Remington's Rundown - My Day with Dad

Hey Doodle Lovers! It's Remington Bear here!

Both Mom and Dad's schedule have been all over the place lately. This has been hard on me, because it often times means I have to be crated while they are working. Mom and Dad hate doing this too me so one week when I had been crated for three days while Mom and Dad both worked, Dad surprised me and came home and brought me to work with him!

Dad had been working with some of the new recruits coming in to their police department. Everyone was outside that day so I got pretty much free reign of the area they were in! 

All you gotta do is give me my Frisbee and I'm a happy camper!

A bunch of the officers were playing football and tried to teach me how...

But I was much more into my beloved Frisbee to really care!

So instead I taught the officers how to play my kind of game instead!

Throw it for heavens sake!

Don't worry! I got it!

Boy was it a fun day with Dad and all his friends! But I was so tired afterward :)

Time to sign off... WIGGLES!!

Stats for the week of April 27th - May 3rd... I am loving the nicer weather we have been having. It just makes my days so much more enjoyable. Maybe that's why this week seemed to fly by! Dan's schedule was a little whacky this week so we didn't see much of each other so Remi and I were attached at the hip :) However, we didn't take any walks together which is an absolutely crime! I was kind of cramp most of the week, which my doctor said was a sign that I needed to slow down. I really did try to take it a little bit easier since it definitely scared me a bit.

Stats for the week of April 20th - April 26th... I finally made it through my reign of being in charge at work. Thank goodness that is over. I can't tell you how happy I was with my supervisor came back from vacation and I no longer was the one that was hounded with management questions from my co-workers. PHEW! However, once Thursday came and she was back in the building I felt like my body just crashed. It was like during the time she was gone I knew that I had to be at the top of my game and when I finally no longer had to be my body just felt physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted.

Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Stuffed Shells

When I ran across this recipe I really didn't think it would turn out that great. It was just something that didn't look too hard and didn't take a lot of ingredients. However, it turned out so much better than I ever expected and Dan even said it was one of the best meals I have ever made! WHAT!

Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Stuffed Shells (www.sweetdashofsass.com)

Ingredients

• 1 jar (16 oz) alfredo sauce
• 2 cups canned chicken 
• 2 cups cooked broccoli, chopped
• 1 cup shredded cheddar (or mozzarella) cheese
• 1/4 cup shredding parmesan
• 21 jumbo pasta shells, cooked
• 1 1/2 - 2 cups spaghetti sauce (optional, but I love the combination of alfredo with tomato sauce)
• salt/pepper to season (if needed)

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix alfredo, chicken, broccoli, and cheeses.

Spoon mixture into pasta shells.

Grease 13x9 baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Evenly spread spaghetti sauce on bottom of baking dish.

Arrange shells in baking pan.

Cover with foil and bake 35 minutes until heated thru.

Remember that the noodles need to be cooked prior to stuffing. I cooked them 1-2 minutes under what the package says... that way they will fully cook when baking in the oven!

Dan rated this meal a 4.75 out of 5 stars! He raved about it for weeks!

Stats for the week of April 13th - April 19th... My supervisor has been out on vacation which means I've been in charge of our department for the past 12 days! YIKES! This also means the entire building is my responsibility... and that my friends means a tremendous amount of walking! PHEW! I made it through last week without any problems, but dang I came home most nights soooooo tired! All I know is that this job keeps me in good shape!

Easy Baked Salmon - My Favorite Meal So Far!

If you didn't know... I'm a huge salmon lover. When I go to a restuarant and the salmon isn't too pricey I will almost always pick it! I love it so much and it's also healthy for you! When I came across this recipe I thought to myself... "it doesn't get easier than that!" And that is how this became my most favorite meal I have tackled so far during my cooking experience.

Easy Baked Salmon (www.sixsistersstuff.com) 

Ingredients

• 1 large salmon filet
• 1 bag of frozen brussel sprouts
• 1 bunch of thin asparagus
• 2 Tablespoons of olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons of butter
• Garlic salt, salt and pepper, fish seasoning

Place the salmon skin side down in the middle of the pan.

The trick for cooking brussel sprouts is to buy them frozen in the ready to steam bag. Cook them as directed on the package. Once they are cooked put them on one side of the salmon. Place the raw asparagus on the other side of the of the salmon.

Drizzle olive oil over both vegetables and sprinkle with garlic salt.

Sprinkle your salmon with salt, pepper, garlic salt, and fish seasoning. 

Cut your butter into small chunks and place it all on top of your salmon.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes (or until salmon is cooked through - check the thickest spot).

Now you have salmon, and two veggies for dinner! So yummy and good for you!

Dan rated this a 4.5 stars out of 5, but my rating is what matters on this one and I give it a 5!

Try it! I promise you won't regret it!

Stats for the week of April 6th - April 12th... Not much to report for this week. It was a short one for me as I had Monday and Tuesday off, then went back to work for three days, and was lucky enough to have the weekend off as well. I felt pretty good all week long except for being so dang tired. I have so much I need to get done yet I find myself coming home and going to bed by 7:30. On the weekends, I sleep for 14-15 hours straight. It's ridiculous! I feel like I am giving so much of myself during the week that when I do have a few days off I just crash. My supervisor is on vacation for the next week and a half so I'm hoping all goes smoothly while I'm in charge. Hope everyone has a great Monday!!!
