Menu Monday and A Recipe





I am linking up with Rachel over at In No Simple Language for Menu Monday! Here is what we are eating this week...

Monday: Spring Mix Salad w/toasted Almonds
Tuesday: Taco Tuesday
Wednesday: Hudson's Birthday Dinner - He chose Pizza
Friday: Dinner at a friends' house

So we aren't eating super healthy this week which means I will be working out extra hard!

The other week Erin posted an amazing recipe for Spicy Sausage Pasta that M and I just had to try! It was amazing! Here is the recipe....you must make this!
