Come Again?

Come Again?
I was driving the boys to school when I made the following statement, “My new lip balm smells like Dr. Pepper.”

My 10 year-old replied, perplexed, “You have a NEW lit bomb????!!!”

Yes, as opposed to all of my old lit bombs that smell like nothing special, this one smells like a favorite drink from childhood. Yep.

I Did Some Rearranging

I Did Some Rearranging
in my bedroom last weekend. I really like the results. Mainly, I moved our bed out of the corner and put a night stand there instead. But, tell me, do you think the rocket is too much?

Menu Planning, Again

Menu Planning, Again
This time, I’m planning menus for my family. I got tired of running to the grocery store every day, so this week, I tried to get organized and make a list of recipes to take me through 2 weeks. So far, we’re four days into the plan, so I don’t know how it will all turn out. Here, however, is a list of the menus. I’ll make comments later and offer the recipes (if one turns out to be particularly good.)

Homemade Macaroni and Cheese/Oranges/Mixed green salad with almonds and cranberries

Chicken Fajitas/Rice/Pineapple

Homemade Pizza/Assorted Fruit/Salad

Dinner out

Spice Rubbed Turkey/Pan-Roasted Broccoli/Fruit/Potatoes

Spice Rubbed Turkey/Pan-Roasted Broccoli/Fruit/Potatoes

Leftovers/Salads or Sandwiches

Chicken Cutlets with Olive Relish/Sauteed Zucchini, Peppers and Tomatoes/Potatoes

Turkey, Bacon and Cheddar Sandwiches/Cherry Tomato Salad/Potatoes

Homemade Macaroni and Cheese/Salad/Fruit

Leftovers or Breakfast for Dinner

Broiled Salmon/Rice/Salad

Shredded Pork Tacos/Crunchy Slaw/Fruit (2)

So, we shall see what becomes of my strategizing.
