It's my birthday week!!!! Emily T. if you are reading this, I think I need a birthday month like you next year because some ridiculousness this weekend made the beginning of my birthday week pretty awful :-/ So perhaps I need a whole month too :-) Anyways, my husband is the most amazing man ever and helps me remember what is really important in life. Thanks GLM :-) So besides our dinner date on Weds night, I am super excited for a few other things: I have a free coupon from Caribou Coffee (even though I like Starbucks better) for a free drink that is good only on my birthday, plus my free birthday drink coupon from Starbucks came today (but I have 2 weeks to use that one), so that means I will be getting delicious Pumpkin Spice Lattes TWO mornings this week! I just wish I was able to drink the caffeinated versions of my favorite
drinks. This getting up at 5am business is still an adjustment after a
summer of sleeping in til at least 6:30! We are also headed to Akron this weekend to celebrate with my parents and my youngest sister, and that trip will either start out Friday with a free dinner at Noodles and Co.
Anyways, I'm cooking a few nights... and then we have a few meals out :-) Woo hoo!!! Here's the menu plan for this week:
Sunday: leftover grilled pizza... and I made Pumpkin Cookies (using pumpkin pie spice instead of the spices listed, as one reviewer suggested) with Cream Cheese Frosting (instead of the glaze on the cookie recipe, I also cut the frosting recipe in half) for our small group
Monday: Pumpkin Pancakes, sausage & fruit
Tuesday: Vegetable White Bean & Orzo Soup, salad
Wednesday: My birthday dinner date at Lindey's in German Village!
Thursday: Pork Chops (the recipe says tenderloin but I'm using chops) with Figs & Onions, baked potatoes & green beans
Friday: using my free noodles coupon from Noodles & Co
Since we are going out much more than normal, you might want to check out www.orgjunkie.com for a few more menu planning ideas.
