<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The garden here is producing zucchini on overdrive. I have more squash blossoms than I know what to do with. We have summer squash and zucchini both. What do you do when you still have 2 that are left from the store? Make zucchini bread of course and hey let's dig in the fridge and throw in those blueberries that are about to go bad. This is a super easy and moist bread. You can also substitute your favorite GF Flour Blend. I us Pamela's Artisan Blend when I am making GF.</span><br />

<strong><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ingredients</span></strong></div>
<ul style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 19px;">
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 eggs, lightly beaten</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 cup vegetable oil</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 teaspoons vanilla extract</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 1/4 cups white sugar</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 cups shredded zucchini</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3 cups all-purpose flour</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 teaspoon salt</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 teaspoon baking powder</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/4 teaspoon baking soda</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 tablespoon ground cinnamon</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2 cups frozen wild blueberries (you can also use a pint of fresh blueberries)</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease loaf pan or muffin tins.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Shred zucchini. Set aside. Once shredded, squeeze zucchini to remove excess water. Discard water. I cheat and put mine through the food processor.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar. Fold in the zucchini. Beat in the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. If adding frozen fruit remember to coat lightly in flour. I just tossed the fresh blueberries in.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pour into greased tins or loaf pan. Bake bread for 50 minutes or until knife comes out clean. I baked the muffins for 17-20 minutes based on my oven.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let cool 20 minutes and enjoy.</span></div>

Tee Hee Hee.  Notice my favorite big green Pyrex bowl.  Isn’t she pretty.  I like how she matched the cabbage.</font></p> <p><font size="3" face="Arial"></font></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-6EVIHO4XAyo/U5ex9qHHv1I/AAAAAAAADpQ/Qd6YpgOiVx0/s1600-h/DSCN0038%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="DSCN0038" style="border-top: 0px;

LOFT</a>.  Some of the RHOSTM and I gathered there on Wednesday morning to “catch up”.  Our resident “foodie”, Anna, planted the seed in mine and Kristen’s mind a couple of weeks ago when we started this amazing 28 Day Detox Boot Camp journey together.  So we called Courtney and Beth who also believe in a healthy and clean eating too.  Oh were we excited and pleased.  First its any kind of tea you could want and the couple that owns the place live a completely Gluten Free lifestyle.  SCORE.  There is no gluten what so ever on the premises. The best part for me is that a fellow Alpha Phi from Washburn, “J”, is doing all the baking and cooking there.  What a blessing to run into “J” that morning.</p> <p>I sat there looking at the menu like a kid in a toy store.  Gluten Free, Clean and Paleo choices awaited my decision.  I couldn’t believe it I felt like God had planted this little sanctuary right in front of me.  I decided on the suggestion of “For Her” decaf tea and a protein ball.  I love that even had the ingredients listed so I could check and make sure that all items listed were ok on the Detox.  It was an amazing little protein ball.  I thought right away I know I can make these at home for Mr. Miller and I.  So here is what I came up with and added the Fit Essentials Vanilla Protein Powder.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-zsNPvTBfuPI/Umu7bcYc8tI/AAAAAAAADe8/T8XVV1KsRBU/s1600-h/007%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="007" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="007" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-qFFxRDSdeQ0/Umu7b820szI/AAAAAAAADfA/zxxq4X55oaQ/007_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="390" height="342" /></a></p> <p align="center"><font face="Arial Black"> <font size="3">Almond Butter Protein Balls </font></font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Arial Black">   <br />1/2 c. almond butter</font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Arial Black">1/4 c. raw agave nectar or less</font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Arial Black">1 scoop chocolate Fit Essentials Protein Powder*</font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Arial Black">1/4 c. ground flax seed</font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Arial Black">1 c. dry gluten free oats</font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Arial Black">1 tbsp. coconut oil</font></p> <p align="center"><font face="Arial Black">Heat the Almond Butter, Coconut Oil and Agave Nectar together.

