I just haven’t been organized enough lately to plan a menu. It just seems all too difficult. I also haven’t been cooking or baking anything that seems “blog-worthy.” So I apologize again for the lack of recipes. I never was one to make desserts, so you aren’t apt to see to much of that here. Although I would like to learn how to make them. Dinners have been a lot my standard recipes – nothing new and exciting. I’ve just been uninspired.
Next week, however, marks some big milestones. My 1 year gluten-free anniversary. And my 9-year wedding anniversary. Fortunately, we have this great restaurant here in town that we go to for fancy occasions, and they have always been able to get me wonderful and safe meal. I’ll be sure to give a full report on the food.
In the meantime, here’s an attempt at this week’s menu.
Monday:
Miniature (Individual) Quiches of various flavors
(I’ll try to remember to post about this)
Salad
Tuesday:
Out to Dinner
Wednesday:
Chicken
Asparagus Mushroom Risotto (from Gluten Free Cooking School)
(See the Step-by-Step instructions for Risotto kindly provided by Mary Frances – she rocks!)
Thursday:
to be determined….
(brain can’t think that far ahead)
Friday:
Kabob Party
(make your own kabob)
At some point I’m going to attempt to make creme brulee. It’s one of my favorite desserts (when done right). I’ll add a few strawberries along side to stay in keeping with this week’s theme.
Now head over to Faking It Gluten Free Style who is hosting this week’s menu swap to find more menus and recipes from people more organized than I am this week. 
And lastly, here’s my brag - my husband makes furniture in his spare time, and this is his latest accomplishment:

Thanks Carrie! It’s actually not until next week. But I already know where we are going out to dinner. It’s this really fancy place that has a great chef, and I can eat a high class meal with sauce and flavor like a “normal” person! None of the plain, unseasoned chicken and steamed veggies there! lol!
Good grief! I was so enamored by your husband’s furniture, I completely forget to wish you a very happy anniversary!!! 9 years!! That is a true celebration in this day and time!! That is just wonderful Karen! And Happy Gluten Free anniversary! It’s been a good (even though tough at times) year hasn’t it!! you go girl!
Thanks for all the compliments – I’ll pass them along to him. He’s definitely a keeper.
Oh my gosh, that is amazing! He has a real talent there.
WoW–that is a gorgeous piece of furniture. Go hubby!
Beautiful furniture! Just found your blog last month… we are from NH but now live in Texas. So, I love the name of your blog! Thanks for all the fabulous recipes!
Thanks Carrie! I am lucky that I get all this great custom made furniture. He’s just learning, and makes random things that he feels like, but I’m not going to complain! He does such a good job at it. He may notice his mistakes, but no one else does. (I don’t unless he points them out.)
I got the idea for the kabob party from Food & Wine Magazine. Basically, get out all the ingredients for kabobs, plus some dipping sauces, then have everyone make their own. So assuming the weather cooperates and we can grill outside, that’s the plan.
I don’t envy you the long days. I may be heading that way with a new job. Depends on what I end up with.
WOW!!! Does your husband take custom orders!! What a fabulous table!! I’m jealous!! That is just gorgeous!!
I totally get ya on feeling un-inspired lately. Me too chic. Don’t know what’s gotten into me… I think it’s these 10 hour work days, I have NO desire to cook when I get home, and then on weekends, there is so much catching up do to from the lack of being home during the week, cooking just doesn’t seem to fit in lately!
I think your menu looks great! A kabob party is a super cool idea!!
