Dinner with new friends

Tonight, we are hosting new kindergarten friends for dinner. It'll be one of those dinners where the kids run wild while the adults enjoy tasty beverages.

On the menu....

• Northwest Cedar Planked Salmon with a spicy wine sauce- from the Junior League of Seattle Celebrate the Rain Cookbook (a must-have cookbook if you live in the Pacific NW)
• Ina Garten's Arugula with Parmesan Salad

• Lemon Ice Cream (made with my new kitchenaid ice cream attachment) with Ginger Snap cookies

And the kids will be eating Whole Foods pizza. My boys are disappointed they don't get salmon but at $24/pound it's for adults only tonight. Off to clean....

Weekly meal plan

In an attempt to be more organized and not fly by the seat of my pants, I've decided to start meal planning again. I'm also ordering my groceries from Amazon Fresh who so kindly delivers within hours of me placing my order. It's not necessarily cheaper but it cuts my impulse buys down drastically so I come out ahead in the end.

Here's what we have planned for this week....

Monday - Tomato Artichoke Pasta

Tuesday - Old Bay Shrimp with Orange Avocado Salsa

Wednesday - Mexican Chicken Casserole

Thursday - BBQ Chicken Burgers

Friday - Fly by the seat of my pants day!