<span style="font-size: large;">Just before the rain rolled in this morning I walked through one of my happy places, the Green Acres Garden. The place where we have for the past 4 summers toiled, planted, picked pesky bugs, slapped mosquitoes and for me, ruined many a manicure. I love this little patch of heaven.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From our Inaugural Garden in 2009 to today.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, how I love our Garden so. This morning to my delight we found lots of Bell Peppers, jalapeno peppers and finally my tomatoes are coming around. We have had a crazy tomato year. Lots of vine, not many fruit and the fruit that was showing up was a salad bar for our new puppy and the tree rats.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So the question was raised ~ what to make today? It looks like Tuna Pasta Salad, Jambalaya for dinner and possibly going to make a batch of pickled jalapenos for my Mr. Miller.</span><br />

*My family loves black beans. I know it is not a regular ingredient found in jambalaya. The beauty of cooking is that it is your canvas, make it how you want.

You know the one with the quirks. The one who has the meltdown because things are not going his way. The one who makes the noises. The one that can’t look you in the eye and you think they are ignoring you. I am that Mama at the store that people look at and then away. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Yes I AM! I AM the Mama to an amazing child and gift from God. Yes, we may not be “normal” but what is normal anyways. We were chosen by God to be this beautiful boys parents. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I AM the Mama to a child with Autism, Asperger’s to be exact with a side of OCD, ADHD and SPD. I often joke that we have Alphabet soup behind our name. I am writing this today to let my fellow “Superhero” Parents and friends that we are here for each other and to support each other. Lately I have had some friends facing some rough times with “fitting” their piece into the mainstream puzzle and it has really spoke to me. I have been there. I keep remembering to take a deep breath, pray and I count to 10 a lot. I have learned to speak up and am teaching Cameron to advocate for himself too. Thank you Ms. Anna K for that reminder. </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;"> I am grateful to be at a school that does a pretty good job of inclusion, not perfect but we are getting there. We have <a href="http://www.stmkc.com/content/community_life/stm_for_all/" target="_blank">STM for All</a> and the support of <a href="http://www.fire-program.org/" target="_blank">Friends of FIRE</a>. These two programs help keep my “gift” and others in a regular classroom and help in the fight for an Inclusive Religious Education.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;">I am grateful to be in an amazing network of friends at that school. (We refer to each other as the Real Housewives of STM or RHSTM.) I am grateful to be on this journey with Mr. Miller. I am grateful for my family and my faith. Without all of these components I couldn’t do what I do.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: small;">I was cruising Facebook this morning and a gal I love at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AutismWithAGlassOfWine" target="_blank">Autism With a Glass of Wine</a> had a great picture and caption this morning. Head over to her page, give her a big ol’ LIKE. She might enlighten your world just as she has mine. </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Constantia; font-size: large;">Overwhelmed, not spoiled. Autism is not a choice. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Constantia; font-size: large;"> However, acceptance is.” </span></div>

