from the kitchen...





much has been going on. the center, the heart of our home. with the cold finally making it to Texas, comfort food was definitely in order. warming to our bodies and oh so warming to our souls.
last week's menu did not go quite as planned. i was under the weather and things changed.  we still ate well! pizzas by our own hands...our favorite. so much more than food happens in that room. rounds and rounds of Rush Hour & Apples to Apples. painting (portraits of mom & dad) and sketching. planning life and reliving the week's triumphs and spelling words.
this week the plan is:

monday
pinto beans
rice cornbread cole slaw

tuesday
Dorie's beef daube
country loaf 

wednesday
rice dressing
sweet potatoes garlic sauteed spinach

  2. That list sounds fantastic. You inspired me last week to write up our menu. It's not as complete as yours, but we will be enjoying Vermont Turkey Loaf this evening. :)

  3. i like this idea of writing out your menu..and including everything: lunches, treats, bread. fantastic! everything i make sounds so boring in comparison though...i guess i could spice the names up!
