Menu plan 4-1-13: Pasta, bread, and more!


Passover ends on Tuesday night, and I can't wait.  Eating matzah and other holiday foods is fun for a little while, but by the end of the holiday, I can't wait to get back to eating bread again.

Here's this week's plan:

Monday - Still Passover: turkey soup with matzah balls, salad

Tuesday  - Passover is over! Pasta, pasta, and more pasta! and Caesar salad

Wednesday - Char Crust Salmon and Vegetables with bread

Thursday - 3 Can Veggie Chili over brown rice

Friday - baked chicken breasts, pasta with garlic and oil, salad

Saturday - grilled cheese with tomato soup

Sunday - dinner out!

See Menu Plan Monday for more menus!

Jamba Juice

All of my daughters wear glasses. (It's inherited - I'm blind without my contacts!) They often bend them out of shape, so we are regularly stopping by the store where we get them to fix their glasses.  The store does it for free - great customer service!

And right next to the glasses place is a Jamba Juice location. So they're always asking me if we can go in and get smoothies.

I mostly say no... but with this coupon, I just might say yes!

Join the Jamba Juice mailing list, and you'll receive an emailed coupon for a 16-ounce smoothie for only $2.00.

Le Savonnier Marseillais Organic Liquid Soap Review



Thanks so much to the makers of Le Savonnier Marseillais Organic Liquid Soap for providing me a free product for this review!

Don't you love the scent of lavender?  It's so heavenly.

What if you could have that scent throughout your home - and have a clean home, too?

That's one reason I was excited to give Le Savonnier Marseillais Organic Liquid Soap a try!

Le Savonnier Marseillais is a 100% natural olive oil soap.  It comes in three varieties: lavender, eucalyptus, and unscented. It's concentrated, so you get lots of value from the 1 liter bottle.  It can be used in a variety of ways:
  • It cleans household surfaces.
  • It can be used as a laundry detergent.
  • It can be used in the garden - dilute a small amount of soap with a gallon of water and spray your plants to repel insects.
  • It can be used to clean both the inside and outside of your vehicle.
  • It can clean surfaces before painting and remove paint stains.
  • And, it can even be used to clean your pets!
With all these uses, I was really excited to try it to see if it did what it claimed.

I first opened the bottle and smelled the lovely lavender scent.  I noticed that the soap was very thick - it's concentrated, so just use a little!  One thing that bothered me slightly was the color of the soap - an olive green.  Though I guess this makes sense, since it's made from olive oil.  Changing it to another color would require artificial ingredients - but this soap is all-natural.  So I guess I can get used to the color.

I first tried the organic liquid soap on my kitchen counters.  After a week of intensive Passover cooking, they were definitely in need of some cleaning.  I put a dab of soap on a rag, added water, and got to work.  The soap picked up lots of grime - I hadn't realized how dirty my counters were until I used this soap to clean them!  I guess other cleaners just weren't getting my counters as clean as Le Savonnier Marseillais did.

When I was done cleaning, I noticed how smooth the counters were.  The soap didn't leave a film or a gritty surface as other cleaners might.  Nice and smooth to the touch!  And of course, the whole kitchen smelled great due to the lavender scent!

I also gave Le Savonnier Marseillais a try on my children's laundry.  They get their clothes pretty dirty from food and outside play, and I was a little hesitant about using soap on the clothes instead of a detergent designed for laundry use. 

I turned on the water to the washer, let it fill a little, then put a few dollops of soap in the water and mixed it with a wooden spoon to be sure the soap was diluted.  Then, I added my children's clothes and ran the washer as usual.

And it worked great!  Nice, clean clothes.  Plus, the clothes (and the whole laundry room) smelled of lavender.  Lovely!

Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try some of the other uses of  Le Savonnier Marseillais Organic Liquid Soap, but I have no doubt that it would work well with your car, plants, or even your pets!

Want to try Le Savonnier Marseillais Organic Liquid Soap?  Visit their website to order your own bottle, and enjoy your clean, lavender-scented home!

(I received this product for free from Le Savionnier Marseillais.  All opinions are 100% mine. This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy for more information.)
