Never underestimate the power of a get-away weekend.  Seriously.  Just a couple of days away from my normal routine can totally reenergize, inspire and motivate me.

Ben, Courtney and I got the chance to fly to Boston this weekend to spend some time with my brother and my niece.  Family time in Boston, Massachusetts + Perfect Fall Weather = Happy girl.

Normally the day following a weekend get away is catch up day but today I have to go in for a root canal.  :(  I ordered my groceries online from Wal Mart.com last night so all I have to do it drive to the store today and wait for someone to load my groceries into my car for me.  (Gotta love the Wal Mart pick up service.)  I have an ambitious menu planned for the week - considering my compromised tooth situation - but better to overplan than under plan, I guess.  

Meals for the week:
Monday:  Shrimp Stir Fry

Tuesday:  Roast Chicken with Garlic Smashed Potatoes  This is a new recipe that you will definitely see on the blog in the near future.  

Wednesday:  Chicken Chimichangas  I am using the leftover brown rice from the Shrimp Stir Fry (Monday) and the leftover chicken from the Roast Chicken (Tuesday).  See what I did there?  

Thursday:  Meatloaf Burgers  A new recipe from my Cook's Country magazine.  I am SUPER excited about this recipe - it combines 2 of Courtney's favorite meals: meatloaf and burgers.  

Friday:  This is the homecoming football game for Courtney's high school.  Her soccer team is having a BBQ fundraiser to raise money for their team.  We will all be helping out with the fundraiser and of course eating BBQ in support of our favorite player.  

Saturday:  Today is the day of the homecoming dance.  (And all of the fun adventures that go along with it - hair and nail appointments, pictures etc.)  The girls will be heading out to dinner before they go the dance so that leave Ben and I on our own for dinner.  Sounds like date night to me!  

Sunday:  Waffle Bar  Complete with all the toppings: strawberries, chocolate chips, whipped cream - the works.
