Isn't it ironic?

I actually quite like that song, 'Isn't it Ironic?'.  It popped into my head as I was thinking that last week was one of my least busy weeks in a few months, yet I didn't take time to make a menu, I really didn't cook anything for dinner all week and I was pretty pathetic about grocery shopping.  Hmmm....

Menu for the week:
Monday:  BBQ with Friends.  We're grilling Rosemary Ranch Chicken!
Tuesday:  French Dip Sandwiches with a Vegetable Platter and Fruit Salad
Wednesday:  Honey Lime Enchiladas with Sweet Pepper Rice and Garden Salad
Thursday:  Sliced Ham, Sweet Potatoes, Green Beans and Morning Glory Muffins
Friday:  Pizza Night!
Saturday:  Mom's Night Off!
Sunday:  LasagnaBreadmaker Bread, and Garden Salad

Mother's Day!

What a great day I had today.  I admit, I am hard core spoiled!    My husband made sure that every nook and cranny of today was wonderful, what a guy!  I hope I fit into my exercise clothes tomorrow, I did some serious eating today!  Ha!  Yes, he made this amazing breakfast and this delicious dinner with a fantastic pineapple upside down cake for dessert.  I know, he's dreamy!

Here's my menu for the week:
Monday:  Chili and Cornbread (I love the chili recipe in the BHG cookbook)
Tuesday: Teriyaki Chicken and Vegetable Fried Rice
Wednesday:  Smoked Turkey and Artichoke Paninis  with Kale Chips and Apple Slices
Thursday:  Beef Enchiladas with Garden Salad and Fresh Fruit
Friday:  Mom's Night Off :)
Saturday:  Scrambled Eggs and Toast
Sunday:  Dinner with friends

Couples Retreat

Judson and I received a gift to go on a 'Couple's Retreat' this past weekend.  It was so nice to get away and spend some uninterrupted quality time together.  I think the highlight for me was dancing on Friday night.  The retreat had a professional come in and teach the couples some country dancing--so much fun!  I used to country dance 4-5 times a week before I got married (yes, the grades suffered!).  The dancing took me back to my college days, and I loved it!  The best part....Judson declared afterward that he'd love for us to go on some dancing dates!

Here's my menu for the week:

Monday:  Bourbon Chicken, Brown Rice and Stir-fried Vegetables
Tuesday:  Taco Pie
Wednesday:  Panini Caprese Strata (2nd place with the casserole contest) with Strawberries and Salad
Thursday:  Marinated Turkey Cutlets, Sweet Potatoes and Spinach Salad
Friday:  Pasta Bar!
Saturday:  Mom's Night Off!
Sunday:  Mother's Day Dinner--I'll let my family take care of this meal :)
