Some of you may be wondering WHAT the R word is.
Let me tell you. The R Word is Retard. This word may mean nothing to you. You may use it without even realizing you are using it. But let me explain something to you. This word HURTS. It OFFENDS. It STINGS. When you direct it at my daughter, it hurts. When you direct it at ANY individual with a disability, it hurts. When you say it in general, with no target in mind, it hurts. It hurts the individual who has dealt with being differently abled, such as my daughter. It hurts the mother who's child is differently abled. It hurts anyone who knows, loves or has met someone who is differently abled. The word "retard" does not mean silly. It does not mean stupid. It does not mean dorky. The word retard has no place in the English language. It is outdated and has no use in our language. By not using this word, you help us win the battle. By choosing to use it, you cause hurt to people and those they love. |

Whether you're a stay at home parent or you work in or out of the house, everyone can always use a quick lunch or dinner suggestion. Go to your blog and post one of your family's favorite sandwich recipes! Don't forget to link back to this entry and leave us your entry url (not the main url of your blog) here so we can check out what YOU like to make! In our home (when Ms. Celiac Disease isn't around) we enjoy a nice hot sandwich. Here's one of our all time favorites (and the kids don't even notice the hidden vegetables!) Veggie Grilled Cheese - 8 slices Nature's Pride Country White Bread
- 2 tablespoons Dijon-style prepared mustard
- 1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise
- ½ cup canned artichoke hearts, drained and finely chopped
- ¼ cup drained roasted red peppers, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 cups shredded Colby-Jack cheese
Combine mustard and mayonnaise and spread lightly on one side of each bread slice. In a small bowl combine remaining ingredients. Spread evenly over the mayonnaise side on four slices of bread and top with remaining four slices, mayonnaise-side down. Spray a griddle or Panini maker with nonstick spray coating. Heat over medium high heat and toast sandwiches on both sides until lightly brown and cheese is melted. Tip: check the salad bar at your local grocery store. Many times, you can purchase just the right amount of vegetables such as artichoke hearts and roasted red peppers, then you won't have a partial can or jar of vegetables remaining. If you do have left overs, mix them with some cream cheese and herbs to make a great veggie dip! Next week's Recipe Rally ingredient is Ground Turkey! |
