Busy Weekend

Of course, this is usual for May. Friday was Scott's birthday. Some of his cousin's took us out for dinner at St. Elmo's Steakhouse in Indy. It was really good. We had reservations for 8:00, but it was so packed due to the Indy 500 that we actually had to wait until about 8:40 before they took us to our seat. We started out with their famous shrimp cocktail. They have a special recipe sauce that has horseradish in it. It gives it a little "kick" going down. We both ordered huge steak dinners and joined the clean plate club. Needless to say, there wasn't any room for dessert.
On Saturday, we ventured to Napoleon for our godson's first birthday party (yes there are pics, but as usual, I have to wait to download them). It was a blast. I can't believe he's one already! His older brother's birthday was April 23 so we had a celebration for both of them. Kyle and Lindsay also just moved into their new house, so it was sort of a housewarming celebration as well. Landon just turned three so he's at a really fun age. He (along with a few of his cousins) couldn't keep their hands out of the icing on the dumptrucks in the cake. It was actually quite hilarious. (you'll see this in the pics as well, very silly).
Today, of course, is mother's day. We invited Scott's parents and my parents over for a cookout. We enjoyed a "make your own" salad bar followed by barbecue chicken, pork chops, hash brown casserole, fruit salad, cake, and pie. I am so lucky to have such a great mom and mother-in-law. Happy Mother's Day to you both!

Awesome Recipe

So, I've been trying to find recipes that are healthy, yet taste good. I think that's the almighty purpose of all recipes...right? I finally came across this great chicken dish that I must admit I've been avoiding because I wasn't sure how the combination would taste. It's very simple. You make up some whole wheat spaghetti. Cook a skinless, boneless chicken breast in the skillet with a little olive oil. Sautee some chopped green peppers and onions in your skillet with the chicken. Mix all of that with your spaghetti. Pour a half a cup of salsa over top of the chicken mixture. It is delish!! I love all of these ingredients individually, but have never thought to put them together...until now :)
