I Like To Put Things On Maddie's Head 4

 I'm not the only one.
These two a professional did.
 There are many caption possibilities with this next one.
 I'll leave you to your own devices.
But this child was 
MADE
for Disney ears!

Transporting Cupcakes

Found this little idea on
Pinterest.

Pretty self-explanitory.
What I'm not so sure about is how they got them 
out of there.

Cannellini Couscous Salad

In an effort to reduce my cholesterol
and come up with dinners that don't involve the oven,
I have *created* this.
I say *created* because I did start with a
recipe but I think I've changed enough
ingredients that it has become a new thing.

It's:
pearl couscous
red onion
cucumber
grape tomatoes
cannellini beans
tuna fish
fresh corn
jicama
sweet peppers
basil
all tossed together
and dressed with
1 T. olive oil
2T. balsamic
1 T. lime juice.

It was better after it sat for a while.

Also, when chopping multiple ingredients
I think it's always a good idea to make
everything about the same size.
So for this everything was between
 the size of a grain of couscous and a bean.

It will be lunch today.
Along with this:
It's Margarita Friday!

Oh, and I asked the doc about Margaritas.
He says they won't impact my cholesterol numbers.
Besides, he said, you need some vices in order
to give something up.
I told him, more like to have
something to lie to him about.

BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad

Sooo good!
And so easy.

I used the breast of a 
rotisserie chicken that I shredded,
a cup of quinoa,
and then added
black beans,
corn,
jicama,
avocado,
green onions, 
and cilantro.
Toss it all with some BBQ sauce, 
top with a little shredded cheese
and there you have a fantastic dinner.

This one will be going to the top of our 
summer dinner rotation.

Look What We Caught

Turns out the 
Baby Prison/Gated Community
is good for more than just corralling babies.
Gaye can just step right out of it. 
Big not so much. 
We knew where to find her all night.
