NOOOOO!!! Tell me it’s not so! It’s my worst nightmare! That’s right, it’s wallpaper. I am telling you all, I don’t care if it was in style EVER, it should be a crime to hang that stuff. It is downright evil. When we first bought our house it was in every room and had at least 3 layers. We had removed every last shred of it up until our little ceiling fiasco on Saturday when the last of it showed up under the drop ceiling.

I know what you’re thinking, why in the world would you want to take that down? It’s just so pretty!

Spray, scrape and repeat. Spray, scrape and repeat……

With all of our pretending to be on an episode of “This Old House”, I haven’t had a whole lot of time to think about preparing five star meals. This is probably one of my most favorite things to have during the summer time, sish kabobs. My mom always made these a lot during summer because they are an easy fix. You can get the ingredients prepared the night before or first thing in the morning and forget about them until it is time to assemble them.

All you need is:

Bamboo skewers

Zesty Italian dressing

Veggies of your choice (I use white mushrooms, onion and green pepper)

I can of pineapple chunks

Meat of your choice (chicken, steak, sausage, kielbasa or shrimp)

Soak your skewers in water for 3-4 hours. Cut up your meat and veggies and marinate in Italian dressing. Alternate all of your veggies, meat and pineapple onto your soaked skewers. While you are grilling them, use a pastry brush to apply more dressing to keep the veggies from becoming too dry.

I also did a little experimenting today and came up with these yummy muffins to serve with the kabobs.

You don’t have to use both kinds of cheese if you only have one.

I hope you enjoy!

And here are a few pictures for Aunt Lindsay at her request. But you can look at them too
