Wow, last week was a busy one! Busy, but so nice to get so much checked off my to-do list! I’m *this* close to finishing the girls room and hope to share some photos mid-week. Happy to have a long weekend to simply rest and relax with my family today.
Here’s what we’ll be eating this week :
Meatless Monday : Potato Corn Chowder. A great dinner for a day spent at home. Nothing better on a cold day than a comforting bowl of soup. And bread. Because bread makes everything better.
I’ve selected Monday as a night of the week for our family to eat a meatless meal as it tends to be more budget friendly as well as a friendlier option for the environment. My meat and potato eating husband tends to go along with this idea because I also make him a yummy dessert in addition to his meatless meal. What can I say? I’m nice like that!
Tuesday : Slow Cooker Balsamic Shredded Beef. Andy’s request for the week. I scored two three pound roasts last week for $13, so I’m happy to oblige. Seriously, if you haven’t tried this, you absolutely must. SO GOOD!
Wednesday : Chili Lime Chicken Burgers. My favorite of the burgers that we make at home. Moist and so full of flavor. I love to serve them with sweet potato fries.
Thursday : Roccos’s Fettuccine Alfredo. My favorite – and healthy! – alfredo recipe.
Friday : Pizza. The perfect signal to the weekend. It’s been fun to see the girls really get into pizza night and their requests for toppings can be quite humorous.
