Hello and good Monday morning! How was your weekend? I enjoyed a project-heavy weekend of checking items off our to do list. I cleaned out the pantry and the shoe closet; David tore apart the shoe closet, spackled, painted, and started building nicer, wood-stained shelves for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took the girls shopping because H needed some shorts and shirts. K came along just to try things on and twirl in them despite me telling her she already had too many clothes and wouldn’t be receiving a thing. Fortunately she was thrilled just to play dress up. I truly don’t know where she gets these love of shopping genes from; not me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went to church and played card games. The girls got in a lot of play time with friends. We watched two episode’s of that survivor show, Alone. I got 90% off our packing for our upcoming BVI trip done. All in all, it was relaxed and quite nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taco night! Seasoned ground beef tacos with shredded iceberg, pico, black olives, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cilantro. Then I went back and made a pile of ground beef, guac, salsa, and sour cream to eat with chips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Salads (without crispy chicken, thanks to a sneaky pup) consisting of romaine, tomatoes, red onion, turkey bacon, blue cheese, canned chicken, and ranch with chips and guac on the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I experimented a bit with the idea of creamed spinach. I had one of those giant tubs of baby spinach so I cooked up some onions in butter, added some half and half and chive cream cheese, then cooked the spinach down in it. It was a little too liquidy but it was DELICIOUS over the bone broth rice. I roasted carrots and chicken breasts in the oven with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thursday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With soccer on Friday nights, our pizza nights have shifted to Thursdays, which feels like an early kick off to the weekend! I made two batches of bread machine pizza dough<\/a> and we eat almost two pizzas this size as a family. Cheese, pepperoni, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and chopped fresh oregano, basil, and parsley from the Click and Grow Garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well the rain cancelled H’s game and we were all super bummed about it. I still wanted the night off from cooking so we picked up Indian food. Local friends, Zaika in Mooresville makes the best Indian food; I highly recommend! Our favorites are the korma and the vindaloo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Saturday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chicken fajita bowls featuring grilled chicken (just seasoned with salt and pepper and pounded thin) over iceberg, a rice, cauliflower rice, black bean mixture, sauteed bell peppers and onions with cumin and garlic, plus sour cream, guacamole, fresh jalapeno, and cilantro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sunday<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Steak night! I used my best dang steak cast iron method<\/a>, which makes the most delicious steaks. However if your steak is closer to 1″ instead of 2″, put in the oven for 2-3 minutes instead of 5. Served with baked potatoes with sour cream and fresh chives (have I told you lately I love my countertop garden<\/a>?) and roasted broccoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
