Last night we had grilled ham sandwiches after 6 parades.
Kay--we have Christmas parades in Dec.
I take my kids to them. They love it even though it's cold. We bundled up well enough that we didn't get too cold. My aunt use to take us to them all. She still goes. We rode in the last parade with the animal welfare society. We had fun and got a lot of candy.
Tonight is sandwiches, potato salad, macaroni salad and deviled eggs. I threw a surprise 24th b-day party for my fiance yesterday and we have a looooot of leftover food...and also a lot of leftover cake. That's what I get for making a 3 tier cake for 12 people!
i think everyone kind of forgot about dinner last night. we ended up eating at like 10! we had chipotle....
salad bowl w/ chicken, white rice, pinto beans, fresh salsa, sour cream, and cheese.
i tried making cake balls yesterday but it came out really sticky and kind of pasty. i think its because i added pineapple but anyway - the idea sounded good but it didn't end up that great. oh well.
kay - yeah, i'm 21 but i felt old because it was a disney channel song and all the kids in the audience were like under 14 so in comparison.....yes, i'm old. 
noreen - a 3 tier cake for 12 people!!! omg! you can send some left over cake to me though!
juju - you guys have 6 parades?!?! we only have one and i don't really understand why its in the beginning of december.

Hey, Y'all! Happy Sunday!
I ain't been worth a hoot today, y'all. I bet I ain't done three productive things the whole day! 
Have y'all ever had one of those days where you just didn't have the energy to move? Yeah. Well that was me, today.
Did the dishes twice (for Sunday brunch and dinner.) Did a load of laundry. Changed DS's bed. That's about it.
Dinner tonight was:
Chili mac Hamburger Helper
Salad w/ fresh ranch
Seasoned skillet potatoes
Water
Rum cake (omg---so good)
--Knox--
I have muffins! my kids ate a real meal though.
Saturday...homemade italian beef sandwichs, french fries
Sunday...went to a bbq place after church. I don't cook on Sundays if I can get out of it. After we got home I made fudge, a couple batches of cookies and chocolate peanut clusters.
Did a little shopping also. I wish I was done 
Knox...good for you for having a down day. You deserve it.
Ok the tree is up (not decorated) but hey it is up. Now I have a runny noses from unpacking the tree. My allergies always get me when I get something out that is stored for a year Maybe thats why I dread putting the tree up
So for supper I put Roast in crockpot for French Dips YUMMY
Knox 
You had a working vacation. You deserved the day to POWER LOUNGE Sometimes aren't you glad Hamburger Helper was invented. Just for days like you had. And very busy days that you can't take the time to slave over the stove And Rum cake one of my favs my Grandma use to make for christmas. I found her recipe and plan on making it this year for Christmas
mxpark Did you have a busy night last night?? I am going to try some more cake balls. My first ones were kind of mushy also. But still tasted great that is all that counts
noreen Yum potato & mac salads I love them but I am the only on that eats them so I don't get them much
juju I guess we don't do them here. So I didn't think about it. That would be fun COLD but fun Our homecoming one is always so cold I can't imagine one right now
They always do the Christmas parades on the first Saturday of December. They got snowed out this year and rescheduled for yesterday. I live in an area where I can get to a lot (approx 20) towns in one day. The times were 9am, 11am, 1pm, 2pm, 3:30pm and 6pm. There were more on this day too but scheduling conficts. We can't be in two places at once...lol. My kids got a ton of candy, a bear (one per child), and an apple and orange. Most of the candy will go to waste but they have fun.
Today we had Chicken Cordon Bleu(homemade), corn, green beans, and mashed potatoes. (Parade candy for dessert)
juju recipe please. Ok here is what we do with left over candy. We keep it and when pain in the butt teenagers come trick or treating to your house next year give them the special bowl of candy. We had teenagers ring the doorbell a few years ago at 10pm We weren't going to part with our kids candy and we had a special bowl that had easter candy in it GUESS what they got They didn't come bug use the next year. Just A tip
KAY!!!
Just laughing out LOUD, Girl----you're too dang'd funny! Give 'em the old stuff....
Bwwwaaaaahhhhhahaaaaaa!
*officer down. send assistance. laughing hysterically. send me a schedule 48 for oxygen treatment, over.*
--Knox--
Kay...that is so funny! My DH does the same thing. I buy fullsize candy bars for the little guys but my husband says no way he's giving that to the older teenagers....so he gets out the left over parade candy also.
Gotta do something with that leftover candy right???
Knox I am glad I gave you a good laugh. I knew you needed one RIGHT. So did you get your oxygen yet??
Ohara you made me feel better. I thought I was the only demented person out there that does that But dang it if the drive up in front of your house and ring the doorbell at 10 pm they deserve the old candy I have a teenager myself. He walked around with us when we took DD But he never said trick or treat to anyone. (except family and was being silly about it ) Sometimes they offered him some and he would then take it. But he know the holiday is for the little kids
Chicken Cordon Bleu Recipe (all amounts are approximate I used what I had)
4 oz cream cheese
1 cup cooked Minute Rice
3 lbs Boneless Chicken breast, pounded to 1/4 in thickness
Swiss cheese
1 pkg shaved ham
1 egg, lightly beaten
16 Ritz crackers, crushed
Preheat oven to 400*F. Mix cream cheese and rice until well blended.
Place chicken breasts, top-sides down, on large cutting board. Top each with ham slices and rice mixture. The top with slice of swiss cheese. Starting at one of the short ends, tightly roll up each chicken breast. Dip in egg, then in cracker crumbs, turning to evenly coat each chicken breast. Place in greased 8-inch square baking dish.
Bake 35-40min or until chicken is cooked through.
