Happy December!

Do you ever feel like the Monday after a long holiday it excruciating? Ugh! I can’t get anything done!

This was Sid’s first eating Thanksgiving. He was only a couple of months old last year, so he didn’t try any of the food. He still won’t eat mashed potatoes, neither will his brother. What is wrong with my kids?

Now that Thanksgiving is over and everybody is (hopefully) getting over whatever cold/illness they have had. (all my boys were sick over the holiday, some worse than others) I can officially start planning all our Christmas events! Boy is it hard work!

This weeks meals will probably be quick and easy, I am talking casseroles and the crock pot. I have a lot of shopping/wrapping/things to do! The next few weeks menus will probably be the same way. Hopefully this weekend I can get them all planned out so I won’t have to think about them again, until it is time to cook them.

Menu Plan 12/02-12/08

Mon: Take n’ Bake Pizza

Tue: Baked Cheesy Chicken Penne (Chicken will be cooked in the crock pot)

Wed: Sloppy Joe’s with potatoes and Tater Tots

Thr: Crock Pot Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo (but sub canned soup with homemade cream sauce)

Fri: Leftovers

Sat: Kitchen is Closed

Sun: Pork Roast (didn’t make it last week)

Happy Cooking

It has been a crazy week and weekend.

Baby Sid’s party turned out fantastic. I can’t wait to put up some pictures.

I have seen him do a number on food and make a spectacular mess, but he didn’t really get that messy with the cake. The Jello though, that was everywhere, and the blue took forever to come off his fingers!

I will admit that I am still recovering from the event. It was really hard to try to think about what to cook next week. I don’t want to step in a kitchen for a month!
