Monday Menu Recap: Week of Feb. 20

Here is the recap of last week's dinners at our house.

Monday: Spaghetti with home-canned sauce, green salad
Tuesday:  Butternut squash and cauliflower soup
Wednesday: BLTs, green salad
Thursday: Chicken fettuccine
Friday: Ate out at Baja Fresh for date night
Saturday: Tempura shrimp, Napa cabbage wraps (This dinner was a big hit with everyone. I used some of the sauce packets that came with the shrimp to flavor the vegetables in the wraps.)
Sunday: Chicken breasts, mashed rutabaga and potatoes

On a food-related note, I went back to Weight Watchers last week.  Years ago, I lost weight with WW (and kept it off for a couple of years), so I think I can do it again.  I think I just need to think of WW as a lifelong social group, in order to maintain the loss beyond a couple of years. 

Thankful thought:  Thanks for goals and new beginnings.

She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall.  This week I noticed the following:

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
