Mustaches & Menus

This weekend was an absolute blast!  Both my sisters were in town to help my hubby in the Corporate Olympics slow-pitch softball tournament.  There was lots of quality time...

From left to right, my sister Erin, myself, and my youngest sister Amy.

And, no sister weekend is complete without some mustache fun...

Myself with the hippy 'stache.  I don't know what it is about sticking on a disposable mustache, but it always ends up with a lot of laughter and hilarious photos!

Now that everyone is cleared out and headed home, I have some time to share my weekly menu post with you all.  It is short and sweet as I will be headed to the World Pork Expo in the middle of the week.  Last year was so much fun, I decided I couldn't turn down the opportunity!  To keep the Bear from delving into frozen pizza while I am away, I will be whipping up a batch of Southwester Turkey Joes.  These tasty little sandys can be made in a slow-cooker and are kid friendly.  As the weather heats up, I plan to cool things off with a simple pasta salad.  And for my return, I will be making an elegant stuffed chicken breast with herbed goat cheese and a side salad.  Here is the rundown:

Sunday 6/3        Chicken Tacos with Cilantro-Lime Slaw

Monday 6/4      Southwestern Turkey Joes with Sweet Potato Fries

Tuesday 6/5      Pasta Salad with Green Beans & Roasted Tomatoes
