We found some great finds on a trip to Target.
I spent a good portion of the weekend standing next to Mark in the kitchen making food for the week. While this may not sound that exciting, it is a time when we connect. We both love to find new recipes and create new meals and dishes. This isn't usually time for deep or life changing conversations; it is a time that we bond and we can get on the same page as each other again. I value this time, especially as busy as we have been lately.
This weekend turned out a couple of great dishes:
Chicken Fried Rice
(Quick, Easy, and gives me a gluten-free option
for Chinese when I am really craving it!)
Louisiana Red Beans and Rice
(One of Mark's favorites)
Sunday afternoon is here. Rather than the feelings of dread about the upcoming week, I feel relaxed and rested. We have had a productive weekend that has been both quiet, and full of laughter. Of course it helps that we also have a short three day week ahead of us followed by a four day weekend!
Have a great week!
It definitely looks as if you filled your weekend with the good stuff, family, food & fun! Hope the week has started off great :)
