Happy Monday!

Well, it may not be happy returning to work but the sun is shining here which makes it a good day. It was a busy weekend for us with a lot of running around so this is my catch-up post to help me remember what we had for dinner each night. After working all day on Friday, we went the leftover route. Ron ate leftover hamburgers and I took a hamburger pattie, covered it in spaghetti sauce, topped it with cheese and had a mini meatloaf. Running around all day Saturday left us famished by the end of the day. We settled on pizza for dinner. Normally we buy fresh made pizza's from Sam's Club, which was too far away to travel just to buy a pizza. Costco is close by so we tried there. However, Costco closes at 6 pm on Saturday. Then we tried QFC because we recently saw them carrying fresh made pizza's. They had one supreme pizza left and the ingredients looked rotten. Luckily we saw a Papa Murphy's pizza place in the same shopping center. We figured what the hell let's try them. Our streak of bad luck in finding a pizza was solved forever more. Thank you Costco for closing at 6pm on Saturday's and thank you QFC for having horribly unfresh pizza's. Papa Murphy's is fantastic! We have our new pizza place! There is no way I could have bought all the ingredients they used (over 5 pounds) and made a pizza within a reasonable amount of time for the $13 they charged. Granted I still had to cook it, but it was definitely fresh and great tasting. One slice filled each of our tummies and we still had 3/4ths of a pizza left. After eating it for breakfast on Sunday, we still had 1/2 a pizza left. A great value indeed! Sunday, we tested a recipe, Horseradish Crusted Snapper, for budding cookbook author, Ruth at Once Upon a Feast. Unfortunately you'll just have to wait until the cookbook, Every Kitchen Tells Its Stories – Recipes to Warm the Heart, is published for the recipe. I have a few more to test for her which will be over next weekend. Horseradish Crusted Snapper with Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes But this week, I have five meals planned from my cookbook "20-minute Super Suppers." I hope they taste as great as they sound. Tune in each day to see how they turned out. Now go and have a Happy Monday! Only four more days 'til TGIF! Felicia
