February always flies by so quickly and then we have the long month of March! I have been embracing winter, well trying to, and making hearty soups and chili's to keep us warm and satisfied so we can head back out and play in the snow.
Last week we had many hits as far as meals go. Everyone loved the chicken parm, the lasagna, tomato soup, and especially our new picnic or "Odds & Ends" night. With more cold weather predicted in our forecast, I have some more soups to make for dinners this week. I found a great printable grocery list that made planning very easy. The younger kids loved checking items off and felt like they had an important job! Check out www.FreePrintableGroceryList.com and look at the Master Grocery List.
I stocked up on lots of vegetables and plan on roasting them today, Sunday, so I can add them to salads for lunches and dinners, and also add as a side dish to our meal. This time of year I love roasting beets, butternut squash, brussel sprouts, rutabaga, and parsnips. I season them with some infused flavored olive oil, lemon pepper and some kosher salt. Delicious!
Moxham picks for the week:
Monday: Shrimp and Broccoli Stir Fry over Brown Basmati Rice
Tuesday: Miso & Potsticker Soup with Crispy Snap Peas
Wednesday: Brown Rice Pasta with Pesto Chicken and Veggies

What would you choose??? Please share!

Enjoy the week ahead and have a special Happy Valentine's Day. I plan on ordering my family's favorite dessert, cannoili's! Also I will make some dark chocolate dipped treats. My oldest gets his braces removed the day before Valentine's so I'll have to think of some sticky treat to make for him to celebrate! Suggestions?
Best,
Donna
