I love couponing and a lot of times my weekly menu for our dinners is directly related to items I was able to find on …

Easy lunch that will keep all week in the fridge!
I read this article on thedailymuse.com and I was just shocked that I hadn’t discovered this great way to make a lunch (Link to article below).
I’ve tried almost all the recipes, but my favorite remains to be the Caprese Pasta Salad. Mine is pictured below.
Caprese Pasta Salad Ingredients (as per article)
- 2 tbsp basil pesto (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 ½ oz fresh mozzarella, chopped into bite sized pieces
- 2 oz cooked penne pasta
- ½ cup fresh spinach leaves
- ½ cup fresh basil, chopped
My reason for sharing is simply how easy to prep these are. I prepared these on Sunday and here I am eating it at work for lunch on Friday – tastes great every day of the week. It’s filling, but also tastes so fresh and healthy.

Steak, alfredo penne with broccoli and roasted asparagus
I’m blessed to have a husband that enjoys grilling – and does a great job as well. Below are photos of the skirt steak (or churrasco in Spanish) Ruben prepared tonight. The meat was marinated for several hours and the end result was really tasty.
Here are a couple of garlic flavored Texas toast served alongside the roasted asparagus (below). A long time ago, we got my daughter to try these by telling her they just tasted like “green” French fries. She still really loves them.
Mmm… here’s what it all looked like right before we ate. It was very good.
