Menu Plan Monday

Poor Pete has dealt great with my food aversions during this pregnancy. When talking about the menu this week I told him to pick it all and I would do whatever. Pete is not a big fan of pasta while, I could seriously eat pasta every night, and might as well take advantage of being able to do it while I'm pregnant! So here is menu plan Monday according to Pete!

Monday: Chicken Divian
Tuesday: Haddock & french fries
Wednesday: Chicken Havarti
Thursday: Boys night, I have class....
Friday: Take out!!

Outside Play

When Pete got home from work the other day, we took Peter outside and he had a blast! We were out for over an hour, he would't go in! We took a walk around the neighborhood because he wanted to and proceeded to wave to everyone out shoveling or snowblowing. He really enjoyed a sled ride from Daddy around the yard and down our back hill!

Going for a sled ride....

having lots of fun :)

Music Class

Last Friday, Buna and I started a music class at Peekaboo Children's Place in Westbrook. I thought it would be great to do something like this before the baby comes. We go to Peekaboo often, it is a great indoor playspace for kids his age. I thought the music class would be great, but I think it's awful.and won't be signing up again!It's basically like paying for storytime at the library. After the first class many parents complained! It is run separate from Peekaboo, the women rents the room from them. I am doing it still, just so I can have this time with my little guy before baby "dos" arrives.

getting some playtime in before class!

His friend Cayla is in the class with him.

love being able to do things with him like this :)

Chicken Pot Pie

Yum, yum, yum!! Thanks to the Kahn's nanny, Lori, I now have a new favorite recipe! The recipe calls for chicken but due to my food aversion, I left it out and added a few more veggies, highlighted in red, and turned it into a veggie pot pie. The daycare kids loved it as well!

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup chopped celery
1 package frozen peas & carrots (I used a frozen stew package.. potatoes, carrots, peas,onion)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
2/3 cup milk
2 1/2 - 3 cups of cut up cooked chicken or turkey
1 package of Pillsbury's pie crust

Directions
Heat oven to 425. Rise frozen veggies to separate, drain. Heat butter in saucepan over medium heat until melted, stir in flour, salt & pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is bubbly, remove from heat. Stir in broth & milk, heat to boiling, stirring constantly... add in chicken & veggies. Pour mixture into pie crust bottom. Place top pie crust on. Bake about 35 minutes or until golden brown

Snowed In!!!

For the 5th consecutive Wednesday, it has snowed! The news said we should get 10 -16 inches today and so far we are on that path! It is so pretty outside, here are a few images from this morning!
