Menu Monday rolls back around!
Whew! I made it through a weekend trip to Eureka Springs without doing too much damage. We had a wonderful weekend. Our stay at 5 Ojo Inn was fabulous! Jan & Richard are wonderful hosts and we are already planning our next trip. They served up a great (not totally FFN friendly) breakfast, but we were able to not do too much damage to our wasitlines and even indulged a little!
Anyway, while we were in Eureka, we happened upon a few cool places--Fresh Harvest and The Spice Boat. The Spice Boat had the most amazing spices, fresh from the docks and packaged without any additives. We even bought some tea too. Fresh Harvest was an Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar shop. If you're in Eureka, you really should stop by! They are worth the trip!
Even though we had a great weekend, I'm so glad to be back home where I can control what I am eating and how it's prepared. This is our last week of softball and will end with a tournament over the weekend. You got it...another "I can't plan for this completely" weekend. And we have football on Friday night. My crockpot will be getting a workout this week!
My menu this week will obviously include Shakes & Fruit for breakfast as usual. For lunch, I have planned to have dinner leftovers or tuna using the Lime Infused EVOO we bought at Fresh Harvest. It is positively life changing stuff! (LOL) I'm planning some fish & chicken for our dinners...check out a few of the recipes I'm trying this week:
Seared Salmon with Cinnamon & Chili Powder
Baked Slow Cooker Chicken
Quinoa Pilaf (this is actually my favorite Quinoa recipe. It's the first one I made that everyone LOVED)

It's Menu Monday again!
Holy cow! This week is making me nervous! I don't have a set plan for the weekend because we will be traveling for our 4th annual "Honey Bee" (anniversary). I know, from past experiences, that when I'm not fully planned/prepared, I will not be a huge success. I have a general plan, but we all know that FOOD is such a huge part of traveling. Especially for the Edwards Family. Wish me luck! Here's my plan for the week...I'm hoping I don't have to eat 3 grilled chicken salads this weekend...
I know it's somewhat generic...but it's the best I could do for the weekend.
Recipes this week:
Monday-Sauteed Kale
Wednesday-Tuna Salad with No Mayo
Wednesday-Grilled Fish with Cucumber Cucumber Mint
Have a successful week!

Menu-October 6-12, 2014
It's #MenuMonday! How am I staying on track this week? Here ya go!
Notice the "grayed" in boxes....those are NEW recipes to try! I can't wait!
I've also changed up the system a bit. I've added a "workout" section & removed the "grocery list". I tend to buy groceries without my menu, so why waste space there?
We have a busy week this week. Monday after school, I've promised Cheyenne we would go see The Maze Runner. We won't be out too late, so we can still have dinner at home. But Tuesday is where it gets all crazy! Dusty & Cheyenne will be off to softball practice, while I head to Arkadelphia for the City Council meeting. Wednesday, we will play catch up from a busy week beginning while Cheyenne is at AKC. Thursday hits us with softball practice & a college night in Hot Springs for Wednesday. Friday night we have football (Lyndsey) and softball (Cheyenne) while Saturday brings us a college visit for Lyndsey & a softball tourney for Cheyenne. Just when I think things have gotten slower for our family, we get hit hard with a hectic schedule.
How do you stay on track when your family has you running?
