If you're looking for a winning recipe for your holiday cookie swaps, then scroll through this round-up  of 60 Ultimate Cookie Exchange Recipes on Taste As You Go!   Do you ever get That Feeling in your gut when you realize that what once brought you happiness now fills you with dread? You know the one... It's That Same Feeling that causes you to ask yourself repeatedly " Why am I doing this again?" I've been trying to battle that super persistent feeling for the past few weeks by giving myself little pep talks: "Don't give up now. You DO want to do this!"  "Don't you remember how much you used to love doing this? Just keep going!" " Do it one more time and you'll see -- everything will be fine. You'll feel much better once you get it over with." But no matter how many times I tried to get excited about it, I found a reason to avoid doing it. (Thank you, Caroline.)

Menu Plan: June 30 - July 5

Sharing our Menu Plan for June 30 - July 5, 2014

Sunday Waffles with Strawberries | Taste As You Go
Sunday Waffles with Strawberries

This week's Menu Plan is coming to you guys a little late. Stephen and I were up in Connecticut over the weekend visiting my family, and by the time we got home from our trip last night, I was too tired to do much more than flop in front of the television with some pizza and a nice, cold beer. But now it's Monday and it's back to business as usual.

Ready to see what's on deck for dinner for us this week?

Menu Plan: June 30 - July 5, 2014

Monday: Pasta with Sauteed Broccoli and Mushrooms

The broccoli and mushrooms were supposed to go on top of last Friday's pizza, but we opted to eat out instead. We couldn't bear the thought of turning on the oven and heating up the kitchen.

Tuesday: French Basil Chicken with White Rice

This dish first appeared on our Menu Plan the week of June 8th. Rather than adapt the recipe to feed two people, I made the full recipe and froze half of it. We'll be enjoying the frozen portion this week. After I thaw it out and heat it up, of course.

Wednesday: Stephen's Choice

Thursday: Dinner at Burgers and More by Emeril

I've been invited to dine at Burgers and More by Emeril to try out some of the items on their menu. To maximize the opportunity, Stephen will be coming with me. Look for my review of the restaurant soon!

Friday: Fourth of July

Since we're still finalizing our plans for July 4th, I didn't plan a specific meal. Truth be told, I'm hoping we just phone it in by grilling up some hamburgers and hot dogs. (What better dinner on July 4th, right?) Maybe I'll even make up some more potato salad to bring it all together.

Saturday: Falafel Salad with Chopped Romaine, Tomatoes, and Cucumbers
