Recently, Nate and I drove by this large lake on the way to Half Moon Bay.
That particular morning the air was beyond still. The lake was serving more as a mirror for the sky than a body of water. Neither of us had every seen so much water sit so quietly. It was stunning. Nate had the presence of mind to pull over so I could jump out and get a quick snapshot or two. I’m so thankful he stopped because on our way home the glass was gone, the water returned to its ripply self.
I know that has nothing to do with food, but I just had to share it with you!
So, what shall we eat this week? (Be sure to read Wednesday’s menu item!)
MONDAY:
– Aaron & Lindsay’s Chicken Tortilla Soup Extravaganza!
TUESDAY:
– Chicken Stir Fry
WEDNESDAY:
– Chicken Paninis (Cate has been requesting these a ton lately…and not just the sandwich kind. Yesterday at Target she was BEGGING for a panini in the swimsuit department. No one-piece swimsuits for her, apparently. She particularly liked the string panini. We compromised with a tankini, which is most certainly not as delicious.)
THURSDAY:
– Leftovers
FRIDAY:
– Spaghetti
– Salad
SATURDAY:
– Eat out
SUNDAY:
– Some yummy flavor of sausage, on the grill
– Veggie of some sort
– Zatarain’s Rice & Beans
Please take a moment to post your menu for the week, no matter how fancy, simple, complex or incomplete!
A few post-scripts: Thank you to all who have been linking to recipes in your weekly menus – it’s so helpful! I’m sorry to those of you who don’t live near a Trader Joe’s, I keep tempting you with their delicious goods…but you really should consider moving.
