Chicken cutlets lightly breaded and seared to a golden brown served in a bright, lemony, butter sauce. This delicious dinner is ready in only half an hour, making it perfect for a quick dinner before we had to run out to choir practice, last night.
We normally have choir on Wednesday nights but this week it was changed to last night. On Sunday we are going to celebrate our sister-in-law, Rebecca's birthday with a bowling/pizza party. Monday night I am taking a pottery class and choir practice returns to Wednesday.
Other than that the week is pretty quiet during the evenings. The days are filled with exercise classes and hikes. What are your plans this week?
