Simple Summer Supper

It has been so blasted hot out that coming home and cooking a big heavy supper is the last thing I want to do. I cannot tell a lie I do love a steak salad. I was inspired by a recipe the Pioneer Woman posted a few days ago for a chipotle steak salad. The nicest thing about recipes like this one is that they are completely flexible. In my salad I used some mix greens, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms, shredded carrots, celery (for some extra crunch), shredded cheddar cheese, sliced sirloin steak, homemade croutons, and a spicy ranch dressing, basically the whole garden. Yummy!  It was very refreshing and filling at the same time. Even the hubs enjoyed!!!


Here is a link to the PW’s Chipotle Steak Salad  , her salad looks better than me but her food photography skills are better than mine. Don't judge me.

Shopping and visiting!

The hubs is NOT I repeat NOT A SHOPPER; it is a task that he detests. So when I mentioned that I would like him to go with me to pick some clothes out for Charlot’s six month photo session, I assumed he would smile say ok and never really get it in his schedule. Well let me tell you when I woke up yesterday morning to my husband suggesting that we skip church drive to COMO for breakfast and shopping, I had to pinch myself to make for certain I was still alive. I have never gotten ready so fast in my life! We had a great breakfast and got some really nice things for the little one. I even had time to get my wedding ring cleaned, it was in dire need, the corn field has not been nice to it this summer. But nothing topped when I found these pictured glasses below at first the hubs thought they were a waste of money but as soon as he saw them on the little miss he couldn’t resist. Charlot is now officially the coolest chick at the sitter's.

After our morning shopping adventure and a little nap Charlot my momma and I ventured over to see Bert, Melisa and Mia, I had some sweet corn for them and they had a walker and other goodies for Charlot to use. Plus Charlot and Mia are quite funny playmates.
