Well I've been having so much fun and been so busy with the Spring Cleaning Party I nearly forgot to plan a menu for this week... so that's what I'm going to do, right now... as I type this I'll plan my menu!

Monday: Etoufee - One of our favorites! I'll share the recipe soon!

Tuesday: Shepard's Pie w/ ground turkey
Wednesday: <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/07/farfalle-with-zucchini-a-yummy-summer-meal/">Farfalle with Zucchini</a>

Thursday: <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Balsamic-Glazed-Salmon-Fillets/Detail.aspx">Balsamic Glazed Salmon Fillets</a> (The new recipe for the week! Sounds so good!)

Friday: Leftover Night!

I'm also going to attempt to make some <a href="http://pleasantviewschoolhouse.blogspot.com/2009/01/day-for-french-bread.html">homemade french bread</a> from a recipe that I found at <a href="http://www.pleasantviewschoolhouse.blogspot.com">Pleasant View School House</a> this week. The Farfalle with Zucchini will be delivered to my sweet friend who just had her first baby! If the bread comes out I'll have to drop off a loaf as well.  We're so happy for them... actually it seems about 80% of my friends are pregnant or just had a baby!  Sorry... off topic... back to food!

Here is the recipe for the Ettoufee...

I got the recipe from a teacher who worked at the school where I worked. She is an amaszing woman. A pastors wife with 3 beautiful girls. She was always an example to me a wonderful wife and mother. Everytime we eat this I'm reminded of her and her example. So this recipe, although easy and not super fancy is very special to me...
