May 2 - 9

Sorry to be MIA last week. Between some extra things in our schedules and roll-over meals, I ended up sneaking in a quick grocery trip mid-week and flying by the seat of my pants to get us through. Taking the week off from menu planning really messed me up, though. I was just not motivated to get back at it tonight (I'm trying to switch my shopping day to Sunday as it's getting quite difficult to shop with the girl). Anyway...here's the plan for the next week :)



Eggs Benedict



BLT's with Fruit



Tex-Mex Cesar Salad



French Dip Paninis with Carrot Sticks



Lasagna



Quinoa Burgers



Garlic Hanger Steaks with Sage Butter Gnocci

Oct 5 - 11

Not much to report this week. Tuesday is National Night Out and our neighborhood is having a party complete with hot dogs - we were just asked to bring a side dish or dessert. I'm planning on bringing the summer corn and bean salad and, if I have time, a batch of Cyndi Gray's famous oatmeal cookies :) Saturday we'll be having friends over and I'm planning on making the Garlic Hanger Steaks and Sage Butter Gnocci - it looks and sounds fancy, but is really easy and tastes so good. Here we go!

We had a couple impromtu invites to dinner this week so I have some roll-overs. We're also going to have the Paella again when Keenan's parents come in for Ari's birthday - it's really good! The 3 cheese baked ziti was also a hit and will be featured tomorrow night as leftovers.
