\nLife has been rather hectic lately. I feel like I’m being pulled in 12 different directions, and unfortunately, none of them are the ones I’m interested in being pulled towards. I’m working towards planning a more toned-down week that focuses on things I am interested in: cooking, baking, keeping my house organized, participating in family activities, editing photos and working a bit less. We’ll see how well I do at achieving an appropriate work-life balance. If such a thing exists.
\n
To start the week off, I’ll be heading to a string of doctor’s appointments early tomorrow morning. Hopefully everything checks out, both routine and non, and then I’ll have to decide to give the kids the flu vaccines or not. To flu or not to flu? To swine or not to swine? I still have 9 hours to make a decision.<\/p>\n


Monday \u2013 <\/strong>Orecchiette pasta<\/a> with chicken, caramelized onions and blue cheese, spring mix salads, bloomin’ bread<\/a>
\n
Tuesday \u2013 <\/strong>Pit beef <\/a>on hard rolls with horseradish, grilled avocado pesto tomato salad<\/a>
\n
Wednesday \u2013 <\/strong>Smoked BBQ ribs<\/a>, perfect mashed potatoes<\/a>, baked acorn squash<\/a> and maybe some jalape\u00f1o cornbread<\/a> to make Ole happy
\n
Thursday \u2013 <\/strong>Bacon-wrapped salmon<\/a>, wilted spinach salad
\n
Friday \u2013 <\/strong>Caprese grilled pizzas<\/a> and maple vinaigrette salads\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Recipes to look for here at Food for My Family<\/a> this week: My take on candy corn<\/a>, brick chicken with scallion and lime butter <\/a>and apples! I have apples, and I’ll be baking with them…finally.<\/p>\n
