How crazy was the Boston Marathon today?? I couldn’t watch at work, but I was following updates and wow! Who knew running could be such a nail biter! Reading about it has fully amped up my running bug. I really have no plans to BQ (Boston Qualify), but a little part of me would LOVE to run that race.
Fun Fact: Mutai (and really about 19 of the top finishers) finished a FULL marathon in about the time it takes me to run a HALF marathon. Damn they’re speedy. (4:25 pace!!!)
The rest of the work day was dull in comparison — so much so that I drank a Diet Rock Star @ 3:30. Ummm that was dumb. Thanks for enabling me Carol 
I hope I get to sleep before 2:30am tonight!
Because of yesterday’s shopping spree, the weekly grocery trip was postponed until tonight. I DID get everything though AND spent less than usual. Boo-yah!!
This is what’s on the table this week (and by table, I mean what we are eating in front of the TV):
- Mac ‘n Cheese – B’s request. Does it help that it’s organic? Hmmm probably not.
- Mandarin Orange/Cranberry Chicken Salad
- Fish Tacos
- Poppyseed Chicken (<—and old college favorite!! I still make it Martha!)
- Beef Stew
- Tortellini Soup
In case you didn't know what Mac 'n Cheese looked like
I’m feeling like I’m in a bit of a rut with my menu…I need to do some branching out next week for sure. Send me your recipes!!
And since it woulnd’t be Monday without pictures of my kids…here ya go
Refusing to look at me - that thumb must taste GOOD
Did you watch/follow the Boston Marathon today? Do you want to run it? or even just watch it ?? I would love to hang out in the crowd!!

I make this meatloaf recipe (with about half the cheese) http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Incredibly-Cheesy-Turkey-Meatloaf/Detail.aspx in a muffin tin topped with BBQ sauce a la Rachael Ray http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/meatloaf-muffins-with-barbecue-sauce-recipe/index.html. It’s so good! Pretty kid friendly, too, I think-I usually buy a bag of Alexis sweet potato fries and some steamed veggies.
Thank you!! I will have to check this out. Just need to REMEMBER to add it to my grocery list next week!
I always loved that chicken and spinach casserole you serve.. that’s yummy!! Also, frozen baby peas and frozen whole corn mixed with butter and salt ??? That was a hit for a long while.. then I over did it!! Love the meatloaf idea..especially if its in muffin pans.. personal size servings.. cool idea.. Enjoy!
I posted the chicken/spinach recipe last week
It’s on my recipe page!
I don’t think I’ll ever be excited about peas! Ha ha.
