This Weeks Eats 5.18.14

Alas, the race today didn't go as I'd hoped.  Funny enough, it was a record of sorts - a personal worst!  I was thinking that if I put those pie in the sky hopes out there, that they might come to fruition.  Isn't there a whole book on that, The Secret?  Guess I should have kept things a secret!  I'm feeling okay about it and I've already decided on my next goal race, which will be next year.  Any further half marathons I run this year (like Beat the Blerch OMG) will be for FUN.  I may try to work on my 5K or 10K time, though...  

I decided that no matter how it went down, my sixth half marathon needed celebrating!

I also made sure dinner was as simple as possible tonight, and this favorite old crock pot recipe for Korean short ribs did not disappoint.  Neither did the mashed potatoes to which I added all that extra butter, because I EARNED it.

• Monday - Pizza
• Tuesday - Pioneer Woman Spicy Shredded Pork over Salad with Homemade Ranch
• Wednesday - Baked Chicken Taquitos from Our Best Bites (Yes, we make these a lot - they're one of my husband's favorites.)
• Thursday - Mozzarella Grilled Cheese with Pesto and Tomatoes (I thought I'd try this recipe from Tyler Florence as my mother in law is flying in late in the day and I want to make something easy.)
• Friday - Alpine Chicken Casserole (A favorite that both my husband's family and my family have made for years, similar to this one I found on Allrecipes.com.)
• Saturday - date night!
• Sunday - Spaghetti with Ground Italian Turkey (Made the same way we do Saturday Night Pasta, just changing up the meat and pasta shape.)

As always, I'm linking up with Org Junkie, Mommy Run Fast and Jill Conyers - be sure to check out all the great weekly menus!
