Over the weekend we drove home from St. George. We sat in a bar and ate snacks while watching tennis on TV on Saturday night for dinner. On Sunday, after our arrival home, the kids and grandkids came over and we had steak and shrimp fajitas, grilled corn and caprese salad. I wish I had taken pictures of Sunday’s dinner. It was so good.

But Monday rolled around and if weekends are for relaxing one’s standards a bit, Monday is for getting back on track. This was a typical Chicken Monday – pan-roasted chicken with chicken/mushroom gravy, rutabagas and Brussels sprouts. I added some onions and garlic to the sprouts to stretch them out and also added a couple of small potatoes to the rutabaga mash. There just were not many good looking rutabagas or Brussels sprouts in the store this week.
