WIAW [Grillin & bakin]

Wednesday’s have officially become an obsession of mine thanks to Jenn over at Peas and Crayons. Nothing better than posting up your delicious munchies while gawking over the yummy foods of others.

Peas and CrayonsSo link up and join the party peeps Smile

First up is my favorite meal of the day…Breakfast of course!

What’s better than having a jar of cinnamon raisin pb? Having an empty one for OIAJ!

Topped with plenty of delicious granola!

For lunch I spent the day with Frankie so we decided to make an indoor bbq Smile

Our chicken skewers with onions and zucchini and corn on the cobs were in place!

The final product! Yumm. I had one veggie skewer made just for me Winking smile

For dinner we made more of a bake

His

And mine

We boiled rotini pasta, cooked up chicken, and sauteed zucchini on the stove top. Then we used a pyrex to layer the pasta, chicken, and zucchini topped with Ragu pasta sauce and mozzarella cheese. This went back into the oven for about 10 minutes until the cheese was ooey gooey and melted!

Win? You betcha!

Delicious down to the last bite!

So what’s your favorite meal of the day? Lunch, breakfast, or dinner? [I vote breakfast!]

    Love the idea of an indoor BBQ! Grilled foods just scream summer (which officially starts in 1 week!!!)

    And breakfast is for sure the best meal of the day… No questions asked 😀

    I love OIAJ! I saw my husband heading for the trash with an empty jar of peanut butter, so I practically flew across the room in slow motion yelling, “No! My OIAJ!” Waste not!

    That is my FAVORITE type of PB! That must have been an epic breakfast 🙂 Dinner is probably my favorite…but breakfast used to be before I got all “afraid” of consuming too many calories in the morning. Working on that for sure!
