Greek Tortellini Chicken Salad and Veal Scallopini with Mushroom Cream Sauce, Sautéed Squash and Zucchini, and Roasted Sweet Potato with Cinnamon and Honey.

Ugh I'm so mad! I wrote out a huge blog earlier today and just came back to finish it and the whole thing was erased! Grrrrrrr! Well sorry for not posting for a few days, I've been super busy. Here are some cute pictures of Zara! 
She has been addicted to tv lately!
Its so amazing to see her watch it, not even knowing what is going on.
Showing off her cute onsie made from bamboo! It's so soft and comfy!!
Here we are trying out the front facing position in the bjorn. She loves being able to look around instead of just shoved in my chest haha!
My Valentines Front Table :)
I love these themed trees from Pier 1!
Going out to dinner with my grandparents, cheesing it up the whole time!
Sleepy face from just waking up but then she had a huuuuge blow out so we had to change out of this cute outfit.
Into this adorable one :)
My best friend who had her baby girl the same day as I had Zara just introduced Sophie to her daughter, Lana. So we did too! They are going to be such great friends someday! 

She loves Sophie!

For Lunch today I found this recipe on Pinterest and it's amazing! It's a Greek Tortellini Chicken Salad.

First I shredded a rotisserie chicken and put it in a large bowl.
Brought a large pot of water and salt to boil. Put in a package of 3 cheese tortellini and boiled for 8 mins.
Sliced half a red onion into thin half rings and threw that in with the chicken.
When the tortellini was finished cooking I scooped them out into the bowl.
I sliced about 8 sun dried tomato halves into thin strips and put those in.
Then I put in a few black, green olives, and feta cubes from one of those self serve stations at the grocery store.
Half a cup of grated Parmesan.
Half a cup of tomato basil feta crumbles.
Half a bottle of lite Greek salad dressing.
Some of my homegrown basil torn in.
Pinch of salt and pepper. Then mixed together.
It was so delicious!

For dinner I made Veal Scallopini with a Mushroom Cream Sauce, Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Cinnamon and Honey, and Sautéed Squash and Zucchini. It was really good.

First I peeled and cubed 4 sweet potatoes.
Then spread them on an oiled, foil lined baking sheet. Sprayed with olive oil and drizzled with honey.
Sprinkled with cinnamon.
Salt and pepper then put in the oven at 375° for 25 mins.

I sliced 8 large mushrooms thin.
Sautéed with olive oil till browned and the water evaporated. Put in a bowl.
Salt and peppered the veal cutlets. Then put 2 tbls of butter in the pan where I cooked the mushrooms.
Turned on high and seared the veal for 2 mins each side.
Turned the oven down to 200° and put the veal cutlets on a plate and into the oven to wait. Then put in 2 chopped Shallots and 1 clove of garlic minced.
After 30 second I poured in 1/2 a cup white wine.
When it cooked down I put in 1/2 a cup of chicken broth.
When it was reduced enough I added a spoon of Dijon mustard.
Added the mushrooms back in.
Turned off the heat and added a spoonful of sour cream.

I sliced a zucchini and squash into thin half moons.
And chopped half a red onion.
Heated some olive oil in a hot pan.
Threw in the onions.
Sautéed for a minute then added the squash and zucchini slices.
Sauteed then sprinkled with salt and pepper and plated.
