If I could just get my butt out of bed in the am and get an early start maybe it wouldn't feel like I get nothing done. Hmmm, maybe that is what I will take on for Lent. <br /><br />Last night we borrowed your Salisbury steak recipe and the kids loved it. Thanks so much for that one! I have an 8 yr old who is very hard to please in the dinner department. Now if you have some tricks to get him to eat his veggies, please share as I am all ears.<br /> <br />My go to quick night recipe is chicken quesadillas or my knock off version of Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana soup. <br /><br />As a kid I remember Saturday am as being chore day. We struggle here to get these two do help. The little guy helps with feeding the dogs and the recycling. Now, the 10yr old, she is another story. Lazy and messy. Still figuring out how to best nip that in the bud.

My family approaches most things as a team effort so I have support but still can't get it together. Kids never had actual chores but they chip in where needed and with minimal fuss usually. My husband and kids are amazing. The reason I haven't seriously thought about doing a full marathon is the time committment.

The app is called COZI (http://www.cozi.com/iphoneapp.htm) and it's one of the free apps. We use it to keep track of our individual and family calendars, to do lists and we have an ongoing grocery list that is constantly updated. Recently I created another list that just contains dinner options. We check it off as we use the option (unless we have the staples to make it again) then after grocery shopping, I update the list with any new options... it's a helpful little app that we all can see, so if I need my husband to do the shopping or make the dinner, he has the basic info.<br /><br />Staple Recipe... nachos with all the fixings!

It's never fair to let the fatigue of marathon training bleed over into our family's lives. That said, I am the queen of early to bed when I'm marathon training and really lead a very quiet social life to ensure I am getting enough rest. Boring, yes, but it's my priority.misszippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816276167373260149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-5278340966710332702013-02-12T10:48:09.050-07:002013-02-12T10:48:09.050-07:00My fav time management tip:

Of course, at least one of them may be with myself, but so be it.<br /><br />My two kids (ages 9 and 12) are expected to do one chore a day M-F that they pick out of a bowl. If one of the chores they pick doesn't need to be done that day they pick another one. (I have two "fun" chores that are in the bowl, too, like "rub your tummy and pat your head" or "give mom a hug and a kiss" but if they pick one of those on Monday, then no more "fun" chores that week.) As I think of more chores that are age-appropriate, I add them to the bowl--and remove or expand those that become too easy as they get older.<br /><br />This has been working really well for us and having just two chores move from my list to theirs has done wonders for my stress level.

When my 3 were around age 5 or 6, they got very particular about their clothes. I tried to make them do their own laundry but they kept getting lazy and wouldn't do it. So, I started ruining their clothes on purpose. Only the cheap ones though. Like I would wash whites with new red things in hot water, and turn everything pink. My son HATED this. I told them I was too busy to sort all their mountainous piles of clothes, so if they wanted them a certain way, they'd have to do it themselves. Voila! I remember once when my son was in 4th of 5th grade, he left a note on the washer that read, "For the love of God do NOT put my clothes in the dryer." lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148184188823470523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-43840102317802980112013-02-12T08:36:35.701-07:002013-02-12T08:36:35.701-07:00I don't have a favorite Monopoly piece.

I do a loose meal plan and shopping list but I like to wander aimlessly through the store, browsing. My kid's only two-and-a-half and she has chores. <br /><br />One of my favorite easy recipes, based on an Everyday Food recipe:<br /><br />2 cups plain low-fat yogurt<br />2 garlic cloves, minced<br />1 teaspoon ground turmeric<br />1 teaspoon ground ginger<br />Coarse salt and ground pepper<br />4 bone-in, skinless chicken breasts halves (10 to 12 ounces each)<br />2 apples<br />1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro<br /><br />1. Preheat oven to 475° F. In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup yogurt, garlic, turmeric, ginger, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add chicken; turn to coat.<br />2. Transfer chicken to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 160° F, 25 to 30 minutes.<br />3. Meanwhile, peel apple; coarsely grate into a medium bowl. Add cilantro and remaining 1 cup yogurt; season with salt and pepper. Serve sauce alongside chicken.<br /><br />I serve with steamed broccoli and rice or quinoa on the side.<br /><br />You can marinade the chicken in the yogurt for several hours, so I do all that prep while my daughter is in school so I can just pop it in the oven later. I add a dash of lime juice to the apple-yogurt sauce to keep the apples from turning brown.<br />Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475477442377719233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-52820775385782265712013-02-11T22:41:02.427-07:002013-02-11T22:41:02.427-07:00Awesome post!
