We spent the better part of our weekend nailing, cutting and gluing boards to our ceiling.  Although we only have a quarter complete we have worked the kinks out and it should be smooth sailing from here on in. 

Amazingly I managed to pull off a big meal for the extended family amidst the chaos of construction.  We did have a little mishap of hubby turning on the dusty mitre saw as I was mixing cornbread for the casserole which may have resulted in a little extra crunch.  Oh well! nobody complained and their all still standing.

Now on to the rest of the week.

Sunday – Wings and corned bread veggie bake

Monday – veggie soup and grilled cheese.  A few weeks ago I made two large batches of soup, chicken fricot and vegetable.  Although my hubby is not a soup kind of guy when accompanied by warm rolls or crusty bread it is a nice light alternative on a cold night.

Tuesday – Sticky chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans

Wednesday – Chicken parmesan, carrot sticks and dip

Thursday – leftovers

Friday – meatballs, tex mex rice and broccoli

Saturday – cabbage sloppy joes
