Menu Plan Monday- Taste of Home

What a beautiful weekend!! We started it by having friends over for a BBQ and ended it with our Tour de Dads gettting to see most of our family yesterday. The weather was good, I got some projects done around the house and we got to enjoy Cynthia & Katelyn's housewarming party on Saturday. I got my Taste of Home magazine a few weeks back and since the last time I did my TOH menu plan, I got great feedback, I'm doing it again! Enjoy your week :)

This week was a great week. It was not crazy scheduled and we got to enjoy our time!

1. Saturday evening Pete and I had a great time at his cousin Kurt's wedding.!

2. On Tuesday, Peter got to meet NASCAR Nationwide series Parker Klingman & Alex Bowman. He was so excited! 

3. In an attempt to declutter and organize I got rid of a ton of books!

4. I discovered on Wednesday that Peter took 52(Yes, 52, I counted) selfie's on my phone, haha!

5. Yesterday we took a walk to the horse farm. Jack and his buddy Bryce.

6. It took awhile but I finally got a new otterbox. 

7. Last night we went over to Cyn & Katelyn's to help with party prepping for their housewarming party on Saturday. Pete & the boys built them a ladder golf game.

Korean Grilled Beef

I feel like I haven't shared a recipe in a long time. We're adding this to our menu rotation! Pete found this in the American Profile magazine, that comes in our local paper on Thursdays. It was so good and extremely easy to make!
