WHERE did the last week go?
Oh yes, it was filled with
- the First Day of 2nd grade
- Back to School PTA President Duties
- Both-kids-are-in-school-time-to-clean-the-house
- Shopping for clothes because my daughter grew 1/2 an inch between July and August
- Getting up wicked early to make this Cheesy Ham and Hash brown bake for the PTA hosted Back To School Breakfast for our fabulous Elementary School Staff
Needless to say, I cooked this past week, I made several delicious things, yet not once did I photograph anything that I made. At no point did it dawn on me – “Oh Rachel, you don’t have anything in line for next week’s Mouthwatering Monday”
So, while perusing the tonguegasmically fabulous dishes that y’all linked up last week; my eyes were drawn repeatedly to this delicious Seafood Cocktail that Jane Deere linked up. I decided that y’all needed to discover this gem and this amazing recipe (although I will admit the ketchup aspect of the recipe skeeves me out.. I’m still going to try it) I love that this recipe features some of my favorite flavors: chili sauce, cilantro, onion, roasted peppers and more.
I urge y’all to go see “Ms. Deere” and discover the fabulousness that is her

Ahhhh…back to school. I’m dragging my feet, which isn’t helping the overloaded schedule this last week before school starts. It’s so hard to let go of the laid-back summer schedule. Best wishes to you and your family this school year. And thanks for hosting Mouthwatering Monday and for featuring that fantastic Mexican Seafood Cocktail – I’m betting it’s going to be a favorite around here!

Ah, mouthwatering monday!! I tried to keep up with you, I really did. But my times in the kitchen are few and far between these days. However, I just remembered that I had started a post months ago when you told the Cabot folks to send me some cheese!! I just finished it now. I hope it’s worthy to bask in the glow of your mouthwatering fans. So, without further ado (further than 4 months, that is), I shall do the linky thing. Just like old times.

You do sound very, very busy. Hope the kids are settling into a nice routine being back to school and hope that you are not too overwhelmed with all the extra duties you have on your plate this school year. I’m sure it will take a bit to get into the swing of things, especially being the Pres. of the PTA but you will be wonderful in this role and in no time at all the nervousness will be a things of the past and you be be handling everything with great ease and grace. Most important…enjoy it
Hi Rachel! This weeks recipe looks awesome! I’m the PTA President at my daughters school as well. LOL! Have a great year!
