I can’t wait to share my fun weekend at BlogHer Food with you…but at this very moment I’m completely wiped out, so I’m going to take a nap instead. Until then, please enjoy these homegrown tomatoes from Katie at goodLife {eats}. ALL of my tomato plants died this summer…I blame the dirt and a suspected virus. It certainly couldn’t be me, right? Katie felt guilty literally swimming in healthy, homegrown tomatoes, so she carried a bag on the plane all the way from Albuquerque to share with me. Now that’s food blog love if I’ve ever seen it. Thanks, Katie!
On to the menu! You would think a weekend at a food blog conference would have me fired up to cook. Nope, it actually has me fired up to be a better photographer. I may end up playing with my camera all week instead of cooking!
MONDAY:
– Homemade margherita pizza
– Salad
TUESDAY:
– Tacos of some kind – there was a lot of taco talk this weekend, feeling a bit inspired
WEDNESDAY:
– Chilaquiles – this was on TWO menus last week and I haven’t even heard of them, so I’m giving it a try. Figure I can incorporate leftover ingredients from taco night. Recipes are welcome!
THURSDAY:
– Leftovers
FRIDAY:
– Baked loaded potatoes (Sherri S put this on her menu last week…sounds really good to me for some reason…Nate doesn’t really like potatoes…he’ll have to suffer for one night….aren’t I sweet…should I keep doing ellipses…is it annoying yet…)
– Salad
SATURDAY:
– Eat out
SUNDAY:
– Butternut Squash Risotto – doesn’t that sound good? I think I’ll add some chicken to it, as well.
– Salad

I had such a blast with you! Wish I had gotten to the party earlier because it was fun and the tacos there were really good. Enjoy the tomatoes!
I have no idea what’s on my menu. I am crazy and hosting recipe club here tomorrow morning. I’m making the risotto for that because our theme is “Food Network Stars.”
I haven’t checked the fridge, but I’m sure a run to the store is going to be part of the plan.
xoxoxo
It was nice to finally meet you in person! Hopefully we can get together again. I love Katie too, I am jealous of her tomatoes:) I hope you can get some rest. We are still in CA so I have no cooking plans yet. I will worry about that on Tues:)
