Monday Funday!?

"Does someone have a case of the Mondays?"  This is the last day the DH is off from work, & my usual day off. I got some energy from -I don't know where -and vacuumed the upstairs along with pulling old clothes out of my closet to either 1.  Send to consignment or 2.  Donate to the Mission. Topping on the cake was the girls played nicely in Peanuts room. 
Later I got to go to the gym, grocery shopping and to target without little ones in tow - heavenly!
When I got home Peanut helped make dinner. I found two recipes in the recent Taste of Home - tonight it's the Chicken & Broccoli Casserole, with some changes like I added onion and dollop of sour cream.  (I even remembered to bring the recipe to the store).  I have to say I was a little nervous about this. She likes broccoli but I wasn't sure about the onion or the stuffing mix on top.  I was thinking if she helped make it, then she more likely will eat it - yes, no, maybe?
Here she is placing one by one the broccoli I diced up
Here she is eating the broccoli
Here she is eating the cheese. 
Everytime I added an ingredient she told me which ones she doesn't like - onion, butter, stuffing. I told that it would taste good all together, to which she replied "I'm just telling you"
Color me shocked! She ate it all!
Here is the rest of the weeks menu...
The beef enchiladas is the second recipe from the magazine. 
I started this a couple of months ago. And although I'm not very good at doing this every week - it's very helpful. DH often gets home before I do on my work days, when it's not obvious what's for dinner, he simply pulls out a frozen pizza. Not good. So this helps him at least get things started and I pick up when I get home. 
All went well for a Monday....I would even call it a Funday!
