Weekly Goals: February 7-13

We got a big snowstorm on Tuesday, and the boys are (for now) always willing to go help shovel.

Last Week's Goals:

• Test at least one recipe for the new book.  I made Peanut Butter Chocolate Banana for the first time (pictured below), and they were really good, but not quite peanut butter-y enough.  
• Do the February church newsletter. Done!
• Meal plan for the beginning of February, including our annual Superbowl appetizer dinner. Done!  This year we're having a taco bar, pinwheels, jalapeno poppers, and chocolate cupcakes.

This Week's Goals:

• Re-test a few of the muffin recipes I've come up with, including the lemon blueberry and the cinnamon banana bread.
• Finish reading Garbage Land.
• Figure out an Iron Craft project for this week's challenge, the letter G.
