Week 15 2014 Menu

What happened to weeks 11-14? They didn't. *Cue Twilight Zone music*

Life just happened. What can I say. We were still cooking and setting menus, but I didn't post. Shame on me.

We're coming back from an amazing time in California to celebrate Cristina's 25th birthday! It was awesome- good food, good drinks, pool time, family time. It was all awesome. The highlight was when a girl fell in love with Alex at the bar and was creepily standing just outside of our circle laughing at his jokes. Polky-dots, we will never forget you!

Here's what we have going on this week:

Monday: French Onion Braised Chicken
Tuesday: Garlic Shrimp and Quinoa
Wednesday: Salmon (Lou's with Dill or Asian-inspired)
Thursday: Sloppy Joes
Friday: Out to Nellcote with some friends
Saturday Brunch: With the Hannas!!!
Saturday dinner: Leftovers + Asparagus soup
Sunday: Easter! We'll spend the day with family in the suburbs

We're also starting a vegetable chart for the girls. It's really basic, but it's a star chart to make sure they have a variety of fruits and vegetables in a week. There are rows for Red, Orange, Green, Blue, and Purple, and we put a sticker in that row if we eat that vegetable that week. According to mom (and Traditional Chinese Medicine) the goal should be weekly which completely feels attainable. Plus putting in the form of a star chart makes it fun!

My goal for next week is to try one or two new recipes.

What are yall up to this week? (Minus Eli who is prancing around California for the next 18 days!!)
