Whew, it's Sunday! I made it. A week full of sleepless nights, breathing treatments, doctor appointments and a strict medicine schedule. All because my sweet puddin had RSV. It started as a cough with a fever. In the top picture to the right is what happens to Liam when he has a fever. Complete unconsciousness. You could slap him silly, hang him upside down and he will not even crack an eye open. It's kinda freaky. He was such a sad sight. I put a cold wash cloth on his forehead, rocked him until we both almost fell asleep, and catered to his every whimper because that's what mommies do right? I hate seeing my boys sick. Just hate it!

Dinner Last week

So I have come to realize that cooking is one of my passions. I really enjoy it and love to improve my skills and make new things. I wanted to make a cook book last year for Christmas but didn't really think it would be that involved..NOT!! I am definitely going to finish it at some point and have just recently discovered I book company that I want to go with. So hopefully I will be able to check this off at the end of the year. I made other things this week for dinner but they just don't look as good in a photo as these. On the left is Carne Asada Taco's with homemade salsa. These are Cameron's favorite and usually if he has a really bad craving he will help me with all of the chopping. Homemade salsa is sooo worth it!! On the top right are Grilled Pineapple Chicken Quesadillas. They have fresh cilantro and monterey jack cheese. The pineapple is fresh and grilled along with marinated chicken. I usually use Teriyaki sauce for the chicken. Then I heat up the tortillas on a skillet with melted butter. They are like good potato chips you cannot stop with one. On the bottom right is Creamy Penne with Shrimp. I use fresh Basil and Parsley and mix tomato sauce with some heavy cream, white wine, and LOT's of garlic. It is divine! After my first bite I sighed and tried to enjoy every bite, and tried to ignore my little punks sitting at the table with me.. the screaming, throwing of food, spitting out the food, putting the food in hair, putting the food ... well never mind you get the picture(;
