Menu Plan Monday #8

Laura at Org Junkie runs Menu Plan Monday each week. 2 weeks in a row!

Monday - Lemon roasted chicken
Tuesday - Creamy avocado pasta
Wednesday - Meatball Subs
Thursday - Pizza night, hopefully we can make it at home using a free pizza crust coupon I won!
Friday - At the hopsital visiting grandpa
Saturday - At the hospital visiting grandpa
Sunday - Taco Salad

I want to make twice baked potatoes for a side dish one night :)

I will report back next Monday on if I stuck to my plan or not

Below is last week's report

Monday - Fish with Bone Suckin' Sauce - skipped this because I wasn't home.  I had a club supreme sandwich from Jersey Mike's instead.

Tuesday - Breakfast for Dinner - we made pancakes which were delicious.  There were a lot so I froze a few!

Wednesday - Bringing something in for my mom's birthday...maybe chili dogs or Mexican. :) - We ended up bringing in Chinese food.  We ordered chicken fried rice, sweet & sour fish, and chicken egg foo young.  Because I used to work in the same shopping center as Mandarin Palace (the best place in SB), the owner threw in free wonton soup!  Yay!

Thursday - Hamburger on a sandwich thin - I ended up at the hospital visiting my grandpa for 2 days.  I had a delicious pesto turkey panini in the hospital cafeteria though LOL

Friday - Lemon Roasted Chicken (trying a recipe from Budget Savvy Diva) - I just had a light dinner of leftover Chinese food from Wednesday.  I was exhausted after a 3 hour drive home.

Saturday - Creamy Avocado Pasta (trying a recipe from Simply Being Mommy) - I ended up dogsitting and having a TV dinner.  I will move yesterday and today's foods to the future!

Sunday - Bringing in Chinese to use my Axxess card - We ended up getting McDonalds because I wanted a free glass LOL

Six Word Saturday - #29

Show my Face blog hosts Six Word Saturday each week. I love this meme, because it is so simple yet can tell so much.  2 weeks in a row, yay!

Taking the day off, long week.

My grandpa went into the hospital Tuesday night and we were there Thursday and Friday.  I just want to relax now that we are home and he is on the mend (but still in the hospital)

That's my grandpa on the right :/

Italia Pizza & Pasta - SB Axxess Blogging Year 4 #1

Yay for a new year of Santa Barbara Axxess with new restaurants!  We started off with Italia Pizza & Pasta in Goleta.  They just opened within the last few months and we hadn't tried them out yet.  Wow, they are delicious!

I ordered the Mama Celeste special which was just penne pasta in a pesto cream sauce with chicken and a side of garlic bread.  So tasty and such a big portion!

My dad ordered chicken piccata...and this is the lunch size!  He said it was really lemony and yummy.

We both had enough food to take home which was awesome.  My dad's meal was free on the buy 1 get 1 free deal, so we saved $8.95.  They also offer 10% off on all future visits...yay!  I definitely plan on returning here and would highly recommend it!!!

Do you like going out for Italian?  If so, what do you order?
