Good thing he loves me...

Hubby was in the kitchen working on dinner. (I've trained him well.) Suddenly I heard him cursing under his breath, and went out to find out what was going on. Apparently, when cutting up some veggies, he cut his finger. Just a tiny cut, nothing too bad.

Being the good wife, I ran to grab a band-aid and some Neosporin. I started to bandage him up when he started cursing louder, face all screwed up. (Thankfully, little one was already in bed.)

I guess in my rush, I grabbed mint-flavored lip stuff he had in the bathroom cabinet, not Neosporin. Oops! Definitely a good thing he loves me...

Pace Review

Lately we've been trying to get some new foods on the menu around here. Hubby is more than tired of coming home to meatloaf, Shepard's Pie, or chicken casseroles every night.

Recently, we had the chance to try Pace's Pinapple Mango Chipolte Salsa. We used the specialty salsa to make Pace Chicken with Pineapple Mango Salsa. The recipe was simple and quick. All in all it was prepped, cooked, and on the table in under 45 minutes.

Hubby and I both enjoyed the new meal. We paired the chicken with cornbread muffins and a salad. The chicken, topped with salsa, was a perfect mix of freshness and spice. It will definitely be making it's way into our meal rotation.

Pace's specialty salsas are offered in 6 other varieties: Black Bean & Roasted Corn, Triple Pepper, Tequila Lime, Mexican 4-Cheese, Salsa Verde, and Pico de Gallo.

Got Milk?

I live in a household where running out of milk is an absolutely tragic. The second someone uses the end of the jug, you can be sure little man will request a cup of it.

I'm happy with his love for milk. He'll take it anyway he can get it: plain, chocolate, or strawberry. With his picky eating habit, I love that milk provides calcium and protein, as well as various vitamins and minerals. Mom Central has teamed up with the Milk Council to get the word out about Why Milk? The site features celeb milk mustaches, tips and tools to live well, and recipes. We tried out the Blueberry Blast Smoothie (with fresh berries since we have way too many), and it was delicious. It gained two thumbs up all around in our house.

Milk is also one of the most cost efficient summer snack choices-at 25 cents a cup. It's been found to provide more nutrition per cent than almost any other drink choice. Since studies show 92% of moms are looking for more nutritionally sound snack choices, milk should definitely be a staple for snack time.
So does your family Got Milk?

At Least it's Cute...

I guess I'm stuck with it.