***I didn't have shaved ham so I just cut up the ham I did have and mix in with rice. I also couldn't keep the rice mixture in the chicken if I rolled it in the egg and crackers. So I just brushed egg on top of the chicken in the pan and sprinkled with crackers. Like I said all amounts are just guesses. Sorry I'm one of those cooks that starts with a recipe and adds her own stuff to it....lol.
Ok, my tree is not even up yet, you all are making me feel like a slacker! but I am making cake balls for my mom to take to work tomorrow 
I'm making chicken, with smashed potatoes, cinn. baked apples, green beans and crescent rolls.
MKOLMAR: My tree isn't up yet, either. I'm up in the country here, and right over the hill (literally) there's a garden center with great trees. So Saturday--the youngest and I will go up there & get ours & put it up. Slackers unite! 
JUJU: Your recipe sounds wonderful! Thanks for posting!
OHARA & KAY: Dirty girls. LOL. Y'all are a hoot. 
Wonder where DODI and MONICA are?
NOREEN816: AS THE HONORABLE KNOXCOP OF THE TABLE, (WE AIN'T GOT US A JUDGE AT THE TABLE YET) I HEREBY DON THEE "MOST WELCOMEST NEW NEWBIE!!"
I've been kneading color into fondant all day. Then I got to feeling sick and went & laid down. Wierd stomach-ey feelings. So we ordered pizza tonight.
--Knox--
A twinkie
(I know, thats so pitiful. Just like the lean cusine commercials.)
Tonight...leftovers. Italian beef sandwichs, french fries (carrots for me instead. I'm trying to loose part of this big booty) cottage cheese.
DH had leftover brownies....I had hot tea. (because I CHOOSE not to have brownies...keep telling yourself this.....)
Kay...DH and I have been called demented for years. We wear it as a badge of honor
Knox...hope your feeling better real soon. Maybe you just inhaled too many fondant fumes Ok... it was just a thought.
butterflyjuju...your chicken cordon blue sounds wonderful. Thanks for posting.
mkolmar...I haven't made cake balls yet. I can't wait to try them they sound great.
MidnightSnackCake...A twinkie lol
midnighsnack, a twinkie?? FANCY! Just kidding!
Knox: There's a stomach-bug going around so be careful and rest up, I hope it's just a fluke of a stomach twinge for you. DON'T GIVE IN TO THE TREE! UNITE WITH ME! at least till the kids beat you down and make you get one like mine are doing. I'm trying to hold out till sometime this weekend too!
Ohara: Mom just left with her cake balls. Chocolate with flaked coconut, chopped walnuts and raspberry flavored syrup. Chocolate with almond toffee flavoring and heath bits and yellow cake with hazelnut flavoring and mini-choc. chips all of them dipped in Ghiradelli dipping chocolate. Cake balls taste really good but I think the love affair between me and them are over, I'd rather have ice cream 
Feeling a little better every day, I tried eating what I made the kids and it didn't sit well in the first bite so I had a cheese stick instead. OMG, midnight snack and I are in the same commercial!
We had fried hot dogs (yuck can't stand them but DH loves them), macaroni and cheese, and homemade potato chips.

MMM! That sounds like MY KIND OF DINNER! Too bad we're all health freaks.
Garlic shrimp and rice, scallions, Romanian lettuce, bread and water.
We finished decorating the tree tonight. But still have to do the rest of the house. We decorated with the ornaments the kids made or special ornaments. Like the old ones my Grandma gave for my first tree. First year ornaments and such. Are tree is a tree of LOVE. My Mom has made several ornaments over the years. Recent ones are wooden ones they are so pretty but AAAGGGHHH No room on the tree. A few years ago I got a bigger artifcial tree because of the ornaments. So now we decorate the rest of the house with the wooden ones.
So tonight was a mac-n-cheese with smoked sausage, peas and carrots
mixed in it. Easy and the kids love it.
juju thank you for the recipe. I will definatly have to try it. I always tweek recipes and make them my own. I am also one the does approximate measuring as well. But not with my cakes and goodies.
Knox I hope you get to feeing well. We gotta laugh alittle at the table. I wouldn't have put it up but DD kept bugging me You already went shopping though.I wait till the last possible minute to get gifts. Or even after christmas and get them at better price Kids like getting more after Christmas
Ohara glad My Dh and I have a support group for us now We will also were it as a badge of honor
Kay I do approx measurements for some of my cakes and goodies too. Never had one turn out bad...lol. For example I use Earlene's creamcheese icing recipe. I don't measure the crisco. I just put in a good scoop of it...lol. Drives my mother nuts.
I'm here, I'm here!!!
I leave for a little while and poor knox gets cooties! Have you been kissing boys? That'll do it!
It has been so busy here! We had to go to dh's dept party and I had to finish the cake (in my pics), get me ready, get the noodle ready and then he stayed up half the night! I think he ate something that just didn't sit right with him and he was up way too late! 
So we've been trying to catch up on sleep!
Can I join the demented group too? I used to work in nursing homes so I'm familiar with the rules!
Thanks guys now I'm going to have to make shrimp(one of my favs-mmmm) and mac n' cheese! (not all in the same meal though)
Last night:
Thai curry chicken with mixed veggies
jasmine rice
Tonight we had:
Pecan crusted talapia
seasoned cheese grits
spinach
and it true toddler fashion the noodle ate nothing! He would only drink his milk. At least over the course of a week he eats good.
I'll be good and get to the table more this week!
Dodi now what is wrong with shrimp and mac-n-cheese in the same meal?? You gotta live on the edge once in awhile. And besides sometimes making Mac-n-cheese for DD to eat instead of shrimp is a must. Been there done that. So you can be creative then the little one will eat for ya Demented group will allow you if you will attend our daily meetings at the table And with knox it probably wasn't cooties. She was proabaly lonesome with out you at the table
