My Life as a Realtor – Day 219
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 219:
Anticipated storm never really came! Of course the kids were disappointed – but… I had the day to myself – trying to do as much work as possible…
For dinner, I made a dish that I had seen on Rachael Ray – Grilled chicken, eggplant, tomato and mozzarella cheese. Everything but the cheese gets grilled separately – drizzling olive oil and adding a dash of salt & pepper – stacking all and popping back in the over to just melt the cheese! Mmmmm!

Pasta – Inexpensive, Filling and Yummy!

Looking to stretch your dollar and make easy, nutritious and delicious meals – PASTA! I stock up when I shop at Shaw’s Supermarket in my hometown of New Fairfield, CT – when they have their 10 for $10 weekly sale items. Many times, it is pasta – my favorite!
iamchanelle – Flickr.com
There are so many different ways to prepare Pasta. Here are just a few…
- Martha Stewart’s – Cooking Pasta – Simple steps to help you cook perfect pasta.
- Rachael Ray – Salad-a-Ghetti – Spaghetti and Salad come together in one dish!
- Emeril’s – Shrimp and Pasta– Add some chilis, garlic, lemon and green onion – BAM!
- The Neely’s – Easy Lemon Pasta with Chicken – Somethin’ Outta Nothin’
- Rocco DiSpirito – Spaghetti and Meatballs – Now that’s a MEATball!

Please keep in mind that you can change these recipes around – omitting certain ingredients to suite your taste buds and your budget.

For an even healthier dish, use Whole Wheat Pasta. If your not crazy about the taste, mix half in with regular pasta!
iamchanelle – Flickr.com
Do you have leftover chili – chicken – veggies – steak – hotdogs? Cook some pasta, mix with your left overs and Voila!

I’m in the mood to Bake!
jspatchwork – Flickr.com
Oh how I love the smell of cake baking in the oven! Although, I have a secret… I prefer to bake by using box cake mix! Sometimes, I’ll use Pillsbury’s Butter Recipe and add cinnamon – or nuts – maybe apples – or pineapple slices – throw in some raisons or mix a bunch of these – anything, just to kick it up a notch! Also, by adding 2 tablespoons of flour, it helps take away some of the “box” taste – that’s my mom’s secret!

And if someone prefers blueberries, another chocolate chips and someone else wants it plain – make individual cupcakes – or divide the batter in half and make 2 loaves. Voila! Everyone is happy!

Here are some great recipes from where else, but my FAVORITE sites –
- Food Network <CLICK> has 2,788 recipes that came up when I search “Cake” – Wow! Too bad I couldn’t just back a cake for dinner for the next few months!

Making Some Pizza – Yumo!
jslander – Flickr.com
Lately, my family and I have been making homemade pizza– Yumo! Most of the time we buy the dough in our local supermarket – usually found near the deli, dairy and bakery departments.
jslander – Flickr.com
We’ll add fresh tomatoes, homemade sausage, tossed salad, different cheeses – or go cheese-less. Add sauce, fried onions, peppers and any left over veggies. It’s nutritious, inexpensive, filling, easy, goes great with soup during these cold winter nights and just plain old delicious!
jslander – Flickr.com
Here are some great recipes from Rachael Ray <CLICK> and The Food Network <CLICK>.
jslander – Flickr.com
Have fun and remember kids of all ages could help – and – you can prepare the pizzas ahead of time and just pop them into the oven to have a meal ready in a flash!
Maybe on of you will be daring and try a Fried Egg Pizza – ??
