My Favorite Lunch
I have this favorite lunch, see.
It’s super healthy, delicious, and just a little bit a work, but not too much.
Start out with these ingredients:
Not that fancy, and a little as four yummy things: Romaine lettuce, Caesar dressing, grilled chicken, and pita bread. I like the whole wheat. More fiber. Ha! No, just makes everything seem more healthy- like.
I make this almost everytime we have grilled chicken left over from the night before, which is rather often.
Mix it all together like this:
You can add tomatoes and black olives if you like. I usually don’t because it looks so delicious already.
And voila – you’ve got yourself a Chicken Caesar Pita!
You know it’s gotta be good, because even Zoe loves it.
Perhaps now it’ll be someone else’s favorite lunch?

I have pictures/stuff/things from the past few *months* that I keep thinking I’ll blog about. But alas, no time. The past undefined length of time has been about:
- working on the investment property in B-. Ben has been working there every free Saturday since April, about 7 months. I’ve been there cleaning several days in the past week and a half. There is a “for sale” sign in the front yard… finally.
- planning a Church Campout for our congregation, about 80-90 people, coming up in less than two weeks.
- planning a Ladies Tea Party Supper with Linda for the ladies at church. Kind of more Pottery Barn style than lacy Victorian.
- family vacation coming up in a couple days – a good part of a week at a location in South Carolina. Think beach and water and a loving family. I can’t wait.
- I’m back to teaching piano again, after taking a break over the summer. Just a couple students, but I’m enjoying it.
- Enjoying “cooler” weather. I say that in parenthesis and somewhat sarcastically, because it is still about 80-90* today. But it IS cooler than it’s been. Gotta count your blessings, right?
- Shopping for clothes for Zoe – who until a week ago owned only 2 long-sleeves shirts to make it through the winter.
- Knitting 7 scarves in a week’s time for a friend’s project. Watched the long version of Pride & Prejudice while doing it. Thanks, Veronica!
- And certainly not least, but a very wonderful thing indeed, is my sister Claudia visiting for a week! Zoe adores her, Olivia smiles at her unceasingly, and I am overjoyed with happiness. I love having her here.
My favorite quote, which reminds me of the northern states, that I borrowed from Jana…
“Delicious Autumn!
My very soul is wedded to it,
and if I were I bird I would fly about the earth,
seeking the successive autumns.”- George Elliot.

looks wonderful, and super easy! will have to try that sometime. wow. sounds like you have been ever so busy! SEVEN scarves? in one week? how on earth! that is quite the feat! would love to see them…knitting is such an art, but alas…one that I have not mastered. sigh. i guess that’s why i leave it to my mother to knit cute little sweaters and such for my children!;)
so happy for you that you have your sister there..noone compares to a sister! enjoy each moment!
great week to you!

looks awesome-i like pitas! chicken salad in pitas is good too!
Ok, I think I’ll have that for lunch for the next while as soon as I can get the proper ingredients together. (And did you know that you can *make* pitas? Not that you’d have time if you’re cleaning the “for sale” house, planning parties, and knitting scarves . . . put they are make-able and fairly easy.)
And as soon as you DO get a moment, I’ll be happy to hear/see your stories and pictures that have been piling up but just haven’t made it to your blog. =) Can’t wait! Have a most lovely time with your family!! And then when you get back, we’ll talk. Oh, and if *my* Claudia grows up to be as sweet and lovely as your sis Claudia, I shall be blessed! Tell her I said so.

Yum! Yum! Yum! You made me SO hungry for one of those. The Pottery Barn style tea party would really appeal to me…I don’t get much enjoyment from the Victorian type, unfortunately. Oh, and you KNIT?! Do you take orders?
@twofus_1 - my knitting is very basic – right now, scarves are the only thing I know how to make.
I’d love to increase my knowledge, but so far it’s very limited. Orders? If you’d like. 
I hope you don’t stress out too much planning your Church Campout
. Our church is camping this weekend & I have SO been looking forward to it; I feel like a little kid, I’m so excited!!! Which, by the way, I need to go finish packing for it. Have a good weekend!
