Looking through my camera roll, I realized that the majority of the small number of photos I took this week were of...you guessed it...food. Riveting stuff, I know.
Monday we had a quick change of plans and made homemade pizza and a delicious salad.
Tuesday, Madison and I made these yummy green chili chicken enchiladas. They were good, but the beef ones will always be my favorite!
On Wednesday, we tried a new recipe, and will definitely make it again. It was pasta with ground beef, cottage cheese, and sour cream.
And yesterday, I threw some chicken legs in the crockpot, mixed a sauce together, and let that cook all day. Then, I put some rice in the rice cooker and fresh broccoli in the steamer basket, and dinner was served! We make a meal plan each weekend for the upcoming week, usually for three meals, and this week we stuck to it, except for switching grilled cheese on Monday to homemade pizza. I plan my meals based on what we have on hand, and then buy anything that looks good! Those chicken legs were on sale this week, and I am glad I picked them up for a quick and delicious meal last night.
Madison made a pan of brownies for dessert and for us to snack on during the week. She also makes the best homemade whipped cream that makes a great addition to my morning coffee.
I was holding on to winter and all the cozy this week...
While Steve was all about spring and walks on the beach!
Lastly, from the files of "How Did This Happen?"
March??? Last week was Christmas, right? March used to be right up there with dentist appointments and high school Physics tests, things you had to get through before something better came along. But as I get older, I don't mind the mostly uneventful days of March that serve as a bridge between the cozy days of winter and the brighter, warmer, promise of spring-filled days of March. Add in some leprechauns and March Madness basketball and you have a darn good month, don't you think?
Well, time to get going. I hope you all have a lovely weekend, however you are spending it. Thanks for visiting!

Um... yum. That's all I've got to say!
ReplyDeleteLove your thoughts about March being a bridge between the cozy days of winter and the brighter, warmer promise of spring-filled days of March. xx
ReplyDeleteYour meals always look so good!
ReplyDeleteI have a sign in my living room that goes with your shirt. It says "Let's just stay home". I put it out every winter after Christmas because that's how I feel in the cold and snow. :)
Hooray for March and Spring in view!
I get where you'd have lots of pics of food. It's the same over here! Always dreaming on the next meal plan. Everything you made looks so good and is making me hungry! Thanks for sharing the recipes too. Agreed that March is kind of like a nice cozy calm before soaking up Spring's goodness. I love just the dreaming on Spring and anticipation almost as much as when she shows up. 😉💐 Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me hungry! I hope that the month of March is a good one for all of us. Have a good weekend. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteAll the food looks so good, especially the pizza. I love your cute shirt and really pretty red sweater!
