This weekend has been absolute perfection and it's not even over yet: I get to sleep in tomorrow! Ahhh! I had a great time on my trail run on Saturday (I'll recap soon) followed by a solo sushi lunch, shopping, a nap on my couch and my favorite thing of every week - Saturday night dinner without the kids. Yes, it's a bit of a pain to eat late after they go to bed, but SO worth feeling like we have a date night every week. And today we had a lovely hike around one of our favorite kid friendly parks.
OK, food - last week's tortilla pie was a success and we'll definitely make it again, maybe experiment with ground turkey. The Indian cashew chicken had great flavor, but the sauce was a little on the pasty side; we might try it again and add a touch of whipping cream or half and half.
Since it's Memorial Day, we're switching up the usual Monday pizza and doing some grilling...
- Monday - hot dogs on the grill and trying this Lemony Roasted Potato Salad from Bev Cooks
- Tuesday - Pizza!
- Wednesday - Greek Turkey Meatball Salad
- Thursday - Baked Chicken Taquitos
- Friday - Angel Hair with Pomodoro Sauce (Saute garlic and onion with olive oil in a large pan, once they're softened add a 28oz can of whole san marzano tomatoes and mash with a potato masher, season w/kosher salt, pepper and crushed red pepper, cook about 15 minutes/until it thickens.)
- Saturday - Spinach and Blue Cheese Meatloaf and baked sweet potatoes
- Sunday - Chipotle Chicken Chowder
Linking up with Mommy Run Fast and Jill Conyers, as well as Rachel at In No Simple Language - be sure to check out all the great weekly menus!
Angel hair and pomodoro is one of my favorite pasta combinations. Yum!
ReplyDeleteYay for a kid free dinner date! I struggle to wait to eat until she's in bed, but that's a good idea. We also just booked a babysitter for next Saturday- I'm so ready to get out by ourselves, it's overdue!
