Today is Dr. Seuss day at Penelope's school. Check her out...


Her school is currently having a book fair and the theme is Dr. Seuss so the kids got to take a break from their uniform and dress up as their favorite Dr. Seuss character. The class with the most and best costumes wins a cupcake party. Go Mrs. Wright's class!

In case any of you have been wondering the new lunch program seems to be quite a success. More children are eating hot lunches and even the teachers and staff are coming through the lunch line to eat the new healthier meals. Go Rancho Christian!

And in honor of Dr. Seuss day I will leave you with this...

Back when Penelope was not yet 2 I gave her a little box to put her treasures in. Here you can see what was it then and these are the treasures she has collected since then.


A couple of things have remained through the years but most have been replaced with other "more special" things. Her treasure box is now a little worn and torn and missing a heart but she loves it still, and as you can see...


She still has a thing for rocks.

This morning I woke up and decided to make Chris and I an omelet (Penelope had waffles). This turned out the be "the best omelet I have ever eaten" said Chris.

Best Omelet Ever

For the omelet- 
4 slices of bacon cut in half
6 eggs
Half & Half
1/2 cup Shredded Jack cheese
1 tbs. Butter
Salt & Pepper


For the fresh salsa that goes inside the omelet-
1/2 Tomato chopped
Small handful of cilantro chopped
2 Green onions chopped
1 Serrano pepper chopped (this will give it quite a kick, if you don't like too spicy you can use half a Serrano.)


Mix all the salsa ingredients and set aside. In another bowl mix the eggs with a bit of half & half and salt & pepper. In a frying or omelet pan melt a tablespoon of butter. Pour the egg mixture and start cooking up your omelet. When I was in junior high I took home ec. and one of the first things we learned was how to cook an omelet. You use your spatula to push the sides of the omelet in and then swirl your pan to get the uncooked egg yolk that is in the middle over to the sides of the pan. Keep doing this until your egg is no longer runny. Add the cheese, bacon, and fresh salsa onto one half  of the omelet then take your spatula and fold the other side of the omelet to cover the filling. At this point you can turn off the heat and just let the cheese melt.

Tonight I made a recipe courtesy of Cassie Craves. She has a ton of tasty looking recipes, you need to go check her blog out!


I substituted the Penne in her recipe for Conchiglie and I baked my chicken according to the following directions:

Baked Chicken Breasts

Preheat oven to 350. Rub boneless skinless chicken breasts with olive oil and butter. Season with lemon pepper and salt & pepper. Place in baking dish and cook for 25 minutes. They should come out moist and delicious.
