KitchenJoy: What's Cooking?

Hi there! So sorry to have been away so long...I'm afraid I've been busy enjoying my family visiting as well as other stuff and haven't had a chance to get on write! My brother and his family came to stay with us for a few days a couple of weeks ago and tomorrow my parents and my two younger brothers are coming to stay for almost a week! What a fun time!!

Meanwhile, Hubby and I are on a kick to eat healthier and each lose a few pounds. We're really enjoying using the MyFitnessPal app where we can connect with some of our friends and stay accountable. We're also enjoying being more active- the weather has been great for riding bikes along the river! It's a challenge to count calories and eat less, but I'm so glad my Hubby's doing it with me- it helps me stay on track!

You know how I said before that I was experimenting with shopping closer to home more often, rather than once a month? Well, I don't think it's going to work out. Our local grocery store is just too expensive, and as often as we make trips to Spokane, it's really not much of an inconvenience to shop there. We went back to our usual grocery store in Spokane (WinCo Foods) and I was so relieved...it felt like home! However, my meal lists and grocery trips and menus were totally off this month because of all our company- just taking it one week at a time for now!

So now that we're caught up, here's the menu for this week!

Monday

Shepherd's Pie with Rolls & Mixed Veggies
