Menu Plan Monday--The No-Plan Edition

That's right. My menu plan this week is to have no plan.

We are spending the entire week at my parents house and at the beach. Hurrah! I am looking forward to it more than I can say--a relaxing time together with family before what is said to be the most stressful, jam-packed semester in my husband's program.

Of course I'll help my mom out with the cooking/dishes, etc...but somehow that's much more fun than doing it at my own house. :D My mom and I have always agreed that somehow dishes are not nearly as hard to do when you have a change of scenery.

Lunch salad, Homemade Peach Pie, Chicken Pot Pie, and Chipotle Salsa

Our meals this week were mostly yummy favorites, with a few special tweaks, such as the peach pie I made using freezer peach pie filling and the have-your-hubby-cook night. I also attempted homemade chipotle salsa for my Chipotle Chicken with Peppers. And wowsa, somewhere I missed the memo that chipotle peppers are really hot. I added one large one to the salsa and then had to send my hubby out to buy more tomatoes and onions to help dilute the ultra-spicy result. The upside of that? Two more jars of salsa in my freezer for later. I will divulge my recipe at a later date...

Meanwhile, stay tuned for my perfected version of Blueberry Zucchini Bread, which will be posted later on today!

One last note. Have you noticed how much I have posted about food lately? Cooking is becoming more and more of a fun hobby/creative outlet for me, which is nice since it's such a huge part of my job as a SAHM. I have to tell myself to stop cooking so that I can get other things done. A huge change from a year ago! Now if only I could find someone who wants to wash all the dirty dishes....
