Ready for the weekend!


20 days of being married down and the rest of my life to go :)
...AND the weekend is finally here!

Before Jake and I got married we agreed to set out a meal plan for the week so at the beginning of the week we can buy groceries. Here was our meal plan for this past week:

Monday: Hamburger steaks, mashed potatoes, and cornbread (I snuck in from class and made the entire meal while Jake was napping without waking him! Pretty good huh?)
Tuesday: Poppyseed chicken and macaroni
Wednesday: Corndogs (this is our quick night since I have class and then we have church)
Thursday: Chicken Quesadillas
Friday: Chicken Pot Pie
I didn't realize it when I made the menu out, but our whole week was pretty much chicken..I'll be sure to fix that next time.

So here is our experiment with chicken pot pie..we've never made it before.
The combination process:
Before baking it:
The finished product:

It was pretty good, but needs a few tweaks. Next time not so much milk and crisp the bottom pie crust first. Then it will be super delish!

Oh and I want to show everyone these great cookbooks I found this week...I'm super excited to start trying some recipes out of them! These are the ones I bought for 9.99 each (I had a gift card) But if you click on the first picture it takes you to their website and there are so many to choose from!
