The Spicy Monte Cristos from last week were a huge hit! So much so - we're having them again this week :) I was hoping to make a menu to get us through to Christmas, but that's just not happening tonight. At least next week's run will (should) be a quick one.

Review time! I absolutely loved the mini taco cups. I'm sure most of it is due to my love of Mexican food and even more so my love of condiments, but still - they were great and fun! (I'll put the recipe in a seperate post.) See?

Next up, the Pinwheels with Roasted Veggie Sauce. Another hit! The flavor was amazing and it was almost like a cream sauce without actual cream. I'm going to have to save this recipe for when it cools off, though. Roasting veggies at 400 degrees for 40 minutes is not the best idea in 105+ weather!

And last, but certainly not least, the Zuccini and Ricotta Gallete. Oh. My. Goodness. The crust was so buttery and flaky and the ricotta/cheese filling was rich and creamy. I'm sure it's not the best for you so it's definitely a treat. Not to mention all the prep time that goes into it. So worth it though. I plan to try a tomato/basil version next time. Yum!

I have 10 meals planned for the next week and a half. We're off on another adventure and I'm hoping to only make one quick trip to the store for basics after today. Keenan's out of town 3 nights this week and I'm still battling morning sickness so most of these are quick and easy.

Time to get back on track! Between travelling and the holidays I've been out of my usual menu making routine. While we had fun, I'm glad to be home and getting back in the swing of things. Ari will be back in school, we'll go back to the Y and we'll all need to eat some good food! It's supposed to be really cold this week so I've tried to plan some hearty, feel-good meals to keep us warm and cozy.

I almost forgot to post my menu this week. I'm not going to be able to do my weekly shopping tomorrow morning so I went yesterday (and was quickly reminded why I don't shop on Saturdays anymore!).

I did end up making the Orange Chocolate Brownie Cookies with M&M's from The Crepes of Wrath and they were amazing! I have all the ingredients on hand for the Banana Chocolate Chip Cherry Muffins and hope to make those sometime this week.
