Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!
I would like to tell you I have a fun Cinco de Mayo menu planned for tonight, but I don’t.
I kinda forgot about it when I was menu planning and since I have already been to the store, it is too late to change it. Plus we just had Mexican food….
I am feeling in a cooking rut lately and I am having a difficult time coming up with dinners. Between Pinterest and my Plan2Eat menu planner/recipe book, I have tons of options, I just can’t seem to decide what to cook.
You might not know it, but I don’t really like food. There are somethings I can enjoy eating, but I would prefer not to eat. This has nothing to do with calories or weight gain or anything like that. I just don’t really like food, or the whole eating process, but I do like to cook.
So sometimes it gets hard to cook, because I don’t take pleasure in the eating, everything becomes a chore.
At least I know it will pass and I will once again enjoy cooking and menu planning.
Just so you know, it took a lot of effort to make sure this week’s menu wasn’t entirely made up of recipes involving Parmesan cheese.
Mon: General Tso Chicken with rice
Tue: Garlic Lemon Pork with Lemon Risotto
Wed: Heavenly Halibut with Parmesan & Basil Orzo
Thr: Sesame Beef with rice
Sat: Kitchen is Closed!
Sun: Mother’s Day!

Did everyone have a happy Easter?
I know my kids did. Easter really snuck up on me this year. We didn’t even go see the Easter Bunny and get pictures! I couldn’t believe it.
But the Easter Bunny was still kind enough to stop by our house with a few gifts and candy filled plastic eggs.
For lunch we went to my sister’s house and my nieces hid eggs for my boys and my cousin’s girls. And by hid, I mean they tossed them around the yard for the little kids to pick up.
Ian would run around grab a couple then put them in his basket. He was also really good about sharing and making sure his cousins and brother got some. After all the eggs were found, he picked up his basket and said ‘Whew. Dats a lot of eggs. I’m a natural.’
For dinner we went to one of my aunt’s house where these was a lot of family and good food.
Sid even got some ice cream for dessert.
I think these kids had more sugar yesterday than they did on Halloween!
Mon: Roast Chicken with Creamy Mac & Cheese
Tue: Cheese Burger Wraps (been trying to make these for 2 weeks now…they keep getting overlooked)
Wed: Italian Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops with Risotto
Thr: Tomato Basil Parmesan Tortellini
Sat: Kitchen is Closed!

Last week we went to my sister’s one night to celebrate my BIL’s birthday. Which meant I didn’t have to cook that night! WHOO HOO!
We had ice cream for desert and Sid would take a bite and make this really funny face and then laugh. So Ian also wanted to make a funny face for me to take a picture.
These boys kill me sometimes!
