Find Your Happiness

Faith at Sweet Violet Photography posted their family menu for the week and I realized it has been a while since I participated in one of these. Our menu is already written on the dry erase board on our fridge so all I really have to do is type it here. Maybe our menu will give you a new recipe/idea. As always, our breakfast and lunch highly depends on what the toddler wants to eat that day :) so it's usually one (or combination) of these: Breakfast: eggs, cold or hot cereal, pancakes, waffles, yogurt, hotdog with rice, (always) fruit, smoothie Lunch: leftovers from dinner, salad with some type of protein (grilled chicken, hard boiled eggs, etc.), "cheesy bread" (quesadilla), mac and cheese, hotdog, PB&Nutella sandwich, more fruit Tuesday: Stuffed Cabbage Casserole with side salad Wednesday: Leftovers (we still have Turkey Stuffed Zucchini from Sunday night) Thursday: Crockpot Chicken Enchilada Soup (with some type of bread) Friday: Salisbury...

{one} when was the last time you used a pay phone (if ever)? High school? Gosh, I honestly do not remember! {two} did you ever fail a subject in school? No, but I got a C+ in American History in high school because I just moved here in US just a year before that. Up to that point, all the history I knew were Philippine and Asian history. {three} where do you go to get your favorite hamburger/cheeseburger? I'm not really a hamburger-type of gal but I could eat the Swiss Mushroom Burger from Phat Burger every week! It's a local burger joint here in Monterey and I will surely miss it when we move in a few weeks! {four} have you ever served jury duty? Yes, six years ago this month. The case was awful!

Purple; it's my favorite color! {seven} do y...

This is my first time participating on Menu Plan Monday over at Organized Junkie . I usually buy 5-7 worth of (dinner) meals every time we go grocery shopping and just cook what we feel like eating that evening, how much time I have to cook, and/or what we have going on that evening (study hall for hubby, church, etc.). But I figured if I plan ahead now and designate each evening with its own meal, it will be one less thing I have to think about that day. Also, it will remind me what I need to prepare (thaw, softened, etc.) ahead of time. Monday (today): Triple Cheese-Spinach Manicotti Tuesday: Lemony Lentil  Soup with greens (and I'm adding little Italian sausage meatballs [think Italian Wedding soup]) Wednesday: Coconut Chicken Curry ; I haven't cooked this before but it looks very delicious! Thursday: Cheesy Turkey Sausage Stromboli ; another new recipe. I've been looking forward to making this since seeing it at Stacy's Menu Plan Monday over at Deli...
