Menu Plan Monday- Week of June 21, 2010

I just wanted to highlight some great recipes from last week:

The Strawberry Salad was just about the best thing I've tasted in a LONG time! I used Cashews because that is what I had. I also added a rotisserie chicken that we got from Whole Foods...delicious mixed into the salad...my girls loved it!

If you eat Pork, the Asian Pork Tenderloin was delicious...it made the pork so tender and juicy. I ended up taking the leftover marinate..(I didn't pour any into the dish) and reduced it down to make a gravy..I just added a little chicken stock and it thickened right up! I didn't have any of the Asian Chili Paste, so I just used Red Pepper Flakes... my husband added more, but it was perfect for the little ones!

Are You Up for the Challenge?

I just recently found out about the Mom's Toolbox blog.
She is encouraging moms to join her in a
90 day endeavor to read the Bible.
I have always wanted to read the bible straight through,
but am really daunted by the fact of doing it in....
90 days.

Her blog promises to be encouraging
and she will actually have
90 day Bible Reader Graduates contact you
to help you along....

I am nervous about the undertaking,
but in this situation,
I think it can only be positive.
If anyone would care to join,
or is interested in taking part in reading the

Bible in 90 Days,

you can sign up here.

It starts on July 5th,
so its best to get subscribed and signed up now.
I am going to try to do it with my own bible.
She suggests a 90 day bible,
but I want to see if I can do it without
purchasing that particular bible.
