General Conference weekend was beautiful and inspiring.  The one year anniversary of my dad's passing was thought provoking and honestly, quite hard.  But it filled me with greater determination to do and be better.  I'm so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ and for the eternal nature of families.

Here's my menu for the week:

Homecoming week done!  I can't believe it was Keaton's last one!  Because he's an officer, this last week was especially crazy for both of us (but mostly for him:).  He did a great job on his assembly video, it was so fun to watch.  After his date on Saturday, he and 29 others piled into our backyard and watched a big screen movie and ate s'mores.  So much fun.  I'm going to miss not having anyone to dote on for dances next year :(

Here's the menu for the week:
Monday:  Lettuce Wraps YUM
Tuesday:  Torta Rustica YUM with Marinara, Fruit Salad, and Spinach Salad

Homecoming week this week!  Keaton is taking one of his cute officer friends.  I guess we'd better get working on a shirt, tie and corsage!  That is one great part about having all boys, dance attire is easy.  No modesty fights--haha!  I'm looking forward to helping cook scones at the Homecoming Powwow on Wednesday and then helping with the tailgate party before the football game on Friday.  Reliving my youth:)

A few friends and I are trying our hand at freezer meals this week.  I've done it before with my college roommate, Karina, and I really loved it.  Maybe because it's just more fun to cook with friends!  Here are the recipes that we're using...
