No Menu Monday

Well, hello! It's Monday again, huh? :) I haven't been in the cooking mood the last couple of weeks, so I've just been using some easy, go-to recipes. And this week, I just pulled up an old Menu Monday (and accompanying grocery list) and plan to repeat it entirely. I think I'm just protesting the transition from summer to fall...ready to go full force into soups, stews, and casseroles! Yum!

This was an interesting recipe we tried a couple of weeks ago: Roasted Garlic Pasta "Salad." It was more like a warm sauced pasta than a salad, and you use low-fat ricotta flavored with a head of roasted garlic for a delicious, healthier creamy sauce. I think it would be good with any kind of veggies! The recipe is here.

I also haven't blogged much about our activities or weekends lately. That's because we've been pretty boring low-key, which is a good thing...because we're heading into a solid month of booked weekends. All good and fun things, though, so we're excited! Andrew did brighten up my week last week with a special delivery of roses, two pints of High Road Craft, and a new magazine! "Just because." So I think that's worth blogging. ;)

Anyway, just thought I'd check in to the ole blog! We can't believe it's almost October...can you?
