Dinner Menu Week Ten

I’m such a sucker for “themed” food. St. Patrick’s Day isn’t exactly the lightest of fares, but it sure is delicious. It’s also right up our one year old’s alley, being a meat and potatoes kinda guy, so I’m sure he’ll be extra pleased this week. As much as I love the St. Patty’s Day food, my fave this week is actually the Balsamic Roasted Chicken and Veggies… it’s ridiculously easy but looks and tastes like you spent a lot of time on it.

I am working on building you all recipes, slowly but surely. In the meantime be sure to ask any specific questions in the comments!
