I hope everyone had a great weekend! I spent my weekend cuddling with this sick little bug. Turns out what we thought was a UTI was actually the beginning of the tummy bug. With exception of a slight fever, she seems to be back to normal today. It's sunny and warm (in winters terms) today here in Indy. Gives me hope spring is coming! As I was planning my menu for this week, I was thinking happily of summer meals. There are certain meals that just stick out to me in relation to summer. I don't fix them often in the winter (not sure why) but I'm ready to be adding them to my meal planning board. Bring on Spring and Summer! This week's meal plan is relatively simple. Some of it is carry over from last week. A few things got bumped last week due to general lack of energy. We had sandwiches more than once last week. Ok, so here it is.. Monday- Baked Potatoes. This got bumped last week, but still sounds really good so we're doing it tonight. I'm going to steam some broccoli and we'll have that with cheese and cream cheese and maybe bacon bits too. Tuesday- Pizza. I'm fixing a homemade BBQ Chicken pizza. Wednesday- Chili. I have some chili my mother in law made on Christmas in the freezer. It sounded good, so now it's thawing in the fridge and we'll have that with a few toppings. Thursday- BLT's. Well, BL's. We're a non tomato eating house. I usually use turkey bacon for this. Yum! This is one of those summer meals that I love. Friday- Chicken N Noodles. I figured I'd mix the summer goodness and the winter comfort food this week. This is so easy and it's made in the crock pot. Can't go wrong! Saturday- Aaron and I are having a date night but the girls will be eating spaghetti. They love spaghetti. They had it with a babysitter 2 weeks ago and I got a text that said "So there was a minor spaghetti explosion in your kitchen". Aaron and I laughed because that's an excellent description of how my girls eat spaghetti. Sunday- We'll probably grab something to eat after church real quick. Sunday's are by far our busiest days, so I don't normally cook a whole lot. All in all a pretty simple menu this week! On Sunday nights I attend a small Ladies Bible Study with some of the women from my church. Right now we're going through the study book No Other Gods bye Kelly Minter. I started going through this study with a friend in November and it was life changing for both of us. My friend leads our Ladies Bible Study, so she decided that it would be great for our whole group to do. We're 4 chapters in and God is moving big time! This has been a great study for all of us. Last week in chapter 4, we talked about what the problem was with having false gods in our life. We studied the passage of scripture in Colossians and it was a great reminder to me about living a life that's holy and pleasing to God. So, with that being said, I decided that Colossians 3:17 would be the verse of the week this week. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.- Colossians 3:17 Something I struggle with daily is remember and doing in the name of Jesus and not myself or others. We need to live our life for an audience of one- God. Purpose this week to act and make decisions daily for the purpose of pleasing God and God alone. I have a feeling we'd all be much more fulfilled and content! Have a lovely Monday!
