Step 1: Start out the day with sunshine and cool temperatures, cool enough in fact, for a sweatshirt.
Step 2: Keep the temperatures cool enough so that a chalk drawing contest could produce this masterpiece without the threat of a water fight:
Step 3: Be taken, due to the temperatures, to a movie instead of swimming!
Step 4: Treat 5 campers to popcorn and watch their eyes light up.
Step 5: Spend the afternoon at a forest preserve watching said 5 campers chase butterflies and bullfrogs
Step 6: Come home to create a great dinner in 6 steps:
-
Lay down a La Tortilla Factory foundation:
- Top with torn basil leaves:
- Top that with fresh sliced tomato:
- Add sauteed chicken (preferably with garlic):
- Then, top with halved fresh mozzarella balls:
- Last, wrap it up, heat in a pan, halve and enjoy!
I’m calling this one a Chicken Caprese Wrap (you know, because of the whole tomato, mozzarella, basil combo, then I added chicken… creative, I know!)
Step 7: Come home to a relaxing evening with my love, my pets, good food, and a comfy couch.
Tomorrow, we’re taking our entire camp up to Milwaukee for the Brewers vs. Mets game… I don’t know who to root for, being a Cubs fan! It will be a good time, no matter what though!
Today’s camper quote of the day: “So, when I was really little, like before I was born, I peekeded out of mommy’s belly button because I wanted to watch Monsters, Inc. No, really! I remember! It was like a liiiiitttlllleeee tunnel.”
Have a wonderful evening!
fun tomorrow!!!

What a great quote! And man, that’s a tasty looking wrap. I think I like that you’re busy so we get to see the quickest and easiest stuff you got in your arsenal of recipes, as I rarely want to spend more than 10-15 mins cooking after a long day at work/gym/etc.

That is some ooey gooey chicken wrap action right there. I bet it would be great with those grilled peppers instead of the tomato (ya know, for those of us who aren’t friends with the tomato).
