Happy Sunday, and Happy Mother’s Day! After all the chaos from planning a brunch on Saturday, I can finally relax and get back to my regular routine! First up, Meal Planning with the What’s For Dinner link up with Jill Conyers and Mommy, Run Fast!
Last Week Recap:
Since I was at the Blogger Conference the weekend before last, I got home from Maryland too late on Sunday to even think about meal planning for the week. Thankfully, Bret cooked some great meals a few nights with lots of Brussels sprouts, peppers, and some delicious brats!
On Friday night we went to an awesome restaurant called Inriva that’s not far from our neighborhood. We’ve gone past it so many times on bike rides and morning runs and finally checked it out. We ate outside and had a really great time. The menu was overwhelming but our server was so helpful! We got some great meat and cheese (with delicious bread and dipping sauces) and finished off with a mushroom zucchini pizza. Delicious!

Are you having a special Mother’s Day dinner today?



Blogger conferences are so much fun! I was traveling back from the beach today, but we did do a special ice cream outing for mother’s day. 🙂
Mushroom and zucchini pizza sounds amazing! It feels good to get back to a routine.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms in your life 🙂
Your Friday night dinner looks amazing!! I love a good meat and cheese plate!
Those Buffalo Meatloaf muffins sound so good.
Your photos from last week both look very tasty! Maybe something on my menu will get swapped for a homemade mushroom and zucchini pizza 😉 Your upcoming meals seem delicious, too!
