Thanksgiving is next week!!!! I’m still wondering where summer went and here we are full swing in the holiday season of commercials, coupons, and sales. Grace got irritated last week with the Christmas commercials saying,” We haven’t even celebrated Thanksgiving yet and we’re watching commercials for Christmas stuff. They should wait till after Thanksgiving!” But guess what she is already doing? Yup, she is making out her Christmas wish list. Oh, man! I told her I didn’t even want to think about it yet, lol!
I do love the holiday season so much though. But maybe it’s an adult thing…ever since I got married and had kids…which pretty much happened and 19 and 20 years old, it feels like time is slipping through my fingers. I mean, I can remember just yesterday celebrating Eden’s 3rd birthday in August. But it’s actually November 15th and the days go by faster and faster every year. Now I understand my mom always saying,”There aren’t enough hours in a day.”
Monday
Lentil Soup and leftover rolls
You all know my husband isn’t a Lentil Fan, but I did get a,”It’s good.” from him. I’ll take that as a compliment.
Tuesday
We really need to go grocery shopping tonight…so maybe we’ll make wraps using some tortillas.
Wednesday
Roasted Butternut Baked Penne with leftover butternut squash from the soup I made last week and garlic bread.
Thursday
Awana Night
We’re having a little Thanksgiving dinner with the kids
Friday
Chicken Mozzarella with Pomegranate Quinoa Pilaf
Saturday
Crispy Shrimp Pasta with a side salad
Sunday
We’re having our annual Praise Him Potluck at church on Sunday and I think we’re going to be pretty full afterwards so something easy for dinner. Our Southwest Breakfast Bowl Scramble will hit the spot :)
I’ll be baking and cooking quite a few things this week for the upcoming festivities. I’m making cookies for my hubby’s lunch and then other yummy things for the potluck :)
Desserts and other goodies
Crockpot Mashed Potatoes
I’m looking forward to a lot of these meals and desserts. And I am really looking forward to the holidays. Remember there are no calories on Birthdays or Holidays :)
