We have been eating very well lately and this week is no exception. I've never made red beans and rice before, but it's full of things I love so I'm sure it'll be good. I'm also excited about the cheese muffins. Mike and I have been drooling over them since he found the recipe so we are really excited to try them out ( Read more... )

I've been menu planning, just doing it late and not posting it here. And I've been kicking myself because I use my Monday Menu posts as much for myself to look back on what I've made as I do to share with you what I'm making.

Tuesday: Sweet and sour chicken
Wednesday: Baked spaghetti (without the hamburger) with garlic ( Read more... )

Short menu this week. This Saturday after months of training, is Pelotonia. So I will be busy doing Pelotonia-esque things on Friday and Saturday and Sunday will be spent recuperating. It will be my very first century ride. I'm excited and scared and intimidated by the whole thing. I can't wait.

Meatless Monday: Vegetarian chili shepherd's pie.

Meatless Monday: Pizza pretzels and carrots and dip.
