Bad Blogger...better mother!

So... there's a up-side to everything right? Week one of the job chart and the dinner menus went great. With a little pre-planning it's not nearly as hard as it is to try to decide to cook something an hour before Dave gets home with only ingredients we have on hand and didn't shop for ahead of time!
Our Menu was as follows-

Saturday-Whole wheat pasta with Grilled chicken and veggies
Sunday- London Broil and oven red potatoes
Monday- Meatball soup (Deceptively Delicious recipe, in which I successfully hid 1/2 c. of pureed carrots and 1/2 cup pureed sweet potatoes!)
Tuesday- Crock Pot Chili
Wednesday- Chicken Nuggets (Deceptively Delicious again- hid 1/2 c. sweet potato puree in the batter and 1/2 c. ground flax seed in the breading)
Thursday- Dinner at my parents
Friday- Dinner at my parents
Saturday- Dinner out

(We don't usually eat that much at my parents house, but we were spending long hours working at the tie warehouse and were just always invited over afterwards for dinner...and we DON'T SAY NO to dinner at mom's house!!!)

Our job chart also went well, and the house is looking pretty spiffy! Dave is a huge, wonderful, amazing, terrific Help, and supports me in everything I do....this all would not be going so smoothly without his help, encouragement, and praise. I LOVE YOU DAVEY!!!

Now for your viewing pleasure, a few pictures from our Utah trip-








Jaxon REALLY loves to have his picture taken...can you tell???
