Warning: The following paragraph may make anyone living on the east coast very jealous and possibly a bit angry at me. Please don’t hate me! I don’t control the weather! 🙂
The weather has been amazing this past week. Yesterday we went for a nice long walk, which included a stop at a French pastry shop. Between the weather, the food and the good company, it was an ideal way to pass a few hours.
I have a few carry-over items on my menu from last week…one night we ended up going out to dinner unexpectedly. Another night we were invited to dinner at our friends’ home…by the way, dessert pizza cooked in a brick, wood-burning pizza oven is HEAVEN.
MONDAY:
– Green Noodles
– Salad
– Crusty bread
TUESDAY:
– Frittata
– Fresh fruit
WEDNESDAY:
– Beef Stroganoff with yogurt and dill (recipe in the February Real Simple magazine I want to try…it’s not online yet…if it’s good, I’ll type it up!)
THURSDAY:

FRIDAY:
– Baked French Toast
SATURDAY:

SUNDAY:
