Weekly Menu

We have a fun, but busy week ahead. Wednesday night is our Trick or Treat night. My mom will come over and she and I will sit on the porch, sip cups of hot tea, and pass out candy, while Doug will take the kids around. We always start the evening with a bowl of hot chili -- something the kids like, so they won't be tempted to skip the meal and eat a bunch of junk (they'll still eat the junk, but at least they'll have a good, hot meal in them first). Of course, on Halloween night we eat our chili in about the most unhealthy manner possible -- with big fat dipping Fritos!

On Saturday, I'm hosting a bridal shower. I haven't decided on a menu yet, but these cupcakes are definitely going to be on the table. Since the shower is mid-afternoon, I think we'll have a mix of savory and sweet foods, and likely none of us girls will need dinner after. The guys will have to fend for themselves.
