Well, this week includes Halloween! My parents will be coming in town for the weekend and will get to spend it with our kids for the first time. We'll be keeping it simple that night making some fancy grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup - a classic. Something to fill their tummies before all of that candy. Gavin said that he wants to trick-or-treat at one hundred houses! We'll see how he feels after we get through the 20 on our street. Hopefully, that will be enough. :) We are so busy this week - traveling to the local aquarium and battleship for their Halloween bashes after school. The kids are super excited and it is so much fun to watch them!

Oh my, we loved everything from the October 19th - 25th 2009 menu plan. If you missed it, do check it out. Everything was awesome - we will be making it all again. That doesn't happen every week!

I reference everything on the menu with a link to the recipe, unless it's something that doesn't require one. If the link directs you to another website, it means that I have not tried the recipe, and therefore have no idea whether it is good or not. :) If the link leads to a posted recipe here on my blog, it means that it is a tried & true family recipe that we love. I will also revisit some of the recipes I link to and leave comments about how they turned out for us the following week.
