Week in Review 8/20/11

School started this week! I now have a 1st grader. Unfortunately after 2 days at school, he gets sick. Hopefully this weekend he can get better! Unfortunately his best friend is having his birthday party tomorrow, so he will miss out on that. That is a little hard for a 6 year old to understand. He will get there, it will just take some convincing on my part!

Here is what I was up to this week:
Potato Bread with Chives - My first Secret Recipe Club! Light and Airy Potato Bread
Nutella No Bake Bars - No Bake Cookies Meet Nutella
Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins - Your favorite sandwich in a muffin for a super secret SRC reveal
Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans - Tastemaker - Birdseye Steamfresh Chef Favorites review

Here are a few things I have bookmarked this week:
Cast Iron Skillet Potato Cake by My Catholic Kitchen - crispy potato side dish, sounds great!
Polpettine aka Meatballs by The Constant Hunger - I am a sucker for meatballs, and these look fabulous!
Orange Chipotle Ribs by Food is Love - I love saucy ribs!
Flourless Chocolate Brownie Cookies by Creative Kitchen - These look fudgy and delicious!

Have a wonderful weekend!

At August 20, 2011 at 1:57 PM , Baking Serendipity said...: I always have huge goals and expectations for the new school year, and inevitably, get sick and lose sight of them within the first few weeks. Too many new germs at once. Hope your first grader is feeling better soon :)

At August 21, 2011 at 3:44 PM , Unknown said...: Your poor son, I hope he has recovered and won't feel too bad about missing that birthday party. Maybe the two of them can have a special day out to celebrate again to make up for him missing it? That was a great week you had last week, love your recipes!
