Weekly Menu #554 And The Book Of The Week

Image
  Hello Monday! Welcome back to my weekly menu where I share all the delicious recipes we will be making this week. The kids are on a countdown to the end of the school year. We are down to 7 weeks. Not sure if I'm excited or not. On one hand, no more driving them to school in the morning and more sleeping in. On the other hand, they will be home all the time while I'm trying to work, and they are really loud. Its a toss up. Anyway, here is my read for the week. Not sure how fast I will get through this one. Its a beast. House of Flame and Shadow by Sarah J. Maas is 835 pages. Like I said, a beast. Making my way though it though. 35% in. Lets get to this weeks menu. Enjoy!

  My book review of The 100 by Kass Morgan. A gripping tale of survival in intrigue.

  Hello Monday! Welcome back to my weekly menu where I share all the delicious recipes we will be making this week. Its been a really beautiful week here in the PNW. We've been able to finish off the bottom part of the deck and are prepping for the railings so no one falls off the side onto the driveway, and I'm going to be buying pots for a few more flowers my neighbor gave me. I figure they are safer in pots than in the ground since another one of our neighbors likes to mow our law without asking and mows down everything he's not supposed to... Sigh... This weeks read is Day 21 by Kass Morgan. Getting back into reading the 100 series since I really liked the show. Anywho. Lets get to this weeks menu. Enjoy!
