Menu Plan Monday

My husband is traveling most of the week so I'm on my own. I'm taking this opportunity to thoroughly clean a room a night (or type of room - i.e. I can do all 3 bathrooms in one night!) as well as eat somewhat healthier. I wonder if I'll stick to this plan until Friday?! Anyway - on to the plan...

Monday
Dinner- leftover chili (it's 90% lean beef and chockfull of proteins so it's not horrible, right? I'll just skimp on the crackers and cheese!) Perfect day too as it's 38 degrees in flipping April!?!
Cleaning- living room and master bedroom, complete with my side of the closet - his side is fine.
Tuesday
Dinner - Basic Grilled Chicken and Roasted Aspargus
Cleaning- the bathrooms
Wednesday
Dinner- "Breakfast" Sandwich on Whole Grain and fruit
Cleaning- Rooms with Carpet - guest room and office
Thursday
Dinner- Almond Lemon Chicken with Rice and Asparagus
Cleaning- the Kitchen
Friday
Dinner - Hockey Game... either my husband will make something when I'm on my way home from work (he gets home late Thursday night and is off work Friday) or we'll eat on our way to the game.
Cleaning - nothing - I'll be home about 45 minutes!
Saturday
Dinner- Probably grilled pizza
Cleaning- Basement - with my husbands help.
Sunday- EASTER!!!

Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee Layer Cake

Yet another Katie recipe, and Williams-Sonoma recipe that didn't fail. I adapted two recipes to create a beatuiful cake for the first of my sister-in-laws bridal showers over the weekend. While I had some issues with the filling spilling over everything went well (once I found a good recipe for buttercream frosting that is!) I knew that there would be one cake at the shower that would be chocolate glaore and then another dessert so I wanted to make sure there was something non-chocolate for the freaks like me that aren't huge fans. This cake was amazing - Vanilla Bean Cake with a creme brulee custard filling and a buttercream frosting. ** I tried my hardest on decorating the cake - this is the first cake I've actually decorated, normally I've just made a sheet cake and just frost the top! Please don't make fun of it!!** Vanilla Bean Cake Adapted from: Good Things Catered Ingredients : 2 c. plus 2 Tbsp cake flour 1 c. milk, room temperature 6 large egg white

Key Lime Gooey Butter Cake

I'm from St. Louis.  The home of Gooey Butter Cake.  Many people think it's a Paula Deen creation, and how could you not when you see how much butter is in it, but you can't go in to a restaurant, bakery or grocery store without seeing gooey butter somewhere in St. Louis.  We love it.  What's not to love with butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, oh my! But, considering I've made it numerous times, I'm always up for a new variation.  Nutella?   Check !  Cookies?  Don't mind if I do !  Pumpkin?  Well of course !  While talking to my mom about what to bring to a family function, she mentioned she saw a recipe for key lime gooey butter cake.  Sold!  I've never heard of the website she sent over to me, but it looked similar to the basics of every other recipe I've used for Gooey Butter Cake so I knew I wanted to give it a try! One thing people may not realize is that Gooey Butter Cake is very easy to make.  Just a few ingredients really!  Just mix

St. Louis Style Pizza (Thin and Crusty Pizza)

Pizza crust is a very personal thing.  Thin, thick, pan, deep-dish, etc.  You love what you love.  I'm a St. Louisan - I love THIN crust pizza.  Like, cracker thin!  I've tried a few different thin crust recipes , and since they're pizza they're enjoyable, but when I saw this recipe on Cook's Country while watching some old videos I knew I needed to try it immediately.  Made it a few days later and it was fantastic.  This is definitely my new go-to cracker thin pizza crust recipe. What I loved best about this recipe is that it was so simple.  A handful of ingredients, no advance prep needed, no unique ingredients, simple.  Literally anyone that can combine a few ingredients together could make this recipe.  And because you don't need to prep it in advance, you could make the dough, sauce, top it and bake the pizza on many given weeknights!  A huge win for our house!
