  Cheesy, saucy goodness... Chicken Parmesan Roll Ups with pasta and salad made us all very happy. we also got an amazing desert of Peanut Butter Mud Pie.... YUMMO!

It was another great summer evening with wonderful food.   Chicken Parmesan Roll Ups with a side of noodles (extra red sauce for Christopher Robin)

  We wanted to give our northern visitors a taste of the south, so Pimento Cheeseburgers seemed like a good choice.  It was and we all enjoyed!  Zesty Three Bean Salad and crunchy chips made a tasty summer supper. Our bartender impressed the Canadians and dessert was custom created for the crowd. Hooray summer!

  Steak Hoagies, Jo Jo Potatoes and Wedge Salad...  it feels like summertime though we missed our bartender.

Sauteed Lemon Chicken Strips and Orzo with Peas & Mint ... it was great meal before a long break.  Summer is lots of fun, sun, family and fish, so PD will be sidelined for a bit!

Tropical Storm Andrea made it a rainy Friday, so home cooking was in order...   Macaroni & Cheese Casserole      ... creamy cheese with crunchy topping and some grilled sausage was just perfect. Since Tigger discovered Bacon Cheddar Scones , he looks for any opportunity to add them to a meal.  Eeyore obliged...  YUM!

Summer has returned...we had a beautiful Friday (before a rainy weekend), so Grilled Pizzas fit perfectly! Meats included pepperoni & sausage... sauces ranged from tomato to pesto and of course cheese... feta and two mozzarella's.  Olives, onion and green pepper for those inclined.

This was good easy fare for a rainy Summer evening.   Skillet Macaroni with Zesty Meat Sauce gave us the chance to use our basil (which recovered from some type of animal attack earlier this season) and new pan.  It was a generous portion with enough leftovers for everyone. We didn't want to be too simple for our skilled chef, so we added a bakery component.  Garlic Cheese Biscuits from Paula Deen were perfect!  These yummy little treats did NOT have any leftovers. Even our birthday boy Squirt noticed right when he walked in... "those look like the Bisquick biscuits my mom used to make", to which we responded "they are!"

ADDED photo ... which reminds me of the special edition Cream Cheese Biscuits we also enjoyed - thanks Dory! Late to post... vacation, work, excuses, excuses!  Even waiting on the photo... bad planning on me. The original recipe was French Country Chicken with Herbs and Honey . First, we knew the honey would be removed... Bubbles does not like sweet flavors with his proteins! Then, as Dory read the recipe and asked for the Herbs de Provence, I told her to improvise from the spice drawer.   Needless to say, she had to create something new, since I lacked the components.  It was like a quickfire challenge.    Her resulting combo was delicious... more like cajun country chicken. The best part was my dear friend Annu looking out for me as usual.. she mailed me an care package with my very own portion of HDP.  I will have to pick a recipe soon to put them to use.  Thank you thank you!

Summer is a crazy time for pity dinner - lots of comings and goings make Friday nights busy.  We had family visiting, now we have fishing trips.  But do not fear - you can't keep us out of the kitchen for too long!
