Notes and A Quiche Recipe

I'll be stealing some time in the kitchen to make this yummy dinner tomorrow night.

If you want to see my menu plan for the week, I posted it on my other blog here.

On the Cooking During Stolen Moments blog plan for this week, I'll be posting a full game plan that includes Chicken Parmesan fingers and garlic spaghetti. I'll also be posting some more recipes that I'll be making throughout the week. And I will do a few posts on time management in the kitchen and how I stick to our $350 grocery budget. If you have any questions, recipe or full game plan requests, please let me know and I'll answer those this week too.
