Life has been throwing some serious curve-balls and my family lately: some good and some bad and this month I am getting ready to tackle all of these changes head on. If you were unaware, we received an "unofficial" diagnosis of Aspergers for Goalie and I have been undergoing treatment for complications with my Spina Bifida. I still have Christmas lights adorning our patio and I am sure our neighbors are starting to wonder if they are ever coming down. At least I am within the Liturgical season if I have them down by Candlemas, which happens to be this week.
In happier news, we are heading into spring football and soccer season and we have been having some wonderful family adventures lately. I am trying out new things, such as utilizing a bullet journal as an accompaniment to my planner, starting a new workout regiment and probably what you are most interested in: revamping our menus! I am preparing for our upcoming Lenten season and just really enjoying where we are in life.
Here is our menu for Menu Plan Monday:
Monday:
Spaghetti
Tuesday: Feast of Saint John Bosco
Stuffed Peppers
Wednesday: Feast of Saint Brigid of Ireland
Corned Beef and Cabbage
Thursday: Candlemas
Golden Mushroom Chicken with Quinoa and Salad
Friday: Feast of Saint Blaise
Soup and Salad
Saturday:
Leftover Dinner Buffet or Pulled BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
Sunday: Super Bowl Sunday
Super Bowl Sunday Party!
Have you ever celebrated Candlemas? It is also called the Presentation of the Lord and is a beautiful celebration. It is considered a Christmas celebration so if you still have your decorations up from the holidays, it is completely acceptable. In honor of Candlemas, my family enjoys a special candlelight dinner. This year we will enjoy Golden Mushroom Chicken, check out the recipe below:
Golden Mushroom Chicken:
2-3 Large Chicken Breasts
1 Large Onion (diced)
2 Cups Mushrooms
1 Can Golden Mushroom Soup
1/4 Cup White Wine
1 Cup Chicken Broth
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
