1. Italian Style Sheet Pan Supper
At Christmas I made a version of Simple Bites Sheet Pan Supper idea using turkey breast. It was amazing.
Last week I decided to do a sheet pan with a bit of Italian flare. I used thick, boneless pork chops, brussels sprouts, asparagus, red bell peppers, onions and bread cubes. I sprinkled everything with thyme and oregano.
Oh my gosh! It was so amazing. I should have taken photos, but I promise to make it again. And this time I’ll photograph the results and share the recipe. In the meantime, I encourage you to use the Simple Bites version as a great jumping off place for your own spin on it.
2. Grocery Shopping with Whole Foods List
On Thursday I realized I needed to go to the grocery store very soon, but the forecast was for heavy rain all weekend. So I woke up early and hit the store Friday morning before the rain started.
I printed the color-coded list for the Whole Foods plan. My cart was full of lots of veggies when I finished! The whole experience – printing, shopping, putting away – only took about 1 1/2 hours. And that included stopping at Starbucks for a coffee to sip through the store.
I love using the Weekly Meal Plans to make my life easier!
3. Update on the Dining Room Project
We spent the weekend building cabinets and furniture from Ikea. Next weekend we’re hoping to get the cabinets installed in the dining room. They’ll be set up kind of like a buffet. I’ll be sure to show pictures of the finished project. Here’s how it’s looking right now. Basically, we’re at the organized mess phase.
My dad has built and stained a wood counter top for us. I think it’s all going to look great when it’s finished! And maybe we’ll have a place to store the ironing board now. And the sewing machine. And tripod. And….
I’ve got some great recipes to share with you this week, including BBQ Beef and Bean Pot Pie, Double Chocolate Pretzel Brownies and Chicken Alfredo Pizza. All of this has been happening recently in my kitchen and I can’t wait to share with you!
