Because I can't get Jadon out of his camo pj's today, attacking my stamping markers...who are we kidding-they aren't mine anymore. He isn't moving...not even bribes are getting him movin... (more about bribes later...)
Sorry I'm not feeling the green today...I'm wearing pink.
I don't want to eat beef and cabbage, drink beers...but we might go over to Tailgaters (new neighborhood Bar & Pizza place) with the neighbors tonight? Is a Margarita green enough?
I didn't make green eggs today or anything else green for that matter...but maybe I'll eat a salad today.
Speaking of salads, I was going to share this really yummy salad like forever ago, but that was before Jadon got a nasty virus, turned into nasty colds/coughs, visit to the dr...blah,blah,blah... Things are on the mend now, so all is good.
So back to my "green" salad....
California Chicken Salad with Avocado & Mango
Make marinade: Combine 2T Olive Oil, 2T fresh lime juice, 2 T Mango Chutney (I used the Mango hot sauce stuff we had b/c I couldn't find anything else that was a chutney...), 1T Soy sauce (low-sodium), 3/4 tsp minced ginger, 1 garlic clove minced.
Chicken: 2 chicken breasts on plate-spoon 1/2 of marinade over chicken, turn to coat and let stand 5 minutes. Grill and slice into strips.
Salad: Mixed greens, diced mango, diced avocado...whatever else you might want...I think next time I'm adding cucumbers to my salad. Arrange chicken on top and drizzle with reserved dressing.
Now to the bribe...
Jadon got a splinter in his foot, who knows how/where but this only added to the drama of the whole cold... He would not let us even get close to look at it. So serious bribes were in order... We read online about some baking soda paste...totally did not work... Saw online to use teething gel to numb the area...worth a try. New spiderman bandaids...teething gel, and a bribe to get this ridiculous Ice Cream Truck he saw at CVS Pharmacy and a trip to Baskin Robbins for an ice cream cone. This did the trick, but I'm not really convinced the splinter is out so more bribes may be in the works.
being attacked by a camo monster...must go...
Happy St. Paddy's Day-be safe!

Okay I have lots to say, because we haven't talked in a while:
- Every time I see a new pic of Jadon, I can't believe what a big boy he is becoming!?
- I was salivating just reading your salad recipe!
- I was anti-green today too (BA HUMMBUG) What fun is St. Patty's Day on a Tuesday?
- I FINALLY understand why you & Jason only have ONE child, these days. I am not kidding one bit. I think we'll stick with just Camden & maybe a DOG if I can convince Michael or just bring 1 home!
- Excited to see you Saturday. Don't 4get to text/call me when you get there...
Yes... camo counts... and it counted yesterday as well on the day after. It was fun yesterday...I'll have some pics of Jadon and Zoe up soon... so cute.
