Karyn, that just stinks! You should be enjoying your summer! Family drama is so touchy! As small as my family has become, we still have more than I care to deal with!
You're stockpiling Lemoncello?!?! Really?!?!?!
Dinner was a BIG HIT! I made up a double batch of our favorite Creamy Caesar Dressing from the Chicken Roulade recipe. I cut up half a head of Rommaine and a couple handfuls of grape tomatoes. I split my chicken breasts and marinated them in half the dressing for a few hours. I grilled the bacon on a rack over a sheet pan and grilled the chicken. After slicing the chicken against the grain and chopping my bacon, I tossed all in a large bowl with most of the rest of the dressing, and rolled up in flour tortillas. I wrapped tightly in parchment and then plastic wrap and refrigerated until we were ready to eat. They came out like those fancy deli places. William was majorly impressed!
The Strawberry Lemonade Smoothies were a PERFECT balance of strawberries and lemon. William's eyes rolled back in his head! I put the remainder In the freezer for tomorrow. I hope I can set it out for a few minutes and add a little vodka for a predinner cocktail. So refreshing! Lucky me! I bought twice the strawberries that I needed, so I can make this again later in the week! Perfect thing to whip up as soon as we get home to beat the heat of the day and a warm house.
I also want to try it with an equal amount of other fruits that would pair well with lemonade maybe! The balance was perfect! Maybe watermelon? YUM!