Disclaimer:  We are not perfect nor experts but simply parents who want to do the best for him and ourselves.  </p> <p align="center">Junior Mint channeling his inner Bobby Flay.</p> <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-VdWpCk4Q248/Ui8oIYCK6pI/AAAAAAAADXU/cVcXafeC0Fs/s1600-h/002%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="002" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="002" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-em33jZpYmhE/Ui8oJLsdmCI/AAAAAAAADXc/PIhzp1iBgko/002_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a></p> <p align="center">A hot cast iron griddle, not a must have, is a big help.  Thank you Erika and Randy for this gift from years past.  I love it still to this day.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-O_QhgWLmrh4/Ui8oJ1MppdI/AAAAAAAADXk/DfNuDgr5gXU/s1600-h/003%25255B7%25255D.jpg"><img title="003" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="003" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-VdhZTvtci5w/Ui8oKY1HbEI/AAAAAAAADXs/TmZrl6WY8YA/003_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a></p> <p align="center">Voila’ breakfast is served.  If you haven’t tried the Organic Syrup at Aldi you are missing out.  At $3.89 a bottle you can’t beat it.</p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-HBgjAgmA_0s/Ui8oLNZSp-I/AAAAAAAADX0/VYhdXBHcRXM/s1600-h/007%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img title="007" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="007" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-gtIG9FiFT40/Ui8oLy2EnOI/AAAAAAAADX8/59K--k8s1b4/007_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a></p> <p align="center">The clean plate and purple stains around his mouth say it all.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-oMdNVZIeRRY/Ui8oMczwb-I/AAAAAAAADYE/nZZ3dnOA0xQ/s1600-h/009%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img title="009" style="border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; display: block; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" border="0" alt="009" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-_Fu0jgdVVLE/Ui8oNC6TKTI/AAAAAAAADYM/XemMJ8scpp8/009_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="166" height="240" /></a></p> Green Acres in the Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11853019819270924629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882975272447187416.post-8953460117974446022013-09-09T10:23:00.001-05:002013-09-09T10:23:48.611-05:00UTH:: weekend find!<p>UTH, you probably read that and went what is she talking about?  I LOVE Thrift Stores, Garage Sales and Craigslist.  Let’s face it I love a deal, you might as well call me “Second Hand Rose” yes, I love Barbra Streisand too but that’s another story. I have in the last years named these adventures Urban Treasure Hunts aka UTH.  We used to only do them in Big Red the Explorer but since we got Gertie, Mama’s new Passat wagon – she was a UTH too, we take her also.</p> <p>Mr. Miller and I were driving through Mission this weekend after a visit to Diaper Daisy and we came upon a yard sale and he had these wonderful wash tubs on a stand.  That definitely caught my eye but alas he wouldn’t budge on the price so I moved on.  I walked the yard through all of his lovely treasures, since all were 50% at that point.   I came upon this gem tucked away and filled with other treasures.  I looked at the tag and it said $5 so that meant $2.50 call it SOLD!  I paid the man and it got loaded in Gertie on top of Cameron’s golf clubs that I forgot were still back there and away we went.</p> <p> </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-MVK_E0YUMYQ/Ui3n7z7bG4I/AAAAAAAADWM/rVuRzyKd81g/s1600-h/Bucket%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img title="Bucket" style="border-left-width: 0px;

Turn Back Thursday a glimpse from the past.I thought I would try something here, TBT... Turn back Thursday a glimpse at the past. I was sitting here this morning pondering over many ideas to write about. Of course I got side tracked, hard to believe. LOL. Maybe Cameron's ADHD is rubbing off on his Mama. I had just spent a lovely morning on the patio with my girl, Beth, I really feel that we are sisters from another mother. We really get each other. Our children go to school together and met there. When we met we couldn't believe how much we had in common. See what I mean I just got sidetracked again. When Beth left and I decided to get onto my day I got turned to my to do list and on it was Menu. <br />
<br />
Ugh the dreaded MENU planning. I do love it at times and well others not so much. Menu planning does help save money and keep the rhythm of the Green Acres Kitchen together. So this is where the TBT comes into the story. Remember when I did this story last November? <a href="http://greenacresinthecity.blogspot.com/2012/11/november-2012-menu-plans.html" target="_blank">November 2012 Menu Plans</a> I decided to give monthly planning a go again. This way it is done and I only have to make my weekly list for the store. Simplicity at its best.<br />
<br />
Here is what is on the Menu for September 2013 at Green Acres. I have some new adventures ahead for us here at Green Acres in the City and on the home front. This will truly help keep things in check.<br />

I am not sure about surviving on that but if we had to I guess we could do anything we put our minds too. She does a lot of planning, thrift store shopping aka Urban Treasure Hunting and just uses plain common sense.<br />
<br />
When I decided to stay home 4+ years ago we definitely made adjustments. I am quite sure I would not want my life any different these days. I have learned so much over these last four years. Every day I continue to learn new ways to "trim the fat". <br />
<br />
The main piece I picked up from this family in the piece was from her <a href="http://www.blissfulanddomestic.com/" target="_blank">blog</a>. She uses meal planning which I have already been using but she bases her plan off of a theme for the week or I should say days of the week. Here is what I came up with for Green Acres along with our menu for this week. I am off to make a list and hit Costco and Trader Joes.<br />

Hope your weekend is full of many blessings. We have a busy one with
a Wedding on Saturday, the 2nd Rite of Scrutiny in our RCIA process
and Cameron will be marching with his Scout Troop in the Marting City
Irishpalooza on Sunday. <br />

