The most excellent Becky beat me to it this week! I'm such a slacker and she caught me! I can't believe it is the week before Thanksgiving. My thoughts are fast forwarded to next week and I just got caught slacking. I even thought tonight (while I was sitting in the hot tub in the rain with my 2 boys) that I REALLY need to get this post out. Then I come in and start reading some blogs, and damn it if Bec didn't beat me to it. I love it though! Cooking loves company. Here's What's Cookin' (Props to Hubby who planned the menu and did the shopping for the week):
Sunday - Mexican Macaroni
Monday - Spicy Honey Glazed Chicken with Rice and Green Beans
Tuesday - Baked Rigatoni w/Italian Sausage & Garlic Bread (mom out for the evening)
Wednesday - Taco Quiche
Thursday - Crock Nutty Chicken (because we never had it last week, we had to substitute for something quick and easy, I think it was a basketball practice night).
I find myself thinking about the butter nut squash raviolis I saw at Costco...does anyone know what kind of sauce to use with that? Maybe just a little olive oil and some pine nuts or something? I MUST HAVE SOME.
OK, you've really done it now. I will be over EVERY SINGLE NIGHT for dinner. My stomach is growling.

...and Margaret will wash all of that down with her beloved brew Hefenweisen.
Dang, woman, you are creative. Cuisine at Chez State of Grace is the same old salad/veg/starchiness/protein. No frills, no thrills.
Kris's Kitchen rulz!

man, this makes me hungry Kris! For the butternut squash ravioli, i know that at some of the restaurants I've been to they toss it with a cream sauce of sorts. I'll try to figure it out and let you know.

You are all too kind! When you find a cookbook that actually works for you, it is an amazing thing. We will be tweaking the new recipes here and there, but so far we've added some new and easy things to our regular menu.
The butter nut squash raviolis will probably make an appearance after Thanksgiving sometime.

Brown butter and sage works wonderfully with any kind of pumpkin/squash ravioli. Sigh. If only my husband would eat it.
If this is a weekly post, I am defintely coming back! (found you on the randomizer)
