I’m back from the BlogHer 11 Conference and all I want to do is sleep! Boy, am I tired, but it was a great weekend. The best part by far was rooming with Allison, Marie and Rachael…oh, and the view from our room at the Marriott wasn’t too bad, either. Oh, and we went to a party hosted by the Hostess with the Mostess…the whole time I was kicking myself for not having my camera on me, she is unbelievably talented!
Now that I’m back from this trip, our family is officially back to normal. No more travel, just time at home getting ready for the start of school and preparing for baby boy’s arrival in just 6 short weeks. All of this means that we’re back to eating dinner at home more regularly, as long as I can stand being on my feet at the end of the day!
MONDAY:
– Boursin Turkey Baguettes
– Fresh fruit
TUESDAY:
– I think I’ll do a pasta with tons of veggies, since we have a bunch in the fridge to use up! Probably something similar to this Moosewood recipe, but with whatever vegetables we have in the fridge.
WEDNESDAY:
– Hot dogs
– Corn on the cob and fresh fruit
THURSDAY:
– Leftovers
– More corn on the cob (it’s the last week our CSA has corn on the cob, so I ordered double!)
FRIDAY:
– Eat out
SATURDAY:
– Pulled Pork Sandwiches (using this pork with this sauce)
– Coleslaw
SUNDAY:
– Breakfast for dinner…probably omelettes because we have a ton of eggs to use up this week!
Okey dokey, your turn! Please share your menu for the week…fancy or plain, organized or not!
