what's cookin' this week?
*Puttanesca Sauce w/ Chicken & Angel Hair Pasta {Weight Watchers Magazine}
*Spicy Stir-Fried Chicken & Spinach {Weight Watchers Magazine}
*Roast w/ Sweet Potatoes & Salad
*Beef Carnitas {Cooking Light Magazine}
the roast and beef carnitas are favorites in our house...the Puttanesca Chicken dish and Stir Fry dish will be new trys...we will see how they stand up. honestly, the Puttanesca dish can't be that bad, i mean it's got capers, onions, red pepper flakes and kalamata olives....anything with those would HAVE to be good!
i'll let you know how they turn out.
the *real* ruby jewel
ruby jewel spencer was my great-grandmother on my dad's side of the family. she was spunky, always wore tons of costume jewelry {probably where i get that from}, had 20 shades of lipstick sitting on her bathroom counter at all times, had a warm home full of photos, always had something cooking {typically a HUGE pot of brown beans on the stove}, was married forever to her soul mate and loved spending time with her ever growing family. if she got a hold of your hand she would hold on until you nicely tried to pry your hand away to which she would then hug and kiss you. her and leslie traveled to all 50 states, except alaska and built a lake house that they called "spencer's dream". she had a very full life of laughter, love and family that i can only hope to experience.
