Weekly Menu, March 13

We have reached the first of 2 spring breaks in our house. My son is home with me this week, and we had big plans…until this morning when he woke up feeling sick. We’ll see how the week goes now. Good news is that I get to play at home now so I’m hoping to do some experimenting in breakfast and lunch items. He can be my test subject.

Last week I tried out a couple new dinners and one was an immediate hit! I will absolutely be making the Alfredo stuffed shells again, but I think I need to add more cheese to the shells. We’ll see what I can play with. I also made cupcakes for my Mom’s birthday. They turned out A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. because of the new frosting recipe I’ve been experimenting with. I really need to get that recipe on here. I’ve used it as a layer cake filling and as a cupcake topping at it’s been amazing both times.

The other experimenting I’ve done is with lunches. My daughter will be starting kindergarten next year (what?!?) and she’s not a typical lunch eater. Sandwiches are out of the question, and peanut butter on anything is unacceptable. The boys in the house have been kind the last couple of years that I’ve made lunches for them. She’s definitely more challenging. That’s okay; it gives me a chance to try some different things.

I might also try making some fun dessert in green for St. Patricks Day on Friday. We’ll see. Have a yummy week. Enjoy!
