Weekly Menu 11/15-11/21

My weekend went by wayy to fast! I always hate that. You just start to get comfortable with your weekend routine and then it’s over. Such a disappointment.  But we had a good weekend.

We all got our hair done on Saturday and it’s amazing how much better you feel afterwards. Then that evening, we celebrated Josh’s brother turning 18 yrs old. He’s really grown into such a gentleman! My sister in law, Jessica was able to come up from college for the weekend and it was a surprise. I was so excited to see her I almost cried.

Oh Sunday Mornings…I really struggle Sunday mornings. I’m always tired and my bed is always wonderful and amazing. I had woken up at 3am with a horrible headache and it lasted most of the morning so that really slowed me down. But after I got the kids hair done, Josh took the kids to get the oil changed while I got ready for church and when he picked me up when he was done, he had Starbucks waiting for me, ( I love him) and it made my morning a lot better. I don’t think I really woke up till about about 10:15am…and I think the fact that we were singing worship this Sunday helped wake me up. All the songs were really upbeat and it was a great Praise time.

As usual, our Sunday afternoons were lazy and wonderful. Eden took a nap when we got home and Grace played quietly in her room while I made the grocery list and watched The Mentalist in the bedroom with Josh, sipping egg nog…which just so happens to be Eden’s new favorite drink, lol! She calls its Ache Nok :) We ended the night with finishing Mr. Smith goes to Washington, the kids going to bed, and Josh writing my newest guest blog post. You really should read it if you haven’t yet.

but we’re having the PRAISE HIM POTLUCK at Church and I’m not sure how hungry we’ll be…
As far as treats and desserts go this week…I’m not to sure. I’ll be making a dessert for the Potluck and maybe a side dish too…but we still have some leftover pumpkin bread in the house so I might skip treats this week since I know we have a birthday party this week plus all the yummy treats for the potluck.
Desserts/Treats

About 3-4 years ago, I was watching a Rachael Ray episode that was featuring guests and recipes to help with Thanksgiving. One of the guests was Paula Deen. Have you guys ever watched her. She is hilarious! She reminds me a lot of Julia Child. Anyways, she made this incredible dessert and I’ve been making it ever since and everytime, it’s a hit.
