Ok, sorry Jeri for being so lazy about posting. I've pretty much decided that this is probably going to be a cooking blog, so here is my favorite recipe of the week (or the ONLY thing I have cooked in the last week). Sorry, no pictures here-but it was really good, and really easy I swear!

Mary's Chicken Stir-Fry
2lbs frozen veggie blend (I used the broccoli stir-fry)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 c prepared rice
3/4 c teriyaki sauce
1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite sized pieces
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Saute the chicken for 5 minutes in oil (I cooked my chicken till I was SURE it was done, as I am slightly scared of chicken). Add frozen veggies, garlic powder (I used the minced garlic you buy in a jar), salt, and pepper. Saute until tender crisp. Add teriyaki sauce, heat through. Serve over rice.
DELICIOUS. Honestly, it is one of the best things I have ever made, and SUPER easy. I love the water chestnuts in the stir-fry veggies, SUPER crispy and delicious.
I got a sirloin roast on sale at the grocery store this weekend, so I thought tomorrow I would make some fajitas! I have some left over peppers, but I no seasoning (I usually just use the package and a can of beer for marinade). I guess I will improvise!
Also, Wednesday is BUNCO night! Yeah!! So for my appetizer to take I am making the greatest appetizer EVER!
Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos
15 jalapenos
2 packages cream cheese
1 package bacon
Cut peppers in half length wise, scoop out seeds, ribs, and white stuff (if you don't they'll be HOT, HOT, HOT-also don't store the peppers in the fridge, that makes them hot too!). Fill peppers with cream cheese (I'm going to try mixing half real cream cheese and half 1/3 fat cream cheese). Wrap with bacon strip, cut in half. Poke a toothpick through the bacon to hold in place. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is done. YUMMO!
I've heard you can mix cheddar cheese, garlic, pepper, etc into the cream cheese -but why mess with perfection?
