Week 29 Menus @ The Mirshaks

Hello! I'm so excited for this week because it's a short week!! Leaving for Houston on Thursday night with Annelise. Will and Amelia join us on Friday. I have a feeling Amelia is not going to take well to being left behind. Not only is she already fighting me on it ('But last time we went all together on the airplane!'), but she has also been a big mamma's girl lately so Will might have an interesting time traveling with her on his own. We'll see!

Given that, this week's menu is light, so here's what we have going on:

Sunday: Spicy scallops and couscous That recipe was awesome- really recommend it! Girls loved it. Annelise stole a scallop from my plate when I wasn't looking. I also made this basic vegetable soup for the girls to eat throughout the week. I used to have that for dinner all the time when I was living in Paris. Hope the girls eat it!
Monday: Spaghetti and meatballs. Will's out of town, so something easy and brainless :)
Tuesday: White boy tacos (just ground meat- turkey, beef, or bison) with seasoning and beans. Low brow.
Wednesday: Shepherd's pie
Thursday - Monday: Houston for dad's birthday!! Can't wait to see everyone!

Hope everyone is doing well! xo

Whew, what a weekend!

Had a great weekend with my sister, bro in law and nephew here in Austin! So many fun things happened-- great Mexican food, went out on the boat, took the dogs to Barton Springs, went to the new children's museum. And now I am soooo pooped. Just enough energy left to clean the bedding (clean sheets on a Sunday night? Da best), sweep, and empty the dishwasher - a good start to the week.

Sun: Pecan crusted rainbow trout, roasted brussels, smashed baby potatoes

Mon: Turkey chili, cornbread, grilled okra. I always just buy this and add beans, corn, meat.

Tue: Out to dinner at Cru with a girl friend cause I'm supposed to blog about it

Weds: Breakfast casserole I've been meaning to make

Thurs: Chipotle lime salmon with tomato avocado salad

Fri: Almost never cook at home on Fri nights

I feel ridiculous doing this, but I've been getting groceries delivered lately.  Absolutely no reason I should be doing this instead of going myself but whatever. There's a new service in town that delivers within 1 hour of placing your order online and it's just soooo nice.

Week 27 Menu

Hope everyone had a good Fourth of July!! We had an awesome time with Eli and Alex in Minneapolis. There are a ton of mosquitos in Minneapolis- tons! As of yesterday, Will was still recovering from drinking with Alex until 2am. The girls had so much fun and Annelise especially loved hanging out with Alex - it was adorbs. Eli can't wait to have you and Sal in Chicago!

I am going a bit crazy with work this week so I don't have too much exciting to write. Here's the menu though. Womp womp.

Monday: Sausage pasta
Tuesday: Chicken Enchiladas
Wednesday: Chicken Curry
Thursday: Crockpot Balsamic Pork Tenderloin
Friday: Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
Saturday: My cousin Lydia and her boyfriend are coming over so I'm thinking burgers or something like that
