Delicious Dinner and One Sleepy Puppy

{take a looksie at my cute Oil & Vinegar set from Home Goods}

Last night I made a delicious dinner that I just had to share. Mr. SE handles the Asia Pacific accounts for his company and works late on Tuesday nights to compensate for the time difference. The good news: we get to sleep in until 11ish in the middle of the week. Bad news: he doesn't come home until 9pm at the earliest. So on Tuesday nights I've been making slack-ass meals for myself. No more. I'm going to try and make a simply, healthy meal every Tuesday from now on.

Last night I picked up some fresh Perdue chicken tenders. Coated them w/olive oil, dried rosemary, salt, pepper and baked them in the over. Used my bagged greens and sliced up a red pepper. Drizzled oil and vinegar on top of the greens and placed chicken tenders on top. End result: delicious perfection! I ate my fancy feast on a tray table and watched the CMT Awards.

One last this I felt compelled to share. Duffie has found a new home in my closet. Our closets are particularly small, so I've started using the one in our 2nd bedroom (office). The closet aligns next to my desk and Duffie now enjoys curling up at the end with my dresses. Too cute to NOT take a picture! Yes, those are my scrapping supplies. We had the carpets cleaned yesterday and had to get everything off the floor. {see her at the end?}

Harriet Homemaker

Harriet Homemaker. That's what Mr. SE calls me when I cook and do things around the house while he's at work. Just wanted to let you in on a fantastic recipe I tried a couple weeks ago, and have made THREE times since then! The "linguine with a lemon, garlic, and white wine sauce" is more than amazing. It's life changing. I made the variety twice with regular ingredients, and the 3rd time I added a can of clams. Delicious! I'm pretty sure Mr. SE thought he was at a fancy schmancy restaurant.

And to top it off? Hearts of romaine with homemade dressing (balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, Italian herbs mix). Delicious! Here's the picture from The Entertaining Kitchen, where I found the recipe. She has tons of other fabulous food and drink recipes. Please try the Lemonade Sangria- you'll thank me!

Tomorrow I'll post the delicious skirt steak and veggie kabobs Mr. SE and I made on Tuesday.
