My friend Melanie, from Melanie Makes has been chosen as one of the finalists in the Better Homes and Gardens Blogger Awards.  It would be fantastic if you would go and cast a vote for her in the Family/Everyday Eats category.  Melanie’s recipes have shown up quite a few times in my How Fun! menus.

I found out what cookie brittle was from Alison at  Nancherrow.  Oh my goodness!  My jeans did not need this recipe!  (Psst!  She has a Friday link-up party, too.)

You wouldn’t know it from the few months that I’ve been writing this blog, but most of the time I eat a fairly low-carb or Paleo-type of diet.  LINDA’S LOW CARB MENUS & RECIPES site is without a doubt my favorite low-carb recipe site on the internet.  I return to it over and over again.  Even if you aren’t low carbing, give her taco seasoning a try.

What we are eating next week:

• Saturday Cabbage rolls, mashed potatoes
  
• Sunday  Homemade chicken noodle soup

• Tuesday Crockpot BBQ Pork Spare Ribs, cooked carrots.  I found this through my friend Dawn at Reveal Natural Health.  Dawn also does a weekly menu that is chock full of great recipes.
  
• Wednesday Pizza
• Thursday Leftovers
  
• Friday  Chili
  

Baking this weekend: Cinnamon Rolls from Pebbles and Piggytails.  This is a new recipe that I’ve never tried before but am looking forward to trying!  Who doesn’t love a good cinnamon roll?

Have a great weekend! Remember Philippians 4:8. “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
