Menu Plan Monday

To see what other people have on their menu this week, for tasty recipes or to share your own menu and recipes, visit Laura @ I'm an Organizing Junkie.

Monday- Pizza's (Hawaiian and Chicken Club) *Can I tell you I just love having my own pizza oven...forget pricey, greasy order in or take out.

Tuesday- Chicken fajitas and rice

Wednesday- Chicken wings, left over rice and assorted crudites

Thursday- BBQ ribs, strawberry spinach salad and baked potatoes

Friday- Chicken fingers and potato wedges

Saturday- Taco Salad Bowls (this recipe looked just so good when I clicked on Laura's link!) *TIP: We add other garden salad ingredients to our taco salad, including diced celery, quartered cucumber slices, diced peppers, ect. My husband also adds his favorite salad dressing (Kraft Zesty Italian) over top. We serve with fresh, crisp dill pickles on the side as well.

I hope everyone has a great week. This week is 10% Tuesday at our local grocery store and there is also a great sale at a local meat place so I plan on stocking my freezer and pantry with lots of fun things for the next while. Plus with a new BBQ to break in, and summer finally approaching (although the rain outside right now doesn't seem to indicate summer approaching) I plan on testing out some new salad and bbq recipes.

Happy Valentines Day

When I am teaching, Valentines Day is usually spent in Edmonton at teacher's convention (unless it falls on a Monday or Tuesday). Last year I made dinner (a rosemary and thyme chicken with roasted garlic baby potatoes and carrots and atossed salad with an olive garden like dressing) and dessert (chocolate covered strawberries) and grandma came to stay with Ryan so we could go see a movie (music and lyrics). This year, grandma is in Edmonton at work related meetings. Brad is sick (he was supposed to leave work this afternoon once everyone else arrived and go to emergency since his cough and chest congestion kept him up all night), my leg is still sore and Ryan is being a really grumpy bear.

I had planned a nice dinner (sundried tomato chicken, roasted baby potatoes and carrots and chocolate covered strawberries for desert) but I couldn't find nice fresh strawberries so I am making a chocolate cake instead. I don't know if I should even make the dinner, I don't know if Brad will feel up to eating it plus making dinner involves a lot of standing and even that hurts my leg. I did find some frozen strawberries though and am thinking of making strawberry smoothies to have with dinner.

Ryan picked out a little Winnie the Pooh valentine for Brad and a 3 pack of Lindor chocolate hearts. I got Brad a card and a new computer game (Half-life 2:Episode 1) which he will probably want to play this weekend while he is off. I have a little valentine card for Ryan as well and a book (Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree). He loves Winnie the Pooh. Everytime he sees Winnie the Pooh (or piglet or tigger) he keeps saying "pooh, pooh" over and over and tries very hard to reach out and get it.

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Hope yours is a good one!
