The past few days have been crazy with meetings for school, open house and company!  It has been fun and busy but also exhausting.  I am not going to recap much except for our dinner last night and tonight.  Then I am going to hit it, so I am ready for the kids to come to school tomorrow!  The first day of school never gets any less exciting, nerve-wrecking, or sleepless, no matter how old you get!

Wednesday’s Rainbow Pizza

  • frozen bread dough (cheap, easy, low-fat)
  • BBQ sauce – Caribbean Jerk sauce from BW3
  • sweet peppers
  • green peppers
  • grilled chicken
  • tomatoes
  • fresh mozzarella
  • fresh basil
  • bacon bits
  • turkey (deli

Thaw out the pizza dough and roll onto a cookie sheet.  Cover with BBQ and CJ sauce.  Toss on all ingredients and bake at 375 until brown and bubbly.  Enjoy 🙂  We did!

With this we enjoyed these wonderful mixed and grilled veggies:

Thursday’s Crab Cakes

(A modified recipe from Cooking Light)

  • 2 cans of fancy crab meat
  • 3 tbs. light miracle whip
  • 2 tbs. dijon mustard
  • 1 tbs. worchester
  • 1 tbs. lemon juice
  • 1 c. bread crumbs
  • 1/3 c. diced roasted red pepper
  • 1/3 c. diced green pepper
  • 1 tsp. old bay seasoning
  • salt and pepper

Mix all ingredients together.  Shape into portion sized cakes.  Spray a frying pan with Pam and pan fry the cake until golden brown on each side.  Bake at 350 for 10 min until warm and crispy(ish)  🙂  It won’t be too crispy unless you fry them in oil.  To make them a little more “real”, fry in a few tablespoons EVOO.

Tomorrow I will be more on top of things and will get back to normal!
