Lou's Weekly Menu - Week of 2/14/16

Hi!

Happy (belated) Valentine's Day to you all! We didn't do much around here-- a bike ride to River Oaks Donuts and then a donut party in the park with our friends. We were going to go out to dinner, but B didn't nap so I pulled an audible (nothing worse than dining out with an overtired toddler...or just a toddler in general ;) So I threw some brats on the grill with an arugula side salad (fresh lemon juice and a little parm). I used to hate arugula but am really loving it lately. B even ate it too!
Saturday we ventured to the Katy Mills Mall. Whoa. That was exciting. I scored a few awesome things for the kids at Neimans outlet (Splendid and EGG brands), but I don't think we will need to go back anytime soon. And last night we went out with friends to Provisions (of Pass & Provisions). I had heard good things and was excited to try, but it kind of fell flat for us. The dishes were weird and we left full, but not in a satisfied way. Hate "wasting" calories like that.

Also, did everyone see this article in the NYTIMES this past weekend-- 36 hours in Houston. You guys grew up in such a hip place!

Ok, up this week:

Monday: OUT
Tuesday: Stuffed Peppers (JP hates bell peppers so I just made these for myself. I already ate about half the filling and it was delicious. Think this might become a new staple. Only 4 WW pts!)
Wedensday: Coconut Chicken Salad
Thursday: Out for a wine tasting party at JP's colleagues
Friday: One pan skillet turkey meatballs (I've made these before. They are easy and delicious.)
Saturday: Birthday celebrations- out with friends to a surprise location

Michi, good luck with all your travel! Have fun with Beth and super adorable Reed!
