Scheri's week of 10/27

Happy Halloween!!! We have a lot of fun activities planned for the week. I am also trying to plan some festive dinners, so we'll see how they turn out. This is what I have planned:

Monday:
left overs (Harsha & I had a date, but didn't have enough time for dinner.)

Tuesday:
Roasted Ghosts (I'll most likely make them a little healthier and omit the crm chs - we have it w/ the bread anyway)
Glazed carrots (we'll call them our tiny pumpkins)
Ghost Toast (I'm going to use a Whole Grain White Bread)
Salad w/ apples, craisins, walnuts & blue cheese

Wednesday:
Pumpkins filled w/ maggots - HAHA!
I still haven't cooked my bright orange acorn squash, so I'll roast them and fill them with veggies & wild rice.

Thursday:
Halloween Spaghetti & Eyeballs The recipe is more for the presentation idea. We'll use grape tomatoes w/ a little mozz chs for the eyes, broccoli for the nose, zucchini for the ears and a thin carrot slice for the tongue.

Friday:
Warm Pumpkin Salad w/ Polenta & Candied Pumpkin Seeds

Saturday:
Halloween Party- I still need to figure out what spooky dish to make.

Sunday:
Peanut Pad Thai - rice noodles & veggies

Scheri's Week of 10/13

We were so busy last week. I'd love to say this week will be different, but it doesn't look like it will be. We did make the Babganoush-Hummus Pasta and loved it! Harsha got home before the kids and I did, so he actually made it. I know he modified the recipe a little, but not sure exactly what his modifications were. It tasted great, especially with the salad, yummy! Here is my recipe for this coming week:

Monday:
Crockpot Chili (no special recipe, just anything we have in the house)
Potato Rolls

Tuesday:
Lentil & Tomato Soup

Wednesday:
Caprese Pasta
Garlic Bread
