On top of it….finally!

After about three weeks of complete hell…alright, maybe it has been 4 weeks (eeerr, about 3 months) whatever, I'm finally getting organized and I feel good and I'm finally back to not drinking diet coke to stay awake anymore!!  Whoot!  Work, home, kids, me - its finally falling back in place, just when I thought it was never going to come back.  This week organization is coming back, everyone appears to be healthy and I'm ready for the weather to get a bit warmer so Wilson and I can get out running again in the morning but at least I can get out during the day.

On Saturday i made this menu!  Thats like five days earlier than I had been getting after it!  I ordered a box of organic veggies from my CSA farmer last week and got some great ones.  When there are fresh veggies in the house, everyone is happy.  So I made my menu off of that then Saturday morning and I had $62 dollars worth of coupons and discounts at Target too!  Proud Mamma!!

Here it is:

Monday:  Minestrone soup; using mostly CSA veggies and a few noodles.  This was great!!  Jaime told me over and over how much he loved it :)   If you guys eat soup, try this.  Its on my pinterest board called "favorite Meals".  It was so good, so healthy, delicious and pretty quick to make.

Tuesday:  This was supposed to be Turkey burgers but then I decided I wanted to go to Wine and Canvas tomorrow night so my kids are going to my sisters.  Sounds like Mac and Cheese, broccoli and apples for them.  Wine for me :)  Paul is going to have to eat leftovers or something.

Wednesday:  Brown Sugar and Garlic chicken in the crockpot and roasted broccoli.  Yum.

Thursday:  Broomball day and I have a babysitter coming - Turkey burgers with purple potatoes.

Friday:  Sweet Potato and Spinach pizza - this is a new one.  Sweet potato is the "sauce".  The spinach is supposed to be Kale but I used all of it when I made Kale chips over the weekend, hopefully the spinach does the same thing.   (BTW, if you haven't tried Kale chips, its on my pinterest board and my kids liked them.  We called them green chips, like purple chips, and they ate it.)

Have a great week, Ann!

Gotta hurry....

The girls slept over at their grandparents' last night and Jon went to pick them up.  So I am at home doing house stuff (dishes, laundry, etc.) with Nathan.  He's currently content on the floor, so I gotta hurry (now that I look at him he actually fell back asleep!  Nice!)...  Anyway, here's the menu.

Today - Superbowl/Superbirthdays dinner at my parents
Monday - Nathan's first day at daycare.  I don't think it will be too bad, but I want to have something easy so that we can cuddle when he gets home :-)  So we're going to try Cheddar Cheese Turnovers.  Sounds super easy!
Tuesday - Four Cheese Pasta with Peas and Ham
Wednesday - Homemade Hamburger Helper - Cheeseburger Macaroni
Thursday - Mexijita Chicken in the crockpot with Cilantro Rice- one of my favs we haven't had in a long time!
Friday - Leftovers or pizza
Saturday - DATE NIGHT!?!?!?

Have a great week!  Go Seattle!  Go Denver!  Oh, I don't care.  Bring on the commercials!

P.S.  I the time it took me to write this, Nathan woke up again.  He's hungry.  Gotta go!  Miss you Missy!
