Meal Planning Monday...Is Back!

DSC_0057

As you can tell by the title of this post, my meal planning Monday feature is back in action.  I was amazed by the number of people who emailed to say they missed seeing what we were eating for dinner each week.

I didn't stop for any particular reason, but what I did notice  is that when I wasn't sharing my meal planning here, I was a little more lax in executing a proper plan for our week.  This space kept me accountable for getting a good dinner on the table each night!

Here's what we're eating this week.  Feel free to leave a note in the comments sharing what you plan to cook up this week, and if you have a plan of your own, please do link to it.

Monday: Pasta with peas, pesto and smokey sausage, apple and fennel salad

Tuesday: Green lentil soup and cornbread

Wednesday: 30-minute pizza with spinach and feta, quinoa salad

Thursday: Butter chicken and naan

Friday: Brown rice and veggie bowls with poached eggs

PS - The photo above is from yesterday...We made it out to the sugar bush and Rob and Jackson competed in the Flapjack Olympics.  They won the bronze medal in the pancake stacking competition with a whopping 29 stacked in one minute.

Parties From the Pages: The Dr. Seuss Collection I'm in love with the idea of finding party inspiration and menu ideas from within the pages of a beloved story book. For years (yes, years!)

With Dr. Seuss's birthday being celebrated tomorrow, his collection of books seems like an ideal place to start. My 13-month old niece totes around One Fish, Two Fish, Red, Fish, Blue Fish everywhere she goes, making me think that a party like this one can really span the ages. My party menu is rather simple, and includes a sampling of foods that could be easily assembled. Green Eggs & "Ham" 4 hard boiled eggs 3 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 teaspoon dill weed 1/4 cup baby spinach leaves 1/4 cup crumbled bacon pieces Slice the eggs in half and transfer the yolks to...

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Grainy Mustard Sauce I turned 36 in January, and while I know in my head that I'm fully an adult now, most days I still feel like I'm 18 years old. I like a lot of the same music that I did back then, and I fondly reminisce about Friends and Party of Five (that show was so good!). My sister and I can text for hours about things we remember from the mid-90’s, as if they happened yesterday, and even the grey hairs that stare back at me in the mirror fail to make me feel much older (hey, they can easily be concealed). There is one thing though, that has shown me I’m officially “grown-up”, and it’s not the kids, the husband, the jobs, or the dog. It’s not even the bills. It’s the food. On a recent date night, Rob and I literally salivated over a shared plate of roasted...
