Yum.

Ok.

I'm officially diagnosing myself with some kind of food-obsessed disorder.

I may or may not have watched Julie and Julia three times this weekend--the product of not having cable and this being the only movie we own that is food related.

In my defense I didn't just sit and watch it all three times--it was mostly in the background.

Yea, yea, yea.

I know.

Not a great defense.

Moving on. Back to my food-obsessed disorder.

Maybe this is what it is like to be a foodie? But isn't that for someone with a sophisticated palate? I'm pretty sure mine is no different than anyone else's. Yet, here I am. My problem seems to be a desire for specific foods and various combinations of flavor. BBQ and red onions. Tomatoes, basil, and balsamic vinaigrette. Pasta, sauce, and cheese. Beef and various herbs. All sound scrumptious and seem to be calling my name.

Last night as I worked on our weekly dinner menu I made sure to incorporate some of these flavors. I cannot wait. This Brussel Sprout Hash looks like a phenomenal breakfast option. I'm planning on making these easy cinnamon rolls for Jonathan. I made them for our Sunday School class this week and his only complaint was he didn't get to eat enough *oh goodness.*

And just so you understand the depth of my madness, here is our dinner menu for the week:

Monday: BBQ Pulled Pork (we are hosting 15 people for our Bible study group, so they are responsible for the rest of the meal--but let me tell you, they all are wonderful cooks!) 

Tuesday: Homemade Bruschetta and French Onion Soup 

Wednesday: Spinach Lasagna Rolls 

Thursday and Friday: Out for dinner

Saturday: Spicy Black Bean Burgers with Crispy Sweet Potato Fries

Sunday: Homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza


Ok, so maybe it isn't that crazy, but this is just my dinner plans. Oh my stomach is growling in anticipation. I cannot tell you how long I have been having cravings for bruschetta...yum!

Well now that I've made you all hungry, I hope you have a fabulous Monday!
