Good Shepherd's Garden Party ~ Week 3

As I mentioned before, our week has been a difficult one due to some little illnesses here and there. This is why I am so thankful to Jessica for working with me to come up with these once a week plans because I know that if we were still doing a daily activity, this week would have been a total bust!

I did make one last minute change to make this week's menu plans work better for us. I wish I had thought of it sooner to let you know about it, but alas, my brain is slow these days.

Back when we were looking for ideas and I came across the recipe for Tuoni e Lampi (Thunder and Lightning) it sounded fun to say and looked simple enough to prepare (which Jessica confirmed). But I completely forgot that chickpeas are the same thing as garbanzo beans which my husband can't eat. Ugh! Since it's a recipe I haven't tried before, I didn't want to ruin it by substituting a different bean. So here is what our Week 3 Garden Party looked like instead:

We had...

Sun Pizza

He didn't look that menacing before baking!

Rainbow Kabobs

with Whipped Creamy Clouds

Hail

Your hail might not get this big, but ours sure does!

Rain with Lightning Straws

We used light blue Gatorade.

and Windy Cupcakes

Can't wait to see all of the creative interpretations of this week's symbols over at Catholic Cuisine on Monday!
