When I first created the
chalk wall in our kitchen (at the end of August!), I envisioned writing out our weekly menu on it, but I admit, this week is the first week I've actually done that. I got inspired by my gorgeous friend Carmel at
Our Fifth House. She's and her family have recently
gone Paleo and she shared a delicious
cauliflower hummus recipe on my health blog,
Honey We're Healthy last week.
I definitely prefer to plan our meals for the week, but that doesn't always happen. And recently, while I was doing the
Live Fit 12-Week training program, I was eating the same thing over and over. I still do that a lot (especially for lunches), but lately I've really been in the mood to cook.
The chalkboard menu is a great visual reminder of what's up for dinner each night. I used a
chalk marker to write out our meals, and the pens do leave some residual ink behind. I wipe my chalk wall clean with windex and paper towels.
OMG- the fajitas last night were so good! I used
this recipe to marinate the skirt steak overnight- highly recommended! This
salmon recipe was really good too. Is Friday your "eat out/mama's not cooking" night too?? :)
