Well, it’s 50 cups of coffee, and you know it’s on. I move the crowd to the break of break of dawn.

Not really. I don’t drink coffee, and I’m pretty sure I never have nor ever will move a crowd. But that’s the Beastie Boys lyric that runs through my head most frequently, and hey guess what?

Tuesday: Tacos

Or should I say tacos! My favorite!

Wednesday: Grilled chicken

Kalyn’s Kitchen has a great guide to grilling chicken that produces some mighty tasty poultry. I’m thinking about trying this BBQ Peanut Butter Chicken marinade. Poppy will eat grilled chicken about 70 percent of the time; I’m thinking the presence of peanut butter might boost the dish’s chances a bit. And if I don’t use the PB recipe, I might try this one for Southwestern Lime Chicken with Ancho Chili Sauce. It looks like it would make great — wait for it! — tacos.

Thursday: Spaghetti and meatballs

Poppy loves spaghetti, and Pete loves meatballs. And Rockford and I love both. So it’s a win-win-win-win situation!

Friday: Pizza

10. Thank-You-Mommy Day

This entire day. I got home from the gym to find flowers, balloons and a cake that said “We love you Mommy” on the table. Rockford had made me lunch, then he and the kids whisked me off to get a massage. And on top of all the pampering? The weather was gorgeous.
