Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 27 – May 3

We tried one new recipe last week, and it was decent. The wraps were even better with avocados!  I definitely recommend the addition of avocados if you have them!  My kids talked me into “meatballs, gravy, and noodles” instead of pretzel dogs, so I need to get to those soon.  This week is…

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Pie

It’s pretty hard to top the combination of peanut butter and chocolate in my book.  This Peanut Butter & Chocolate Pie is so rich and delicious, and it is a great dessert to serve to guests.  There’s a thin pure chocolate layer topped with a creamy peanut butter filling, and to top it…

Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 20 – Apr 26

What a whirlwind week last week!  My husband was traveling for work, and we hosted our families for both a celebration of my daughter’s third birthday and Easter.  It was a busy week and weekend, but we made it 🙂 Of the new recipes, we liked the fries (even though I over-baked them…

Homemade Pizza Sauce

Homemade pizza sauce is easier to make than I thought!  One time, I was out of it with no time to go to the store, so I grabbed some tomato sauce and started experimenting.  I must say that this sauce is so much more flavorful than the sauce you buy in a store. …

Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 13 – Apr 19

This past week, we tried all of the new recipes that I had on our menu plan.  We thought they were all OK, but none of them were so outstanding that we wanted to have them again soon.  I much prefer simply sauteeing asparagus rather than the boiling and baking that the new…

Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 6 – Apr 12

I’ve been doing pretty well lately with making the new recipes that I want to try.  However, last week I did not make two of them.  We did make the tilapia, and my son raved about it!  He mentioned several times during the meal that, “we should have tilapia more often” 😉  Unfortunately,…

Simple Teriyaki Chicken

Simple Teriyaki Chicken is so easy and quick, it’s barely even a recipe!  However, I wanted to share this super simple way to prepare chicken with you all.  We love to eat it over rice, but it would also be excellent on a salad or even in sushi!  The chicken cooks in less…

Weekly Menu Plan, Mar 30 – Apr 5

I was able to make both of the new recipes for us last week. We really enjoyed the Korean BBQ recipe, and the chicken was OK (I used honey instead in case you were wondering 😉 ).  I will probably double the Korean BBQ recipe the next time I make it so that…

Chicken Stir Fry

Whenever I find myself with an excess of vegetables on hand, I like to make Chicken Stir Fry.  It’s simple, and I almost always have the rest of the ingredients on hand.  When served over rice, it is a complete meal that is quick enough for a weeknight meal.
