This week's menu is very short...because we are going on VACATION! East coast-bound on Wednesday, then off to BERLIN on Friday. Yup, you heard me right. Berlin for 1 week then Paris for 1 week! I can't wait! Anyway, I'm only cooking one night this week. That may be even better than traveling. Just kidding.
I am going to keep posting while I travel, so please keep visiting the blog. I'm excited to share my culinary adventures with you!
MONDAY:
- Pasta Salad a la Kristy Tayler (click here and see Valerie's comment)

I'm counting on all of you the next few weeks to share your menus...you need to inspire one another! Show us what you got! (I'll still do the weekly menu post even if my menu involves a lot of eating out...which it will!)
Will you be taking your daughter with you to Europe? If so, I'd love to hear how it goes. I've traveled a lot with my daughter, and I've been to Europe a couple of times. But the thought of combining the two is very daunting.
ReplyDeleteWell...Anna (6-month-old) IS going with us since she still relies on my for sustenance. :) But Cate will be staying with our parents here in the states. Yea! It will be more fun for her and for us that way. I'll definitely let you know how traveling with a baby over there goes!
ReplyDeleteNot sure about the days, but I'll be making:
