Takeover

This morning the girls and I made whole wheat pancakes for breakfast. With strawberries cooked in maple syrup for on top! Annabelle was the photographer

Please don't take this the wrong way, I love her very much! But, my mother is making me crazy, my routine has been turned on its head! Yesterday I decided to make dinner. I could not find a darn thing, it was so frustrating.
So today I decided to take the kitchen back, I would clean, reorganize and conquer. It took me all day. Nothing would fit in the fridge before my takeover, now it is clean and organized. Do we really need four jars of salsa in the fridge? What happened to finishing the first one? I thought we were over loaded with cereal, no no no, we were overloaded with 15 or more rolled up bags of crumbs!!
I made shrimp with bacon tomatoes and Swiss chard over  rice tonight, it was delicioso. The recipe called for collard greens but I could not resist substituting these beautiful babies from the garden

The girls are in bed, and tomorrow they are back to school. I think its time for me to sit and enjoy

Good night!
