have the ingredients. Like this special olive oil and sea salt butter, in fact it was a paid post that she put up to sell this special butter (nothing wrong with that, just saying). I thought what if I take apart the recipe and think about the actual ideas and techniques? I noticed she put the carrots in first to cook on their own, ...

The Fisher Family Blog: Chicago – Monday, Shedd Aquarium

http://sheltiesrun.blogspot.com/2012/07/chicago-monday-shedd-aquarium.html

Wednesday, July 25, 2012. Chicago – Monday, Shedd Aquarium. Our second full day in Chicago we spent at the Aquarium.  Both children have recently watched A Dolphin Tale, and Anabel is particularly in love with dolphins right now.  Therefore, they have been anticipating this day at the aquarium for a long time. This is the front of the museum. The first thing you come to is a tank full of rays. Here is a Chicago Dog…. Anabel saw me taking food pictures and wanted me to take one of her with her juice.

The Fisher Family Blog: March 2012

http://sheltiesrun.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Friday, March 30, 2012. Sometimes what you want, what you need, is comfort food. And the best comfort food of all in my opinion is homemade macaroni and cheese.  This recipe is adapted from my ”Light and Easy” Cookbook, but truthfully with what I’ve changed around, it’s probably more like “Fatty and a little Cumbersome” – but still, make this, you will love it. While that cooks, mix all this in a big bowl:. 3/4 C sour cream. 15 T melted butter. As soon as the pasta cooks, right away drain it and then put...

The Fisher Family Blog: Trader Joes Recipe Series – 4 Paprika Mediterranean Chicken

http://sheltiesrun.blogspot.com/2012/07/trader-joes-recipe-series-4-paprika.html

Saturday, July 14, 2012. Trader Joes Recipe Series – 4 Paprika Mediterranean Chicken. This recipe was inspired by one over on Macheesmo. But then I changed things up a little by grilling everything instead of baking it and using bone-in chicken instead of boneless breasts. 1/2 Cup olive oil. 2 cloves garlic chopped fine. Pinch of salt and pepper. Marinate the chicken all day in about 2/3 of this mixture. Add a big tablespoon of it to 1 C of plain Greek yogurt. let that sit all day too. Trader Joes Recipe...

The Fisher Family Blog: Seedlings Update

http://sheltiesrun.blogspot.com/2012/07/seedlings-update.html

Saturday, July 7, 2012. My seedlings are all doing wonderfully.  There has been some trial and error over the past few weeks. I had set the seedlings in their little pots out in the back yard. We got a lot of rain and then a few days of strong sun and all but the basil died. The cilantro never even sprouted.  I was so sad. Dill – About 3 weeks old. Basil – About 5 weeks old.

The Fisher Family Blog: Trader Joes Recipe Series 1 – Stuffed Artichokes

http://sheltiesrun.blogspot.com/2012/07/trader-joes-recipe-series-1-stuffed.html

Saturday, July 14, 2012. Trader Joes Recipe Series 1 – Stuffed Artichokes. I have waited a long time for Trader Joes to come to Houston.  It is basically a whole foods type market at Wal-Mart prices.  Well Houston is getting three, and the first one opened up over in the Woodlands and I have been twice. I came home with TONS of veggies and no meal plan. I pretty much bought stuff that looked great and then came home and was like,. Bake until toasty about 15 minutes. . OK, this isn’t the best pictur...

Saturday, April 21, 2012. Kimberly’s Baby Shower. Today I was blessed to be a hostess for my friend Kimberly’s baby shower. The theme was Texas casual and it was a really fun menu to plan. Jalapeno Popper Dip With Texas Crackers. Texas Sheet Cake and Bluebell Ice cream. Oh my, it was all so good. Recipes people! As usual I am in complete awe of the creativity and thoughtfulness of my sweet friends, they really do the most amazing decorations and tablescapes…. Dang I’m short, huh? Favorite shot of the day:.

The Fisher Family Blog: Chicago – Wednesday, Lincoln Park Zoo, ER, & Boat Ride

http://sheltiesrun.blogspot.com/2012/07/chicago-wednesday-lincoln-park-zoo-er.html

Friday, July 27, 2012. Chicago – Wednesday, Lincoln Park Zoo, ER, and Boat Ride. Wednesday morning I took the kids to Lincoln Park Zoo which was just over a mile from our house.  I LOVE being able to walk everywhere.  We walked down Clark street which has a lot of nice restaurants and shops, it’s kind of like South Congress in Austin.  The architecture is so neat here.  The building below is a 7-11. Then we arrived at the zoo, which is absolutely the prettiest zoo I have ever been to, and it’s FREE.
