Hello, friends! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Are you lucky enough to have a long weekend in honor of our veterans? We spent the weekend in Central Oregon attending a beautiful wedding and catching up with some of our dearest friends. I tell you, the more time I spend on this side of the Cascade mountains, the more I feel like I belong over here...
We have an exciting weekend (of sorts) ahead! First up, we're on our first week-long school break of the year. We homeschool six weeks on and take one week off (so this is our week off), and I'll be using a bit of this time to work on recipes since I won't have school. Eden also gets her braces off, which is super exciting for her - finally she will be able to eat popcorn again! 😋🍿
While we were away, I worked on the grocery list/menu for the week, which is always kind of an interesting thing for me to do when I'm away from home. I threw in a chili recipe I had worked on last fall, but I accidentally left the recipe at home and I can't remember what's in it! Oops! So I'll be checking my pantry and freezer to make sure I have those items when I get back home. Also, if you're looking for a great recipe to make during the work week, I suggest you try this One Pan Roasted Rosemary Mustard Chicken! I love how you use different cuts of chicken in it and you can literally serve it alongside any side dish you want!
Here's what's on this week's menu:

Speaking of chili, my family and I love chili. I also love soup (more than Josh does). But I was thinking about making one night a week during fall and winter a chili or soup night. Oftentimes you can throw in a lot of extra produce or odds and ends in the fridge and it's a great "use up". But, if that isn't the case for you, here is my Chili, Soup, and Stew Pinterest board for you to get some ideas off of in case you like that idea, too!
