Weekend Recap & Menu Plan 2/14 - 2/20

First off I want to thank everyone who has so far entered my giveaway for the cutest reusable produce bags ever:) If you haven't had a chance to enter, you have until this Friday!

I had a great weekend and Valentine's Day wine tasting and relaxing in Northern Michigan.  We stayed at the sweetest little ski resort and really enjoyed the snow.  I am probably the most uncoordinated person to ever grace the steps of the place...so I didn't ski.  But, I had a great time watching other skiers and enjoying everything else there was to offer. I also really enjoyed watching the Olympic opening ceremonies from here:


This was the view out of our room.  At night everything was lit up with twinkle lights.  So cute!



Hubby thought this pose was really cheesy:)



Before going wine tasting around the peninsulas my guy bought me a 90 minutes massage.  Oh my word.  It was wonderful.  I love him. This was one of the wineries that we tasted at.  They have an inn, where I plan to stay at in my next life when I'm a millionaire.




We also ate lunch at this great restaurant housed inside a refurbished state mental hospital. The size of the building was huge and oddly quite beautiful. This picture only shows probably a tenth of the place.  


Currently, they are refurbishing some parts to be used as condos. Completely un-creepy, no?



I linked this Valentine's Recap up with Amber @ Friend Makin Monday.  Such a cute blog!

Okay, well now I have to come back to the real world and menu plan.  So here's what I have for the week:

Sunday:  Pizza..I was tired :)

Monday:  Quinoa Pilaf with Chicken Sausages

Tuesday: Clam Pasta with Salad...I will post this recipe later in the week.

Wednesday:  Dinner @ Church for Ash Wednesday

Thursday: Left over pasta

Friday: Roasted Pork with broccoli

Saturday: Dinner Out

Have a great week!!

  2. Looks like an amazing weekend. Fantastic pictures. I wish we had more things like here on the west coast. We watched the opening ceremonies as well. I think it's so strange for me as it was 45 mins away from my house!

  3. What a fun weekend. I am glad you had fun. Thanks again for stopping by my Round Robin.. Hope to see you at the next one March 12th. I am hosting a Family Fridays with another blogger on my blog this Friday. You just share a story about your family. If you want to stop by that would be great.

  4. I enjoyed reading your blog! I love to nest, even though it is kind of a new role for me - just got married last Sept.

    Thanks for visiting my blog. PS Great poem for mamakat. Also, your kitchen is pretty wonderful. I think stone tilework on the back wall would set off the white and brown and add texture.

  12. Oh, Black Star Farms, how I miss you!! I love that place. Isn't it amazing? My husband and I were married on Mackinac Island, but BSF was one of the other places we looked at on the "mainland." The Leelanau Peninsula is heaven to me. Glad you had a great time!
