And, dh is FINALLY getting his Christmas Chocolate Truffle Pie that I was supposed to make during Christmas.  He's going to savor it while watching 24 tonight!
I LOVE being in the kitchen when my mom is here.....someone to occupy the troops, so I can enjoy creating delicious food. Otherwise.....well.....it ain't all that fun.

I'll second that Jen! :) Our chicken salad was delicious, very simple and filling. We ended up having grapes and carrot sticks with it!
Tuesday ideas??

I just chopped three onions (a mixture of red and yellow to use what I had), 3 carrots, and 2 stalks of celery (though, the recipe didn't call for this) in 2 T butter and 2 T olive oil. I cooked it over medium for 20 minutes or so until the veggies were really soft.
Then I added 2 quarts chicken stock (well, I think it was turkey, and I didn't have two full quarts so I added water--you could also use beef stock), 2 cups lentils (I soaked them overnight) brought it to a boil, skimming off any foam.
I reduced to a simmer and added a half a tsp of dried thyme, all the curry powder I had left (the recipe called for "2 or more tablespoons"), and coarsely ground pepper.
After the lentils were tender (the book says 30 minutes, but after soaking them and bringing to a boil, I didn't find it took that long) I blended it with a handheld blender.
I salted to taste at the end and served it with sour cream.
I used the curry variation on the Roman Lentil Soup recipe in Nourishing Traditions as a guide. One thing I love about soups is that they are so flexible and quite simple. Everyone really like it! I'd never made it with the curry before, but it was tasty. 
Next time I'll double the recipe!

Mondays are co-op, ballet/tap dance, basketball, and Adoration. It's definitely a slow-cooker kind of day so, despite the overload of activity, we usually eat pretty good.
Seasoned pork roast with potatoes and baby carrots (in slow cooker)
Rice and gravy
Corn
Mustard Greens & Cornbread (fixed the night before for LA History class)
Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
God Bless my slower cooker!

Cay, every time my 4 1/2 year old sees your book including just now as I was scrolling down the page, he says, "Uh, oh. Those girls shouldn't be walking on the railroad track..."  Though, I'm glad he knows--we have a train near our home and the boys have been trained well in this regard!

Late, but wanted to share a recipe I just found:
Pizza Fondue
8 oz. pkg. shredded mozzarella
1 loaf Velvetta (or a chunk of whatever fondue-type cheese you like - I used Gruyere)
1/2 wine or beef broth
1 jar spaghetti sauce
Optional: pre-cooked sausage crumbles (I used 1/2 lb.)
Put in Crock-Pot. Heat on high one hour until melted. Can sit in a Low heat state for a few hours if needed. The Gruyere took a while to melt - next time I'll cut it up first.
Serve with whatever firm bread you like, cut into chunks.
We had Florida strawberries with whipped cream for dessert.
