Eighteen days until the official start of basketball season! A friend posted this great video of KU basketball highlights and I thought I would share! I can't wait!

Going Mad!
The buzz surrounding Mad Men has finally hit us. We started watching Season 3, but then realized we could check out Seasons 1 & 2 from the library--for free!
I got an e-mail over the weekend saying that Discs 1 & 2 of Season 1 were on hold for me at our local branch. Needless to say--we're sitting in front of the television tonight!
Busy, busy, busy...
Okay, so I know that I promised to post updates last week. Obviously, that didn't happen. We have so super busy between work, a couple of weekend trips and all of the activities for my brother's upcoming wedding.
With all of this flurry of activity, we've also not made it to the grocery store which means less time cooking. When we got home from the KU football game on Saturday, our fridge was completely empty. A Lean Cuisine for dinner on a Saturday night is not my ideal choice.
When this hectic time of the year rears its ugly head, a fool-proof way for us to actually cook at home is to plan our meals for the week in advance. So, I headed to the grocery store yesterday afternoon, list in-hand. This is what we came up with:
Sunday: Wine, cheese and cocktail shrimp
Monday: Philly Cheesesteaks (using the leftover baguette) and roasted red potatoes
Tuesday: Garlic Pork Chops with Sauvignon Beurre Blanc and mashed potatoes
Wednesday: Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Pasta
Thursday: Rep outing at The Westside Local (and yay--hubs is invited!)
Friday: Manale Shrimp
Saturday: Wedding reception/out with friends
As you can see, I tend to find my recipes online which is also a great time-saver! Two of those that we're trying are new, so I'll make sure to let you know how they turn out!

We were on a break...
Sorry for the lack of posts this past week...I guess we were on a break and I didn't bother to tell you all!
Watch out for updates from our trip to Wichita, simple skillet dinners, and another restaurant review or two, all to come in the next day or so.

Happy Friday!
I'll more than likely be on a blogging hiatus this weekend...it's a fun-filled one, packed with a trip home, BBQ, football and a couples shower for my brother and his lovely wife-to-be. My parents might also be breaking out the margarita machine for our Saturday poolside festivities. Full recap on Monday!
Have a wonderful weekend!
