Over The Grave

I don't think that I have ever mentioned that I worship with a bunch of amazingly awesome talented artists. I am talking about wonderful singers, musicians, song writers, photographers, painters, etc. So, here is my favorite c.d. right now and has been since it came out. I am blogging about it this week because I realized that I never did before. Also, it came out on itunes last week so look it up and buy it. You will not be disappointed.

Meal Plan

I changed my mind and decided I felt well enough to do a meal plan so here goes:

Wednesday- tonight we had some sort of greens from our farmer, sweet potatoes, and black bean burgers (recipe from my friend Kristyn)

Black Bean Burgers
Ingredients:

• 1/2 onion, diced
• 1 can black beans, well drained
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 slices bread, crumbled
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp season
• seasoned salt
• salt and pepper to taste
• oil for frying

mash it all together and fry in skillet with oil.

Thursday- Chicken in a Pot recipe from my friend Kathleen

Friday- Spaghetti Squash with Spinach, Raisins, and Walnuts from this awesome new blog that my friend Ashley showed me. I don't like walnuts so I will probably use pine nuts

Saturday- Sloppy Lentils in Crock Pot with salad

Sunday- Pasta with Pumpkin and Sausage and salad if we still have some lettuce from our CSA. Thanks to my friend Beth for this recipe

Busy Week

I have the flu so will not be posting a meal plan. I actually think I am over the worst of it thankfully.

We are very very busy this week on top of me being sick! We got carpet in our 2 bedrooms yesterday and today we are getting insulation put in the attic. Hopefully both will help out bills this winter.

We are also continuing to prepare for the coming of baby Telia. Evidently, you are full term when you are 37 weeks...so, any day now. My friends, Hollie and Angela, threw a small shower for Telia this weekend. We mostly just invited family and a few friends. It was real nice and Telia got some great stuff. Here are a few pics:

37 weeks and 3 days

Ruby's 2 Year Pictures

My friend Jessica took some great pictures of Ruby last month when she turned 2 years old. Here are just a few that I picked out. Thanks Jessica...you did a great job!

Happy Birthday Hollie!

Today is my friend Hollie's Birthday! We have been friends for a long long time (about 21 years) and I still cherish her presence in my life. Happy Birthday Hollie!!!!

Shower for Telia

A few of my friends threw me a small shower last weekend. It was so nice to spend time with them and to get a few items just for Telia. I got some pretty adorable hand made things and the girls did a pretty awesome craft for Ruby and Telia's room. Here is the link to the idea and i will post more when we get it hung up. We had some great fall treats, good conversations, lots of laughs talking about labor and delivery, and 4 of us were expecting our 2nd little ones. Here are some pics from the day:

Lindsy and myself! Lindsy was the master mind behind the shower and did a fantastic job!

I love this pic because I feel like the topic was labor and
delivery which turned pretty humorous pretty quickly.
