what i'm seeing this week
dawn

the firsts of fall:  



these lovely muscadine grapes were the sweetest i've ever had.  not only do they taste great, but their scent is heavenly too.  

What I'm Cooking This Week-Menu Musings for a Short Week
Tracy

Monday- -already long gone! I ended up making a double batch of meat sauce for spaghetti as our final dinner with my dad before he headed back home this morning. I froze 1/2 of the sauce for a future lasagna. We also had a tossed salad and garlic bread with Trader Joe's cherry pie for dessert.
Hey Dawn! Next time you're at Trader Joe's, check out their "Half Caff" coffee- - it's a whole-bean blend of decaf and French roast and it's a great compromise if you need a little lift in the evening but you don't want to rock your socks so late in the day. Perfect for after dinner. You know, when you're eating PIE! Or even when you're not.

i will probably jinx this, but i am one of those rarities that drink straight leaded rocket fuel up until 11:30pm and sleep like a baby.  don't hate....but i do always get my coffee from tj's.  it's the best.

Tuesday- -Tonight it's pinto beans with diced onions from the crockpot, salad and Garden of Eatin' organic tortilla chips with guacamole. I like to spike my pintos with a dash of Cholula hot sauce and sour cream.

Wednesday - meeting my MIL for dinner, probably at a soup n' salad place or Chinese.

Thursday - chicken pot pie, sugar snap peas

Friday - burritos made with taco-seasoned ground turkey and the leftover pintos. Wow--another reason I wish it was Friday! We love Mexican at Casa Koo-Koo.