Seems that January got the best of me. We went from Christmas straight into planning Junior Mint's 4th Birthday. <br />
<br />
When we started the year I tried to set some reasonable goals for myself. (I hate the term resolution.)<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Organization</li>
<li>Back on track with meal planning</li>
<li>set time aside for my own spiritual growth</li>
<li>Work on self sustainability for Green Acres</li>
<li>Blogging </li>
<li>Get completely out of debt</li>
</ul>
Not to hard, but it has been interesting getting back into the groove.<br />
<br />
Organization! UGH the word alone scares me. Pinterest and my girl, Anna, have been great resources for me on this adventure. Anna encouraged me to get a big desktop calendar. I did and it is helping. Baby steps.<br />
<br />
Meal planning is back in full swing. Especially since the price of groceries keep going up. I have started back with just weekly and hope to be back to a Monthly plan soon since the introduction of my large calendar. Here is a sample for next week.<br />

I have joined/formed a Bible/Book study with 2 of my fav gals, Cathlin and Anna. They are amazing Mama's that I am sharing the journey of raising our kids at STM. Cathlin and her husband are also mine and Mr. Miller's Sponsor on our journey through the RCIA process. I said in December we have been on a spiritual journey. We started our RCIA process to join the Catholic Church in September. We have so enjoyed this journey. Mr. Miller and I are embracing all that we are learning not only about the Church but ourselves individually, as parents and as Husband and Wife. The community that we are involved in at <a href="http://www.stmkc.com/" target="_blank">St. Thomas More</a> is so amazing. I will share more on this journey later so back to my Bible/Book Study at this time we are reading <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Chosen-Cherished-Biblical-Wisdom-Marriage/dp/086716848X" target="_blank">Chosen and Cherished</a> by Kimberly Hahn. So far it has been a good read. <br />
<br />
Mr. Miller and I started the planning for our Garden last night. We will be making a few changes and moving veggies around. We truly want to be more self sustaining.<br />
<br />
Blogging! I must get back into my routine again. So here is the goal I will start by writing at least 2 times a week to start.<br />
<br />
Get completely out of debt. I know everyone has this dream. We got a little closer this week. We paid off the Explorer! Can I get a "Woot Woot"! Yep both cars are paid for finally. This is such a relief. We paid off "Yetti" the Jetta a few years ago but sadly she met her demise due to a mechanics mistake. We replaced her with "Gerti" our Passat Wagon. She is our unicorn. A 2001 Passat Wagon with only 61K miles on it. Yep we found her and love her. Thanks to the Deacon and Pops for giving us funds from our "House Down Payment" fund. <br />
<br />
So as you can tell we have been busy. We are all doing well and feel amazingly blessed as we enter into 2013. I hope this year brings you many blessings too.Green Acres in the Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11853019819270924629noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882975272447187416.post-68321722305778029542012-12-18T11:41:00.000-06:002012-12-18T11:41:57.346-06:00step back a pause...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As the Holidays are upon us I am forever reminded this last week to take a moment to pause and reflect on what is important in life. <span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The important things in life are not the house you live in, the car you drive or the type of clothes on your back. What really matters is how we live our lives daily. Can you lay your head on your pillow at night and answer the question "Did I live my life to the fullest and respect those around me?" If you can answer "yes" then maybe we are on the right track. The important things in life are you</span>r family, friends and faith in what you believe.<br />
<br />
Mr. Miller and I have been on a "spiritual journey" of late. We have been reminded and inspired to remember all the blessings that we have in our lives. Two of which are very sweet little boys that warm our hearts daily. <br />
<br />

Yes, they can stress us out too but we have decided to try and count to 10 more often, step back and realize that they too can get as frustrated at situations like we do. It is important to remember that they are sponges and will do what they are taught and repeat what they hear. Henry learned a song in preschool for his program and he keeps singing it and I am reminded daily by my 3 year old that what he is singing is so true. (At least for this family)<br />
<br />

"Jesus in the family,</div>

Happy, Happy Home!"</div>
<br />
In light of the tragedies this last week I am asking that we all hug our children a little tighter and pause to realize what is really important. Remember that we all need to take care of each other. I can't help but think of the golden rule that we all have learned as children ourselves,<br />

