We have all our Christmas decorations down from the attic and I can’t wait to start decorating! I am in fact in search of a new tree as the lights went out on mine, and it is such a pain to take the old ones off and re-string. So pre-lit tree shopping I go.

As I am planning this week’s menu I am still recovering from our 10 year high school reunion last night. I had such a blast and ending up partying till the wee hours of the morning (5 am). And yes I am feeling it today, I am definitely not 18 anymore. But I would certainly do it all over again, fun fun fun.

I am still incorporating plenty of Pumpkin recipes into my menu and trying some lower fat versions of things, fat free milk, etc.

I am still shredding along, and completed week 3 and started level 2 last week, though I didn’t post about it. One more week on level 2 this week, and I can already feel a vast improvement in my energy levels and I feel stronger, loving that.

Did you attend your high school reunions? Or will you?

I have a few projects lined up for this week, number 1 is get the boys big boy beds, yes I know were kind of late in that game, but they just love their cribs, and do so well, but now it is time.

Last week we planned on a garage sale, but it didn’t happen. Seems like that each time, we’ve been planning this garage sale for 2 years now, lol. We just have so much stuff, I don’t know honestly if it will ever happen, yikes! This week I will be doing some cooking for a friend of mine that just had a precious baby boy. I always think it’s so nice when people bring over food already prepared, just pop in the oven. Two of my favorite recipes to make are friendship casserole and cheesy chicken enchiladas, both because they are easy to double, freeze well, and they are delicious.

What is your favorite casserole?

Barbecue Chicken Pizza
