Week 13 (??): the Spinach and Feta stuffed Chicken breasts with Herbed Mayonnaise sauce were fantastic! I think they made the top three so far, closely behind the Mediterranean Pitas (still #1) and the Spinach and Feta stuffed Salmon. As sides, we had steamed cauliflower with cheese sauce, corn (canned, but hey, almost everything else was scratch :-)), Garlic Texas Toast and yeast rolls. We have one who has decided to be vegetarian, but I had a frozen Steamer with mac & cheese w/broccoli, so it was all good.

The boys are going to pick the menu next week, so I guess it will be a surprise. We told them they could cook, too, so we'll see how it goes. I enjoy cooking, but I'd enjoy a night off and being served too - being a gracious receiver is sometimes hard, but it's important. As someone special once reminded me, if you refuse to let others give to you, you are depriving them of the joy of giving.

I'm trying to find ways to be more giving in non-monetary ways. It's so easy to give money (even when I can't afford much), but much harder to give of self - especially in meaningful ways. So here's to prayers for guidance and discernment to find opportunities for servanthood.

Happy Tuesday!
