Sunday: Miss Cricket's Birthday! We had a special dinner of smoked ham, salt potatoes (little potatoes cooked in very salty water, then tossed with melted butter and fresh minced herbs - yum!), and roasted broccoli & cauliflower with sharp cheddar cheese. We finished up with homemade devil's food cake with strawberry whip cream.
Monday: Omelets with mushrooms, spinach, mozzerella, red bell pepper, and leftover ham.
Tuesday: Salmon, baked with lemon and herbs; sauteed green beans; Israeli (pearl) couscous pilaf
Wednesday: Pasta (spaghetti squash for me) with an Italian turkey sausage ragu; green salad
Thursday: Taco salads with all the fixings!
Friday: Split pea soup with leftover ham in the crock pot; homemade cornbread
Saturday: Roasted chicken; and I haven't quite decided on side dishes yet.
Frugal Notes: We did a good job of shopping for Cricket's birthday this year. I bought a couple of things on sale, and actually remembered coupons for some items too! I also remembered to use coupons when grocery shopping, for a few things. I don't make much of a habit of coupon clipping because so many of them are for things I would never buy. But, the buy-one-get-one free organic salad mix was nice!
Weight Loss Notes: A stalled week, due mainly to eating too much over the weekend. Back in the saddle today though, and waiting eagerly for Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred dvd to get here (Netflix). I am on week 4 of the Couch Potato to 5K running plan as well. The running is 3 days per week, and I plan to try out level one of the dvd the other two weekdays, or something like that.
Hope everyone has a good week!
Sounds like a delicious week!!!!
