Yesterday Rockford and I were in Atlanta for his cousin’s wedding. The day was all blue skies and light breezes, and the bride and groom radiated joy all afternoon. I love weddings in general — the happiness, the love, the excitement, the cake — and this was one of the loveliest I’ve had the honor of attending. It was a very small outdoor ceremony at JCT Kitchen, and the food was phenomenal. My favorites were the little fried crab-cake balls and the rolled pasta with a corn-marscapone filling. If you’re looking for an intimate wedding venue in Atlanta, I’d absolutely recommend JCT Kitchen. The setting is pretty and sophisticated, and the staff was wonderful.

I’d like to eat crab cakes and corn pasta all week long, but sadly that is not possible. Here’s what’s on our table this week!

Monday Breakfast for dinner

I decided to make tonight’s dinner as unfancy as possible, so as not to let myself down from the wedding high too easily. (That’s not true. I just couldn’t think of anything else when I was planning the week.)

Tuesday: Chicken Tikka Masala

We’re going to have a pretty busy Tuesday afternoon, and I’m trying to get back on the Weight Watchers train this week. So I search the Weight Watchers web site for slow cooker recipes, and this was one of the highest-ranked offerings in that category. It uses chicken thighs, which I’m not crazy about, but I’m hoping it’s good anyway.

Wednesday: Baked chicken strips and mac ‘n’ cheese

I think this was supposed to be Pete’s week to pick the Kids’ Choice meal, but I didn’t remember that until just now. So it’s Poppy’s Cheesy Choice two weeks in a row! She wanted to have just mac and cheese, but I thought a protein might be a good idea.

Thursday: Pizza

We’re going to the fair on Thursday after Rockford gets off work, so we’re switching it up and going for pizza on Thursday instead of Friday. We’re a wild bunch.

Friday: Tacos

The last time I made tacos, my DIY seasoning was almost unbearably fiery. The flavor was great, though. I’m determined to make The Perfect Taco Seasoning.
