Chicken and Mushrooms in Garlic White Wine Sauce + Weekly Menu

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and I must admit, I love the holiday. I love all the cheesy, ooey, gooey love stuff and just as it should every day, it makes me grateful for a loving husband and the beautiful life we have. It also helps that I have 2 adorable little girls out of the deal and an upcoming trip to Maui that I anticipate will be a trip of a lifetime.

But seriously, I love…feeling loved and loving on others. Last week, flowers were delivered to work on Wednesday and as they were handed over to me, I was in shock! 🙂

Mark and I do a really good job of carving out 1:1 time alone — away from the house and away from our littles. We go out just about every week and babysitter costs are factored into our budget. We make it a priority and nearly always, we go out on Saturday nights. It’s just for dinner, but it’s our time.

This week we went out on Friday night instead and I kind of preferred it. Saturday helps break-up the weekend some, but Fridays leave Saturdays WIDE OPEN. I appreciated having a day where my only to-do was to watch basketball after the kids went to bed. Don’t we all need more days like that?

I also got on the whole meal planning thing and we got the grocery shopping done. My highlight was La Croix being on sale – $2.88 a case! We filled my hatchback – ha! I alternated between kid-friendly and recipes Mark and I would love for this week. Watch, they’ll probably devour the Mixed Seafood Soup. Time will tell…

A recipe they also devoured? This one. Noodles, mushrooms, chicken, and a basic white wine sauce that anyone would love. It’s ready in minutes and pairs perfectly with just about any vegetable or a salad to round out the meal. And…it’s just swanky enough to whip up for your sweetie this Valentine’s Day. You’ll want this one on repeat, no doubt!