I buy a loaf for each week and they freeze well. Organic ground beef and milk is also very affordable at Costco.</p> <p>Use Pinterest and my cookbooks for meal planning and recipes.  We have tacos at least once a week because the Miller boys love them.  </p> <p>I know there will times that I switch up days but that is ok.  I can also then just go weekly for fresh fruit and dairy. </p> <p align="center">November 2012</p> <p> </p> <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tbody> <tr> <td width="92"> <p>Sunday</p> </td> <td width="96"> <p>Monday</p> </td> <td width="96"> <p>Tuesday</p> </td> <td width="96"> <p>Wednesday</p> </td> <td width="96"> <p>Thursday</p> </td> <td width="96"> <p>Friday</p> </td> <td width="96"> <p>Saturday</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="92"> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>1</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>2</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>3</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="92"> <p>4</p> <p>Tacos</p> <p>Corn</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>5</p> <p>Lasagna</p> <p>Garlic Toast</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>6</p> <p>Chicken and Noodles</p> <p>Applesauce</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>7</p> <p>Leftovers</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>8 Bunco</p> <p>Grilled Cheese Tomato Soup</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>9</p> <p>Turkey Burgers and Salad</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>10 M - 42</p> <p>Davis Dinner Party</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="92"> <p>11</p> <p>Spaghetti</p> <p>Spinach Salad</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>12</p> <p>Oven Tacos</p> <p>Carrots and Ranch</p> <p>Pinterest</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>13STM 4 All</p> <p>Leftovers</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>14</p> <p>Ground Beef Stroganoff</p> <p>Broccoli</p> <p>Pinterest</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>15</p> <p>Roasted Chicken</p> <p>Stuffing</p> <p>Green Beans</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>16</p> <p>Cheese Pizza</p> <p>Salad</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>17</p> <p>Leftovers</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="92"> <p>18</p> <p>Meatloaf</p> <p>Mashed Potatoes</p> <p>Peas</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>19</p> <p>Ravioli Casserole</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>20</p> <p>Grilled Cheese</p> <p>Tomato Soup</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>21</p> <p>Newton</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>22</p> <p>Newton</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>23</p> <p>Newton</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>24</p> <p>Tacos</p> <p>Carrots and Ranch</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="92"> <p>25</p> <p>Chili</p> <p>Cornbread</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>26</p> <p>Hickory Cheddar Cauliflower Soup</p> <p>Pinterest</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>27</p> <p>Chicken Nuggets</p> <p>Mac n Cheese</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>28</p> <p>Leftovers</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>29</p> <p>Mandarin Orange Chicken</p> <p>Rice</p> <p>Peas</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> <p>30</p> <p>Salmon</p> <p>Asparagus</p> <p>Potatoes</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="92"> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> </td> <td valign="top" width="96"> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> Green Acres in the Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11853019819270924629noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882975272447187416.post-31084264109703864562012-11-15T11:18:00.001-06:002012-11-15T11:18:28.263-06:00Long time no post....<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I know it has been a while since I have visited you all. I have been super busy with Cameron's school and well I just needed a blogging break. I am back and feel rejuvenated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Today has been a "catch up" and planning for Thanksgiving day. We are loading up the new family truckster {long story} and will be heading to Newton, Kansas for a 3 day get away. Gigi will be turning 92 this year and my 3 Miller Men and I decided that we would take this Thanksgiving show on the road and head her direction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I have to say this Mama is a wee bit excited herself. Gigi, well lets just say she is beside herself too. I am sure it is all she has talked about at the beauty parlor and card table on Saturdays. She is a fabulous story teller. Heck at 92 think of all the stories she has stored up there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">I just planned the menu with a little help from my past years menu plans, </span><a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Food Network</span></a><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> and my new friend </span><a href="http://pinterest.com/patmaeg/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Pinterest.</span></a><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I swear there needs to be a 12 step program. "Hello my name is Maeghan and I am a pinterest addict". Here is a sneak peak as to what will be served at the Miller Farm this year.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">I am beyond excited that for the first time I get to make Thanksgiving Dinner at the farm. It really is going to be a Walton's Thanksgiving. Yes, I am still obsessed with how Olivia Walton could keep everything under control and in order with all of those children plus bake the perfect pie. I am working on that.</span></div>
