Weekly Menu and Birthdays

I have two birthdays to get ready for this week and Patrick will be out of town all week. So that means that I will be doing a lot less cooking. Ok, I say that, but in reality I will just be spending less time on daily dinners. I plan on making two large salads that can be used for both lunch and dinner and then only two more meals. But have no worries, I will also be making a few party foods for our tiny get together this weekend.

Mom's Macaroni Salad
- This was a summer staple growing up. Not the healthiest but add a side of veggies and I don't think it's that bad.

Asian Noodle Salad
- I've been sneaking around the Tasty Kitchen website and found a few that I just can't wait to try. In fact, last weeks Coconut Curry was from there. Yeah, I know. I need to post about it. Just in case I don't get to it.... It was a total do over. LOVED IT. So will be trying another asian inspired meal.
It also looks great for a take to work meal.

Chef Bowls
- CM has a deal were you buy their premade meal and get salad and bread for free. A night of not cooking? Sign me up!

Chicken
Yep, that's it. chicken. I have no idea what will go with it.

How bout a few extras....
Caesar Wonton Bites
- My world has been opened to wonton cups. It might never be the same.

Homemade Graham Crackers
- Did I say I wasn't going to spend as much time in the kitchen?

Chewy Sugar Cookies
- Already made a quick batch this week....WOW!

Homemade Granola Bars
- Ok, I may be going overboard now.
