This last weekend just came and went... I did some shopping, a little bit of cooking, had some fun with my boys outside but mostly I vegetated on the couch with my laptop going through hundreds of DIY inspirational ideas and delicious recipes on Pinterest. I also took a nap both on Saturday and Sunday. And that felt GOOD! Honestly, I don't remember the last time I took naps two days in a row. I have a suspicion it was some time before the kids...
It was nice to have some time for myself (and yeah, I doubt it's going to happen again any time soon...) and I needed it. My husband was a peach taking care of meals, housework and baths. I love him so much (hey, honey:).
And with all this newborn energy I'm ready for what this week will bring. Which should be a lot. First, it's Mother's Day this week and I'm yet to get my sweet MIL anything special... I have a truckload of work that needs to be done, do or die. And I need to finally (FINALLY!!) plant our garden. I gave up on peas already but some other things need to go into the ground.
I also went through our fridge and was pleasantly surprised to find no waste this week (sorry, Debby :). I do have sort of a dilemma here:
What would you do with an almost full bag of bagels? I got them on Saturday but they are just gross. I was thinking of making breadcrumbs but I'm just not sure I need that much crumbs. What is your go-to idea for stale bagels?
And this week our gang is eating:
Mon.- potatoes, sausage, stewed cabbage (because I forgot that it's Cinco De Mayo)
Tues.- tacos (because I remembered :), Churro Cheesecake
Wed.- Shaurmas, salad
Thurs. - Creamy chicken and rice soup
Fr. - Beef strognoff over rice, steamed veggies
Sat.- eat out for Mother's Day
Sun. - not sure yet. Doing something with the family
What's on your menu this week?
Congratulations on no waste.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI just had a bag of stale bagels in the fridge last week too and I always use them to make Bagel Pizzas. Just open them up, spread some sauce on them and then top with a slice of American Cheese and Bake. Mmm!! I do the same thing with stale English Muffins.
ReplyDeleteYour menu sounds yummy! :)
Hmm, I need to try it! I've never used bagels for pizzas before. That's a great idea!
Deletebagel pizzas was my idea as well! :-) Or, sometimes I slice them into 1/2 or 1/3 (depending on thickness) & turn them into grilled cheese sandwiches for the kids.
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to try these pizzas...
DeleteI actually enjoyed just microwaving them for 10-15 sec and pulling them apart to eat with cream cheese! Even when stale, they're pretty good that way. Oh, and I third the bagel pizza part.
ReplyDeleteI tried to microwave them, and they still tasted gross...
DeleteI vote bagel pizza too with mozzarella :)
ReplyDeleteYum!
DeleteHi Lena, Hope all is well with you and your family! As far as the stale bagels, why not make an overnight french toast bake:) I've used bagels before and it turned out great!! Have a Great Week and Happy Mother's Day~ Lynn @ Turnips 2 Tangerines
ReplyDeleteMmm, that's a great idea, Lynn! Thank you!
DeleteUh white chocolate bread pudding with raspberry coulis?
ReplyDeleteOh, that sounds to die for! Yum!!
