I’m not talking about anything that involves power tools or my glue gun. As I reported, to make our nights a little less hectic, I have decided to take on the cooking during the week. Unlike Chris, the master chef, I need to follow a recipe. Good thing I have a stockpile of good eats pinned on Pinterest. And since I know I’m not the only that has to follow recipes or needs help making a menu, here’s the rundown of what’s for dinner at our house this week with the linked recipes:
Saturday: Sweet & Sour Chicken and Garlic Parmesan Edamame
Sunday: Cam and Kasey’s for dinner and pumpkin carving. Woot.
Monday: Baked Potato soup
Tuesday: Grilled Honey Glazed Chicken and Sweet Potato skewers with Cilantro-Jalapeno Aioli Dip
Wednesday: Autumn Chicken Salad
Thursday: Chicken, Cashew and Red Pepper Stir-Fry
Friday: Date night!

STUGA
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.
