Cambozola Platter on the Patio and Meal Planning

Another glorious weekend and the weather could not have been better (hard to believe snow is in the forecast later this week...ugh!!)  Having a rare free weekend, I was finally able to get back into the kitchen and cook.  I feel like with the crazy and hectic schedule all of us had these past few weeks, I was just barely making my way through getting meals on the table.

Before any of the weekend's cooking started though, we enjoyed a wonderful platter of Cambozola cheese, Peach-Mango Salsa, toasted Naan bread and a chilled bottle of Butternut Chardonnay on the patio.  Perfect sunset and happy hour appetizer to end our week.

My mission this weekend was very simple...knock out as many breakfast pieces, work lunches that can be reheated and ready-to-go dinner items as I could for us to have a relatively smooth week (as much as our family can in any case).  So, here is a recap of what I accomplished.  I made some oldies but goodies, which are photographed below from previous posts and the recipe link included.  I also tried out some new ones, stay tuned for those.
