We ate out a lot during the end of winter. Sometimes life is like that. And, really, it was nice to have a break from the kitchen.
WEEK 1
MONDAY - Vegetable tortilla stew (via Cravings). This has become a family staple - the kids all love it.
TUESDAY - Skirt steaks with chimichuri sauce and potatoes for Valentine's Day. Yum!

THURSDAY - Dinner at Cava with friends, Dan makes dinner for himself and the kids.
FRIDAY - Family dinner at Marble & Rye.
SATURDAY - Friends over - order pizza.
SUNDAY - Eat at the neighbor's BBQ.
