This Week's Menu

-
Every Sunday I make out the week's menu and a grocery list. Lunches are usually Amy's frozen entrees, left overs, salads, or tortilla wraps with hummus and cheese.
I thought I might post the menu every once in a while, both so I can remember what I made and also in case it might start a dialog. I'd love to hear what your week's menu contains.

This week:
Monday- Sushi Roll Edamame Salad with steamed Salmon and Miso-Onion Dressing from Appetite for Reduction
Tuesday- Quinoa pasta with Eggplant and Seitan (I made this one up and Michael can't get enough of it)
Wednesday- Crock pot day! We're having Pumpkin and White Bean Lasagna and salad from The Vegan Slowcooker
Thursday- Lentil and Eggplant Chili Mole with Scallion Corn Bread (Uncle Larry has lots of eggplant in his garden) from Appetite for Reduction
Friday- Pizza and Thai Crunch Salad from Peas and Thank You
Saturday- we'll go out with friends before my dad's gig at Cheatham Street.
Sunday- Pantry/Freezer day where I look to see what I have and create something out of it.

How about you? What are you making?

we are doing a lot of quinoa pasta combos...have yet to try seitan but we did do a sausage quinoa pasta with gouda cheese in it (Soren's new favourite.)

This week it was vegetable stew over gouda potato pancakes (I love this one, we use lots of shredded veggies, including all the colourful in season squash) and I have tons and tons of tomatoes from the garden so I chop those up and add them too. We also made a turkey chili and ate off that too!

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

-
The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
