2013 Week 9

Brrr.  It's a cold, snowy Sunday here in Colorado!

It's making me want to put something in the crock pot, 

something full of winter veggies and warm all day.

Like this chili with sweet potatoes.

Or this veggie stew with chickpeas.

Sunday - Veggie chili and baked potatoes, warm and comforting.

Thursday - Breakfast for dinner, maybe a frittata and home fries.

Friday - Homemade pizza night!  I'm going to try this yummy recipe for the adults.

2013 Week 6

Here's how I spent my weekend, watching the cutest Novice team swim to Mickey Mouse.

I just noticed how the two girls on the right are high five-ing, love it!

We are heading to a sad superbowl party today, since we're all still upset about the

Denver Donkeys being out of the game.

At least now we can focus on the important parts, the food and the commercials!

I'm bringing this Vegan Spinach and Artichoke dip that I'm excited to try.

Here's out dinners for the week:

Sunday - Crab boil Superbowl party

Monday - Baked pasta dish, easy with pasta, sauce, ricotta and mozzarella.

Tuesday - BBQ tofu with a green veggie and brown rice.

Wednesday - Maple baked lentils with sweet potatoes, fresh bread and a salad.

Thursday - Taco/quesadilla night. Maybe fish tacos for the adults.

Friday - Homemade pizza night, looking for a cheese free version for myself.

Saturday - Dinner out with friends.

Have a fun week everyone!

2013 Week 5

I'm really trying to enjoy these last few months of mornings with my little man.

We have just registered L for full day kindergarden and that means that our mornings spent 

digging for fossils will be coming to an end.  

Even though that's eight months away, I still find myself tearing up at the thought.

Dinners this week:

Sunday - Hot dogs on the grill and veggie sides.

Monday - Something easy, maybe a baked pasta with a salad.

Tuesday - Chickpea curry on a cold night.

Wednesday - Soup and fresh bread.  Either tomato or chili corn chowder.

Thursday - Chipotle sweet potato and black bean tacos, with 'dillas and guac for the kids.

Friday - Homemade pizza night!  We're coming up with new combos, but last week's caramelized onion, zucchini and mushroom will be hard to beat.

Saturday - Dinner out!

Have a great week!
