The last week of the school year is here! I can't believe that I have just three class meetings left with the students God has blessed me with this semester. And, in just under 2 weeks, I'll be done with my first year as a professor.
That being said, last week was crazy and we did not do a good job sticking to the menu plan. Our picnic was rescheduled due to cold weather, and Monday night we ended up making our favorite vegetable lasagna.
Since this makes such a delicious lasagna, we didn't mind eating it for leftovers all week! We couple this dinner with Olive Garden Bread Sticks -- only this time I tried a "ready-in-40-minutes" version, and they were equally tasty to their predecessor {and much more practical due to their shortened cooking time!}. Recipe to come!

Tuesday night, we made a turkey in the crockpot.
We used the carcass to make yummy broth!
Wednesday night was our departmental picnic, followed by Bible study.
We enjoyed the classic Quaker Oats Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe
{made with dark chocolate chips in place of raisin}
Thursday, we enjoyed a yummy veggie stir fry with homemade teriyaki sauce.
We served this with leftover turkey.
Friday, we made Frog Prince's favorite pasta dish -
Saturday, I started a large crockpot full of wild rice soup.
Then, we cleaned out the fridge for dinner.
This coming week is also really special...
Frog Prince has a big birthday coming up!
