Menu: May 2-8

I would have to say that I have the best mother and mother-in-law a girl could ever have so Happy Mother's Day to all of you other Mom's out there! If it weren't for my mom letting me experiment in the kitchen during my teen years, I probably would not be as excited about cooking as I am. Also, my mother-in-law has always encouraged my cooking fancies with new kitchen gear, cooking magazine subscriptions, and critiquing some of my new recipes. She also provides dinner for us once a week, which gives me a nice break. I am truly blessed by both of them!

• Pulled Pork & Slaw and fresh cut veggies - I may try a new roll recipe this week but am still looking for the perfect recipe for them. A friend (who grew up in PA) told me about these delicious rolls called "Pretzel Rolls". If anyone knows of a really good authentic recipe for these, please let me know.
• Roasted Chicken Breast, sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli, glazed baby carrots and crescent rolls.
• Zuppa Toscana Soup (Italian sausage and potato soup), side salad, and breadsticks.
• Steak Fajitas and Mexican Rice
• Chicken Noodle Soup and homemade bread - Mr. R. has been requesting this for the last 2 weeks so I figured it better go on the menu. :o)
• Mother's Day Picnic - turkey & cheese croissants, pasta salad, fruit salad and carrots sticks. I am going to have everything ready to go and in the cooler so we can go directly from church to the park for a nice Mother's Day Picnic.
