Here's an attempt at a menu...I'm trying to do things that are easy and generate lots of leftovers. Last week was so awesome. Thanksgiving leftovers galore = little cooking. I wish every week was the week after Thanksgiving! Well, maybe not, but it sure was a nice week. Anyway, my menu may not be so robust, but you ARE getting two new recipes this week...Tostada Goop & Easy Crock Pot Chicken. See, I'm not ALL bad in these last weeks of being prego...
MONDAY:
- Baked French Toast (this recipe rules)
TUESDAY:
- Debbie's Easy Crock Pot Chicken
WEDNESDAY:
- Leftovers
THURSDAY:
- Book Club...have to figure something out for Nate & Cate
FRIDAY:
- Going to December Nights at Balboa Park, where we'll sample all kinds of great food! If you live in San Diego and have never been to this event, GO!
SATURDAY:
- Christmas party...no cooking!
SUNDAY:
- Chicken Tostadas (see recipe for Tostada Goop)
Please share your menus! Anything goes...hot dogs, shrimp scampi, WHATEVER!

I have not thought about an actual menu in SO LONG!
As for the bagels all the time...you could always do pizza bagels with a side salad for dinner or pizza bagels with soup. I LOVE bagels...we get them by the dozen and freeze them individually. They work great as teethers for little ones new to solids and teeth!

Chili- if I ever get around to it!
Monday
Probably pasta in a simple red sauce, possibly a spicy chili like red sauce.

Not sure...we're picking up our new car so dinner may be out or at grandma's

I have to say I love your blog filled with so many creative ideas. I found it searching the net. I'm pregnant (like you) and due Dec. 26th- my body just want to lounge around these days and my hubby and I are both in finals week so we'll probably be scrounging around for whatever food we have around the house. And somehow... that's ok with me. :o) Thanks for posting.
thanks for all your menus and nice comments! :)
Yummy... I will be trying that French toast for sure!!!
I didn't plan much for this week. (I'm hoping to go into labor early so I can take a break!)

We were stalking you guys at the sing-along last night. Looked like Cate was having a great time.
