Happy Monday!

It has been a busy couple of weeks around here…. including two weeks in a row of friends and family visiting from out of town!  There’s not much that I love more than having guests in our home!  It truly makes me happy!  Thank you to Kris and Tracy and the Hassetts for taking time out of your lives to spend with us!!  Love you all!

Thanks everyone for the great response to last week’s Kids in the Kitchen series.  It’s a great feeling to think maybe what we do here in our home inspires others, just as I am constantly inspired by you all!

This week I will not be posting a weekly menu.  Instead I’ll be spending my week creating more thoughtful menus that will allow at least two meals from one effort.  For example, I may have Creamy Mushroom Soup on the menu for Monday and on Tuesday a Broccoli, Rice and Mushroom Bake that can be made with the leftover soup.  Then Wednesday’s meal will be Crustless Broccoli Quiche made with the broccoli and onions that got prepped the day before for the casserole.

Hopefully this will make following my Weekly Menus easier and more efficient.  I will continuously be trying to bring you ideas that help make it easy to cook healthy dinners at home.

Have a great week!  Happy Cooking!  ~ Gena
