Last week was very successful overall. Everything turned out quite amazing, especially the fettuccine. The Mongolian Pork was just ok, the sauce was excellent but the dish as a whole is better with beef.
Onto this week's menu:
Saturday: Chinese from the new place in town
Sunday: Stuffing topped chicken pot pie
Monday: Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo (yes, again. Jason has to put Kaleb to bed on his own and wants him to eat well at supper - Kaleb loves alfredo!)
Tuesday: Chicken Kiev with Perogies
Wednesday: Steak with mashed potatoes
Thursday: Salmon with Rice
Friday: TBD

25 Days of Christmas: Ice Ornaments
While browsing Pinterest one day, I came across these tree ornaments for outside. I thought they were super cute, however I had no berries, nor did I feel like getting twigs. Instead I decided to pull out my food colouring and make non-spherical balls. All I did was grab my muffin tins, filled about a 1/3 way with water and mix in the food colouring. I then took some fishing line and strategically placed it in the water.
Then waited rather impatiently while they froze.
I was all excited when they were ready, until Jason informed me that the weather for the next week will be around freezing and they will most likely melt. So my newly lit outdoor tree will remain undecorated for a week or so. Boooo.

25 Days of Christmas: O Christmas Tree!
We started of this challenge by doing something very Christmas-y, decorate a tree!
Last weekend we noticed our neighbours were decorating a tree they had got during the day, and I mentioned to Jason how when Kaleb is older we'll have to do the same thing. You know, go for a ride in the bush, find the perfect tree and cut it down. Just as you are leaving, spot an even better tree and cut that one down too. Come back and decorate them, have hot chocolate, chase the dog, play in the snow. Just like in the movies.
Well two days later, we have a knock at the door, it is our neighbour telling us that he forgot about the tree he had put aside at work (he works in the bush) and said we could have it if we wanted. Yes, our neighbour is that awesome.
Flash forward to tonight: we finally got some lights and after Kaleb was peacefully sleeping, out we went (with baby monitor in tow, don't worry!). Once we determined the lights were indeed working, (and switching the solar timer switch off due to their brightness) we found the perfect spot in our yard and began decorating.
We even chased the dog, played in the snow and had hot chocolate. Just like in the movies, but in real life. We had so much fun, we're hoping to do this every year.
I've got to say, it looks quite awesome! What do you think?
