Could it be that I am actually posting menus again??  Crazy!  While home, I ran across some of my Cooking Light recipes I tore out 5 years ago.  They are starring on this week’s menu because I am ready for some different meals!  Bless Cooking Light for posting them all online.

This Week’s Menu

• 

  Thai Beef Rolls

  Monday: Thai Beef Rolls, Thai sweet chili crisps, fresh veggies

We are two weeks away from our move- just down the street, but a smaller fridge and freezer…maybe shoe-box-sized for my freezer.  Sigh.  Thus, we are doing our best to eat through everything in the freezer {whether made and frozen or just meat we need to get through} and pantry so we have less to move.

It’s Rebekah’s birthday week- you know how we love birthday weeks around here.  Our sweet girl turns 5 on Tuesday…yikes that’s tomorrow.  Sigh.  After 3 trips out of the country in 10 days on 8 flights, with a move on my mind, as well as birthday party and birthday week for our girl, I am less than creative on this post.  Many apologies.  ;)  I am starting my series on Rome on Wednesday- stay tuned!

Planning…

I am feeling slightly super-woman right now…I plan 2 weeks at a time, which is usually fine.  However, I am factoring in my trip to London for Cybermummy courtesy of Cupcake this weekend, my in-laws coming next week {yea!!}, all of us going to Ireland, then Josh and my trip to Rome…plus, we’re moving flats in 5 weeks, so I’m trying to clean out the pantry and freezer…whew!  And, I am making a few extra meals {probably just doubling some of ours}  for friends.  Like I said, a little Super-womanish…everyone needs that feeling sometimes, right?

We have some carry-overs from last week, too.  I will say the paella turned out really well!  Leave a comment if you want the recipe- if there’s interest, I’ll type it up.  ;)
