Menu Monday...
I didn't get real creative w/the menu for this week. My MIL is retiring from teaching and her school is having a retirement party on wed. She taught 8th grade History and let me tell you she has been a huge help! Especially since I have an 8th grader myself!!! I am thrilled w/the retirement. I'm hoping this means we'll get them more than just every wed for dinner. Maybe a little hang time w/GiGi during the day while everyone is at work or school! WOOHOOI made homemade pizza on Friday. Yes, my first time to make dough ever. I realized I have all the ingredients on hand so why not! The kids were freaking out over the dough and hubby actually asked for seconds. He wanted me to make a thin crust for tonight for him. I found a recipe and it's chilling in the fridge! I didn't realize how much I enjoy making dough!
I have decided to start making cookie bouquets for gifts. For the past 3 weeks I have been baking up a storm coming up w/the best sugar cookie recipe and frosting. I think I've found the frosting. It makes a terrific glaze and holds it shape in frosting form for packing. The sugar cookie though...well...I've found 2 recipes that are good...just trying to find the 'perfect' one for packing and tasting too! I'll post pictures of my cookies as I go along! I'm thinking up of names for my cookies business adventure! So far I have "Southern Magnolia Sweets" . No one likes that name but me, but trying to find a southern name to suit me!
Hope everyone had a terrific weekend

I used to make pizza a lot, until I had seven kids.
A week ago I made it, and my five-year-old that it was heaven. Maybe I need to get going on that again (he's the one that thought your corn fritters were the best ever!).
ive always loved making pizza dough. i havent found the right dough but ill keep experimenting.
Also, it is awesome that you have a "menu" for your week. Ugh I am so undomesticated. I don't even know how to cook!
Someone said Southern Sweets -- that's cute too!
