It would seem as if I had vanished over the last few days huh? Josh had 3 days of vacation off and we decided to do Spring Break this week instead of waiting till the end of the month.
We mainly just tried to rest and relax since we haven’t really had a chance too since we moved. We cooked a lot…correction, Josh, cooked a lot. He gave me a break which was a nice change. Josh is the creative chef behind our meals. When he’s in the kitchen, he kind of flies by the seat of his pants and doesn’t necessarily follow a recipe, like I do. I think Josh really enjoyed his time off though these last few days. The Kitchen has become a therapeutic haven for him. As soon as music from Pandora starts playing from the living room and he starts chopping something up on the cutting board, you can see all the tension that was on his face, disappears and he’s singing and in his own world. It’s really fun to watch.
Grace got the opportunity this week to kind of act as Josh’s Sous Chef while he made his Vodka Penne Monday night. She is so interested in what’s going on in the kitchen and she loves to help any way she can.
We had hoped maybe to get a blog done while Josh was home, but it never worked out. We’ll try and fit one in. Josh made delicious homemade Crepes on two different occasions this week, Sunday night for us and on Tuesday night for his siblings, Vodka Penne on Monday, French Toast, Wednesday morning and then Wednesday night, we got pizza.
Apparently awhile back, I entered a Papa Murphy’s giveaway ( I don’t remember, because I enter so many things) and when we got the mail the other day, there was a $10 gift card for Papa Murphy’s Take and Bake pizza. Grace, ( who is now over her cold) is on Spring Break and we let her have a sleepover at her grandparents house and so we got Eden one of her favorite dinner’s…Pizza! Which was great because it was free :)
So that’s what’s been going on. I may be straying from the menu for the next few days because Grace is gone and then Friday, we’re having dinner with my in-laws. But I will try and post tomorrow for you all.
I hope you’ve enjoyed your week so far. It’s been Mardi Gras week, so please let me know if you’ve ate any festive foods or cooked a new recipe because of this holiday. Is Mardi Gras a holiday?
