Trippin on Tuesday....

1. Roman had his fourteenth haircut. That’s 1-4! His hair grows so fast. Its cut short now so we are back with the faux hawk! Its very cute.

2.A pet gerbil causes a 3 car accident in Springville- Weird. Apparently the rodent got out of the cage and the girl driving started to look for him- while she was driving. The drivers of the other 2 cars broke their legs. People- it’s a rodent. Why do you even have it as a pet. Damn Gerbil!

3. My allergies.

4.SPAM reports a 10% increase of profit for the last 3 months. So basically when the economy is bad people tend to eat fake meat? How disgusting is that.

5.Gas prices- I feel like a broken record.

6.Grocery prices- Has anyone else noticed the price of staples going up?

7.Recycling- who knew how much my family could actually recycle. It’s so amazing. I love it! I love our environment and it makes me feel good to be doing something good for it. Now if I could just ride a scooter to work. Anyone have one I can borrower- specifically one that is pink and has a matching pink helmet. :)

8.THIS STORY.. whoa..

9.Tim Russert’s death. He collapsed at the age of 58. What a shocker- I think he was a classy journalist who was able to keep his views and opinions open and tried to always be a family man. I grew up watching him on Meet the Press. (coming from a political family we it was always on Sunday mornings- yes instead of Music and the Spoken Word) He was very pointed in asking questions but always handled it in a classy way. I will miss his voice and outlook!

10.The flood in the mid-west. I have had this song in my head all weekend. “The lord said to Noah…there’s going to be a floody floody..”

11.For Father’s Day I bought Chuck and my dad front row- ring side tickets to the WWE Monday Night Wrestling Raw. My dad- decided he wanted to send my little brother Tim- who is leaving for a mission in a week- since Tim loved WWE as a little boy. So they went and we seen them on TV all night long. It was hilarious. We even seen Tim get a little embarrassed by the Bikini Contest. (who knew, I guess wrestling isn’t so kid friendly any more)

12.Roman has a new obsession- sticking his finger up his nose. Its so gross. I battle it all day long. Get your finger out of your nose. Any suggestions??

Some days I am totally embarrased to be from Utah!

Read THIS story!

Can you imagine if there were toy makers in Idaho.. now that would be scary!

WW Loss Results..

Interesting..

Historically candidates have ignored the rumor mills. But Barack Obama has recently came out with a new web page- fighting the untruths that are being spread about him and his family. I think it is neat to stand up for what you believe it and fight against the things that are being spread. Click on the link below if you are interested.

Weight Watchers Wednesday..

Okay since I can not seem to get myself organized enough to post on Mouthwatering Monday.. I had an epiphany.. since I am making up/trying new recipes that are Weight Watchers friendly that I should do a WW Wednesday and post my latest recipe. Good idea? Ya- I thought so. So here is this weeks..

This is what mine actually looked like!

Chicken Parmesan WW Style.

POINTS® Value: 5
1 sprays olive oil cooking spray
1 pound uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly pounded (four 4-oz
pieces)
2 large egg white(s), lightly beaten
1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp table salt, or to taste
1 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 cup Hunts 4-cheese Spaghetti sauce
1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray.
Place egg whites in a shallow bowl. Combine bread crumbs with Italian seasoning
and salt; pour into another shallow bowl. Dip chicken in egg whites; turn to coat. Dip
chicken in bread crumb mixture; turn to thoroughly coat.
Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and add oil; heat over medium-high heat.
When hot, add chicken and cook until lightly browned and no longer pink in center,
about 4 minutes per side.
Pour sauce into prepared baking dish; place chicken in dish on top of sauce. Sprinkle with cheeses and bake until chicken
is cooked through and cheese is bubbly, about 25 minutes. Enjoy.

See- even baby loved it.
