I wanted to take a moment and respond to one of the comments made this week. Jenny wrote, "I wish I was one of your kids! I would love this!! I am burnt out on cooking for my family. They do not like what I make. I finally told Matthew last night he and the girls were going to make out the menu because I was tired of nobody liking what I make!"
I say, "Thanks! My kids should feel lucky." Unfortunately, I think my kids would prefer to have mac and cheese and chicken nuggets every night of the week. Or tacos. That brings me to the lack of new recipes for the last half of this week. After the Pork medallions, we had tacos. I made them healthier by using ground turkey at least, but I did try something new as well. My family is always complaining that the meat is too "chunky". That I don't chop it up enough while it is cooking. So, after cooking it I put it in the blender and hit puree. Yes, I guess I was just a little upset about all the complaints and wanted to prove a point. It looked absolutely disgusting. But it still tasted like taco meat. Needless to say, I don't think they will complain about the "chunky" meat ever again. (I'm sitting here laughing just thinking about it.)
Then last night we had our French Toast. I really do love that meal. Anyway, I now have the second loaf of bread waiting for another meal, so this weekend I will make the final two meals on the menu--Angel Hair Pasta with Eggplant tomato sauce with french bread , and BBQ chicken with grilled sweet potatoes.
I also wanted to report on my running this week. I'm still in the starting again phase and so stopped to walk at least once each time I went out. Yesterday I ran and pushed my two year old in the stroller (I should mention it was a cheap umbrella stroller, so I wasn't moving very fast being terrified he would go flying out at some point.) That is brutal! My hats off to all those people who run with strollers and still finish way before me! My arms ached so bad by the time I got home that I actually took a nap when he did! Even though it was hard I still logged 12.7 miles total! I need to plunk some money down on some races to keep me going!

Good job with the running! I was also laughing at the idea of putting ground meat in the blender...yuck! But I've heard that before as well...too chunky, too crunchy, too burnt, too hot...etc. I made the baked ziti a few nights ago and it was a hit! Everybody ate it and LIKED it! Yay! Thanks!!
I'm so glad your family liked it! See, if I get at least one good recipe on here each week that helps someone out I feel like I've accomplished something. :) Thanks for letting me know it was worth posting.
