It has been a while since I participated Monday Mingle and I have missed it so! Since it is all about food I thought I would post it here!
Over the holidays I received a generous basket of coffee from Smart and Final to celebrate the launch of their new Ambiance coffees!
With the chaos of the Christmas season is was great to have a treat just for me! I got 6 different types: French Roast, Hazelnut, French Vanilla, Kona Style, Gourmet Supreme, House Blend. My personal favorites were the Hazelnut and the French Vanilla! They were very good and are the perfect base for a coffee treat in the morning.
I think my favorite was to have the hazelnut coffee was with creamer and a squirt of peppermint whipped cream. It was so warming and delightful! And don’t judge me;). While it is a very fancy drink, it is still better for you than what you get at Starbucks. Plus it is only a fraction of the price!
While that is all good, how about I get to the giveaway?

So remember how last week was supposed to be crazy? Well, it was even weirder than I thought it would be. I ended up getting severely dehydrated and basically was banished to the couch for the week. Then I got better with just enough time to go to my retreat. So this week is a huge catch up week for me!
Monday: Turkey Spaghetti with Spinach
Tuesday: Quesadillas, Carrot
Wednesday: Corned Beef, Buttery Rolls, Broccoli
Thursday: Crispy Chicken Thighs, Rice, Broccoli
Friday: Leftovers
This week is a crazy week! Part of the crazy is that I have been sick for a few days and while I am planning on going to the doctor tomorrow, who knows how long until I am tip top. So between that, Bible study, Awana and women’s retreat this weekend, I have no idea really what this week is going to look like!
But I am going to try and plan.
Monday: Dinner being brought by a friend (Love you Sara!)
Tuesday: Pork Chops, Mashed Potatoes, Broccoli
Wednesday: Shredded Chicken, Rice, Broccoli
Thursday: New York Steaks with Chili Beans and Broccoli
Friday: Hamburger Helper with Broccoli

Monday: Ham, Latkes, Broccoli
Tuesday: Crispy Chicken Thighs, Broccoli, Mashed Potatoes, Buttery Rolls

For the last few years I have made a gingerbread house. But last year I was recovering from surgery and never felt up to doing a gingerbread house so NerdDad suggested that we just have each kid decorate a panel that was then their’s to eat. It was a huge hit so we decided to do it in addition to the gingerbread house I will decorate.
They once again loved it and aren’t they adorable?
