I'm sitting here planning my grocery trip and the next three night's menus for dinner. Cook's Illustrated web site offers menus and corresponding recipes if you become a member. It would be nice if this were free, but it actually is a pretty extensive wealth of information. It is so windy and rainy today... but I'm going to brave it in the quest for food! Monday
Sweet & Tangy Oven-BBQ Chicken
Mashed Potatoes and Root Vegetables
Broccoli with Garlic, Pine Nuts & Parmesan
Tuesday
Sugar Snap Peas with Ham and Mint
Classic Mac and Cheese
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Wednesday
Simple Beef Chili with Kidney Beans
Avocado-Orange Salad with Romaine and Lime-Cumin Dressing
Cornbread
I've also started to clean out Caroline's bedroom in an effort to start the painting process. This is taking much longer than I thought! We have three or four boxes of books to donate to the library and I've only done two bookshelves. She's outgrown her American Girl dolls so that all has to be packed away. She has a huge bag of stuffed animals to donate also. It's actually a little sad doing all of this because it definitely shows how much she's growing up and letting go of being a little girl. Though she is still hanging on tightly to special toys and books so I know my little girl is still there beneath this teenage facade!

Those menus sound delicious! I know, I hate to see my kids grow up! :( But there are fun parts to every phase, right? :)
It does sound delicious to me! I have to clean out my little girl's room also... she wants to change everything... they do grow up so fast...
