this week is all about carbo loading i made a last minute decision to join a team of racers running the southern california ragnar relay. seriously though, what am i thinking? running back-to-back 200 mile races? let’s just say there will be lots of carbs, lots of ice & lots of advil involved. with that… here’s my carbo-heavy menu plan.
* monday: lasagna
* tuesday: mexican chicken & rice soup
* wednesday: chili
* thursday: mediterranean pasta
* friday: the kids & hubby are gonna have to fend for themselves, seeing as i’ll be a wee bit busy.
next i’m hoping to whip up some tikka masala. anyone have a fabulous recipe they’d love to share? & as always, please share your own menus & if you have any brilliant pasta recipes, share those too! with so many races coming up, i see a lot of pasta in our future!

Those races are so much fun! You will have a blast! I would love for you to share another of your awesome playlists, as I am starting to run again after having baby #4. Thanks for sharing; I really enjoy your blog
ps I found you via the Bryans whom I knew in SF.
Mmmmm…carbs are so good. This is the best pasta recipe I’ve ever found – give it a try. It’s really easy and delicious:

Well, all my meal menu always involving carbs. Only carbs that made my stomach believe I have a decent meal. In turn, I have to gave extra miles jog. That’s should do it. Great menu by the way. Loves it

Hi Kelly,
I saw you on KTLA yesterday morning explaining the taga bike/stroller. I loved it! My husband and I have been thinking of getting something like this for our 12 month old daughter. We want to start including her in some family activities. : )
Love your blog and Menu Monday Mania! I am still a young bride (2 years+a couple months) and a new mom…in desperate need of menu’s every week. Thanks for your ideas! I’ll keep checking!

I can’t believe I missed your comment. Have you checked out the TAGA yet? we seriously love it. So fun. I assume you guys are local in Socal? Where abouts?
Hope you had mad fun at that race!! My hubby and I love to mix some Chicken w/Tandoori Paste throw it on the grill and add in some fat past noodles…YUM!!! Our little bumpkins even love it. Oh and of course some Edamamae in there too!!! Now I’m hungry
