can't help it ... I just love this song! Ridiculous, but so catchy :-)
Tomorrow is Friday peeps!! Tell me you are as excited as I am!! I pretty much love weekends. Weekends and I are BFFs.
I have BIG plans for this weekend - really exciting things like:
1) Clean House
2) Organize
3) Fill out boring papers
4) Put away my Christmas presents - *gasp*
5) Mark some student work
Yes ... I know what you are thinking ... "Jolene, you are one wild chick!!"
I get that a lot.
Okay I lied, it won't be that bad. I do have a friends b-day tomorrow, and on Saturday my little nephew is coming over for a sleepover! The weekend should actually be pretty darn good.
On to my eats from today ...
Breakfast was a toasted tomato sandwich (I colour outside of the lines folks - let me tell ya):
Mid-morning I walked past the staff room table and a chocolate chip cookie was calling my name. I may or may not have scarfed it down in front of my adolescent students who looked on longingly wondering ... "where is my cookie?" Muhahahahaha.
I had a disgusting looking (but great tasting) lunch of leftover cabbage rolls:
Sour cabbage seriously STINKS. But it tastes sooooo good!
I also had some cheese and an orange:
After work I came home to a wonderful aroma filling my house. Last night I prepped dinner for today, and this morning the hubby threw it all into the slow cooker. We made Moroccan chicken stew.
Moroccan Chicken Stew
- 1 T olive oil
- 1 diced onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 chicken breasts (or 4 thighs)
- 2 t flour
- 1/2 cup chickpeas
- 4 diced carrots
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 T tomato paste
- 1 1/2 t cumin

- 1 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
1) In a skillet, heat the oil and saute the onion/ garlic. Toss the chicken in the flower and then brown.
2) Throw everything in a slow cooker for 7-8 hours on low.
Enjoy!
I dipped a slice of bread in mine:
We ate pretty early, and so I had a few snacks tonight because I was hannnngry!
I had some goat cheese and rice crackers (my new addiction):
A red pepper:
And a grapefruit with a stevia pack sprinkled on top to sweeten it up:
Tell me bloggies ... what do you have planned for the weekend?

Stinky tofu is the same way - smells horrible, but tastes awesome. At least that's what my family says ...I don't get near the stuff.
You are so family oriented! :) love it! BTW I can't stop myself around goat cheese either! BTW I've been wanting to make morracan stew but with lamb lately! I've just been out of town alot! Why do we crave the same things?!
That stew looks rocking! I actually have the whole weekend off which NEVER happens in the retail world! We've been getting pounded with rain here in the southwest, but I'm hoping it stops by Sunday so we can go hiking!
I'm hanging out with the family. I can't wait!
Love the decorative "I" :)
The Moroccan chicken stew looks heavenly, I have to try that, you know me I love chicken.
Your weekend doesn't sound boring, I'm doing absolutely nothing, but I have had a stressful week, so I predict rest and relaxation.
