Menu Plan Monday

I'm not sure how the weather is where you are, but we are gearing up for another very cold couple of days. Lows tonight around -10 and then highs in the single digits tomorrow. Part of me loves the coziness associated with a cold winter day - blankets, tea, movies; but part of me hates going out in the cold to get to work, run errands, and such. The kids have tomorrow off - I like that they at least let us know earlier today so that they can go to bed knowing that they can sleep in.

There are still a few new dishes in this week's plan, some of which we simply didn't get to last week. The winners from last week include the Buffalo Chicken soup and the creamy tomato shrimp pasta. I hope to share those recipes soon.

Sunday
cereal
grilled cheese with ham (used my homemade rye - yum!)
Parmesan Breaded Chicken and Asparagus

Monday
Pizza

Tuesday
Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo

Wednesday
Tacos

Thursday
Buffalo Quinoa Salad

Friday
Leftovers

Saturday
cereal
sandwiches
Hot Dogs and other game food

As we are now back in school, the kids either pack or buy the hot lunch at school. My husband and I rely on leftovers, frozen meals and lunch meetings for lunch.

In 2014, Monster Jam will receive 26 hours of original programming on FOX Sports 1 followed by a minimum of two re-airings on FOX Sports 2.

National Pie Day

Today is National Pie Day. I think it is fun that everything seems to have it's own holiday and who doesn't love a good pie?

My favorite pie is Lemon Meringue or a good mixed berry. What is yours?

I wanted to share a pie recipe with you, but I didn't have any ready, so here is a recipe for mini cannoli cups, which use pie crust for the shells.
