2014 Week 13

We have had a yummy food week!
On Friday, our usual pizza night, we made
a delicious caramelized onion, pear, and gorgonzola pizza.
We served it with baby arugula on top, amazing!
 Sunday was just as yummy with buttermilk waffles and fresh berries,
followed by these chocolate chip and m&m cookies.
I think I've finally found a good recipe for high altitude cookie success!

Dinners this week (It's spring break week here, so I'm exited for dinners to be a little more slow cooked):
Sunday - Buttermilk biscuits (can you tell we're trying to use that up!), creamed kale and eggs.
Monday - Grilling out.  Green veggies, chicken and fish.
Tuesday - Taco Tuesday. Sweet potato and chipotle black bean with avocado cream.
Wednesday - Pesto pasta with tomatoes and a fruit salad.
Thursday - Peanut noodles with grilled chicken.
Friday - Pizza night.  Scott's in charge of toppings this time.
Saturday - Dinner with friends.

2014 Week 11

Mmmm, love those squishy cheeks!
 I found a Zoku popsicle maker on sale the other day.
It's a fun way to make homemade popsicles,
but you definitely have to make them a head of time.
Waiting the ten minutes for yours to freeze while your brother or sister is eating theirs is no fun!
 Scott make homemade monkey bread this weekend for breakfast.
Oh man, after a few bites, we have to put it away, too good!


Dinners this week:
Sunday - Scott's making corned beef and I'm going out!!
Monday - Shamrock shaped quesadillas and a rainbow fruit salad for kiddos, leftovers for adults!
Tuesday - Easy shrimp pasta and fresh bread and a green veggie after swim lessons.
Wednesday - Taco Wednesday! Fish tacos.
Thursday - Breakfast for dinner.  Frittata anyone?
Friday - Dinner at a birthday party.
Saturday - Homemade pizza. Either pear and gorgonzola with arugula or honey goat cheese and caramelized onions.  Pepperoni for the kiddos.
