Meal Planning: Week of March 4th (and Cougle Dinner recap)

Review of last week:

I don't have much to review, other than to say that we deviated from the meal plan quite a bit!  We did make the baked pasta, which was easy and delicious (and Ben enjoyed it)!  We had crab cakes instead of ravioli, a turkey pot roast (Costco) instead of black bean tacos, and tonight, we will be having braised pork shoulder with pepperoni sauce instead of soup and sandwiches - a mighty fine upgrade if you ask me!

We also had a lovely dinner at the Cougan's house last Saturday!  Everything was beautiful, delicious AND she even made our new favorite dessert - Pineapple Upside Down Cake at mine and Peter's request :) 

 

Rachel made this water and it's my new obsession: cucumber, lemon, rosemary and mint.

 

Great parenting in action!  (#Survival)

 

Mid-sneeze and modeling some Stella & Dot Jewels!

And since you cannot really see it in the pictures,

this is the special outfit Ben picked out to impress Peter :)

Here is what we have planned for next week:

Monday:  BBQ Chicken Quinoa Salad

Tuesday:  Spinach and cheese ravioli (Costco - the frozen kind, which was suggested as an even more delicious alternative to the refrigerated kind that I already know and love), with an assortment of roasted veggies.

Wednesday: Chicken taquitos, homemade guacamole

Thursday: Cod and salad

Friday:  Brenna and Noah are coming over for dinner, so I want to be sure to impress them (her) with a recipe I know is delicious :)  We will make Chicken Saltimboca, risotto, roasted carrots and a green salad.
