You probably realized that I skipped last week. Why? Well my family all had the stomach bug. Started with Big A, then Little B got it on Mother’s Day and then the hubby came home a few days later not feeling well.
I am still crossing my fingers that I don’t get it. I think sometimes Moms have super powers and build up such a strong immune system {I probably just spoke to soon}.
This week is a busy one so our menu is a bit light. We are headed Wednesday night to NYC because Little B will be in a Huggies Fashion Show on Thursday.
We will be having breakfast and lunch with a guest celebrity so make sure to follow me on Twitter to find out who it is! I will write a recap about our experience when we get back.
So onto our menu for the week. Our breakfast and lunch menu is pretty much the same:
Breakfast: Cereal, eggs, homemade pancakes & waffles and oatmeal.
Lunch: Veggies and dip, peanut butter sandwiches, pasta and dinner left overs.
Our Dinner Menu:
Monday: Going to a friend’s house which means I don’t have to cook!
Tuesday: Rigatoni Primavera with Chicken and fresh bread {see recipe below}
Wednesday: Going to NYC for the night with the family!
Thursday: Ham-Taleggio Grilled Cheese and Soup
Friday: Balsamic chicken, roasted veggies and rice
Saturday: Wedding

Ok, I think I am a little bit too excited about this Huggies fashion show and about the guest celeb!! Can you give us a little clue? How FUN. Make sure to take pictures and have a great trip!!
And keeping my fingers crossed that you don’t get sick. My hubs and little guy had the stomach bug last week and then I got hit with food poisoning this weekend and it’s still not finished. Good times.
