Before we get down to business, I need to wish my grandma a very happy birthday! My grandma turns 91 today, and she's an amazing lady... still living on her own, working and volunteering nearly every day of the week, gardening and cooking up a storm! And -- get this -- she does not take ANY medications. None. Zilch. Zero. Nada. Wow.
She raised 9 {yes, nine} kids together with my grandfather and is a true farmer. She's an amazing lady, and I'm blessed to be her granddaughter! It was fun to see her on my visit a few weeks ago... but I don't have any excellent photos of her, because she glared at me when I tried to take her photo.
Happy Birthday, Grandma!
Now, for the food -- last week, we enjoyed:
(made with whole wheat crust)
(with leftover chicken)
('cuz we all need a little chocolate, right?!)
Saturday, our menu plan flew right out the window. I hosted a wedding shower for my dear friend Kim, and the boys had a day-o-fun (they went flying -- one of our friends has his pilot's license) while we ladies had our shower! All that fun meant we didn't get home in time to make Lucy's Chili before church, so that's on our menu for tonight.
I scored a great deal on organic spinach this week, so many of our recipes include spinach! What are your favorite recipes in which to use spinach? I am also including our Easter menu -- with our favorite whole wheat zucchini carrot cake!!
