Whew - what a whirlwind

What a WHIRLWIND these last 3 months of 2011 have been. SO much going on that I've scarcely had time to sit down and just enjoy life. So - I'm planning next week THIS week so that I can enjoy every moment of just having NOTHING to do!

Thomas and I realized the other day that our children have never fully gotten to immerse themselves in old-school meals like we had as children. Their momma enjoys cooking (for shame, huh?!) and as a result there's just not a ton of rotating meals like my mom used to make for us. So - this is the plan for next week in honor of the last week of 2011:

"Ringing out the old"

Dijon Chicken, green bean bundles, old school dressing, cranberry sauce, rolls
Coq au Vin, pasta, asparagus
Tuna Casserole, salad
Porcupines, mashed potatoes, corn
Beef stroganoff (trying to duplicate the Hamburger Helper version, if possible), egg noodles
Grilled Mustard pork chops, mac-n-cheese
Deer steaks, black-eyed-peas, baked potatoes

All of this is subject to change, though - depending on my state of relaxation. We wouldn't want to impede that, huh?!

Hope this next year finds a bit more time for 'down-time'!
