Upside Down Cats

Is it really time to post another weekly menu? Time sure flies when I have an "alternative" work week! Oh, then to top it off, I suffered one of the worst headaches I've ever had, which lasted for two solid days! But enough about me... It's time to answer the burning question, "What's to eat this week?" Here's a taste of the meals I've planned in advance to cook for us...

 

Shrimp Lo Mein (My salute to Chinese New Year!)

Tortilla Crusted Tilapia, Spanish Rice, Oven Roasted Corn & Peppers

Mexicali Pub Burgers, French Fries & Creamy Coleslaw

Beef Roast, Herb Roasted Potato Slices & Broccoli

Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sub Sandwiches, Hash Browns & Clementines

 

Well, the plan is in place...now all I have to do is feel well enough to implement it!

Although we're still in the grips of Winter here in the midwest, our 20 degree days actually feel warm compared to last week's sub zero temperatures! All these bitterly cold days make me glad for the warmth of my kitchen! As usual I've planned our meals in advance for the upcoming week. Here's a peek at what will warm us this week...

 

Homemade Macaroni & Cheese & Broccoli w/ Garlic & Lemon

Chicken Breast Wraps w/ Lettuce & Tomato & Cross Cut Fries

Chicken Parmesan, Pasta w/ Olive Oil & Garlic & Mixed Greens Salad

Polish Sausage, Homemade Macaroni & Cheese & Marinated Broccoli, Cauliflower & Carrot Salad

Almond-Crusted French Toast, Maple Sausage Links & Blueberries

Bacon & Garlic-Herb Cream Cheese Omlette & Whole Wheat Bagels

 

Hopefully by keeping the food interesting we can keep the Winter "blahs" at bay!

It was recently brought to my attention by Jer at upsidedowndogs.com that there weren't enough photos of upside down cats here on upsidedowncats.com. Accepting the comment as a challenge, real or imagined, I scoured through photos today and discovered this gem of our dear Penny.

Could she look more comfy? Absolute bliss...



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Personally, I believe there to be an abundance of cats "assuming the position" to see here. Just click on the "cat-a-gory" called "upside down" to view a plethora of upside down feline friends!

I've always considered my blog to be more conceptual than literal. I embrace the upside down cat as a symbol of the peace and contentment I seek in my own life.

Not that the sight of an upside down cat doesn't in and of itself bring a certain sense of contentment...

Here it is...my first post of 2009! It's nothing particularly creative...just another installment of my What's Cookin'? series. At least it's an effort toward blogging this year. My blogging sure fell apart at the holidays! When my schedule changed so did my blogging routine. Hopefully this is the start of another busy blog year for me.

Regardez...the triumphant return of What's Cookin'? where I share with you some of what I've planned in advance to cook during the upcoming week:

 

Hot Dogs, French Fries & Spring Mix Salad

Honey-Lemon Glazed Mahi Mahi, Homemade "Rice-A-Roni" & Oven Roasted Broccoli

Italian Sub Sandwiches w/ Turkey, Roast Beef, Genoa Salami & Provolone & Homemade Vegetable-Lentil Soup

Double Shell Beef Tacos w/ Refried Beans, Lettuce & Tomato

Greek Marinated Chicken Breasts, Couscous w/ Walnuts & Spinach Sauted w/ Olive Oil & Garlic

Pizza Bread & Homemade Vegetable-Lentil Soup

Chicken Enchiladas Blanca & Spring Mix Salad

 

So there we are...I'm back on the blog horse with grand plans to entertain and delight in 2009.

Amen
