We made it home today from a wonderful adult-only getaway to Mexico. It was great, but we are so happy to be back at home with our little guy and I am looking forward to getting back to some normalcy after a very busy March - with our kitchen remodel and our trip, we were barely home!
Usually I plan my meals based on what is on special at the grocery store but menu planning is more critical for my family than coupon cutting... so this week, due to my vacation, I am planning without looking at the ads and cutting coupons, back to that next week!
I was inspired by a recipe I found in Parents Magazine April 2011 issue (Mark Bittman, one of my favorite food writers, now writes a column every month - love that!) The Parents Magazine website has tons of quick and easy recipes, I'd highly recommend taking a look for some inspiration! I also love the site good life(eats) and enjoyed checking out some new recipes there tonight, as well!
I hope to be more active on my blog with some new healthy, allergy friendly recipes in April. With grilling season upon us, I am starting to yearn for easy grill dinners and adding farmers market fare to my plan... it will hopefully be here sooner than later!
