Weekly Menu

.

This past week I felt like we muddled through. Nothing exciting -- no feast days, no celebrations. It was pretty boring (although I had some happy customers on tortilla soup night and breakfast for dinner night). I'm going to try to liven it up a bit this week.

On Saturday night, we're having some company (Doug's parents and aunt and uncle) join us for deep dish pizza. Nothing exciting, but nice to share with family. We had a warm afternoon today (all of 51 degrees) and I got in the mood for a summer meal. I think we'll have a indoor picnic on Sunday evening, and maybe a movie. I'm trying one new recipe or two this week and still trying to pare down the grocery bill. Like Dori said, "keep swimming, keep swimming..."
