Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 29 – May 5

I had a wonderful time in Philadelphia at the NCTM Annual Conference! It was fun to learn some new things, explore a new city, eat some great food, and escape from “life” for a few days. However, I am so happy to be back! I am ready to get back in my kitchen…

Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 22 – Apr 28

This week’s menu plan is, well, almost non-existent! I am going to be traveling for a conference which lasts most of the week, and thus we are eating out for pretty much the entire time. We will be finishing up some leftovers at the beginning of this week, but that’s about it! Do…

Crunchy Romaine Salad

We have a wonderful church home. Every so often, they have what we all call “Family Dinner” on Wednesday nights. One of our favorite things about family dinner nights is the salad. I think if it were publicly acceptable, I would take the entire plate of salad that’s meant for the table of…

Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 15 – Apr 21

Last week was a blur! It passed by so quickly that I didn’t get a chance to put up a new recipe post. I didn’t make the Swiss steak, as I was able to get a free pizza code from a national chain. And, we didn’t get to do steaks on the grill…

Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 8 – Apr 14

I tried two new recipes last week, and both seemed to be keepers! Of course, I had to put my own little spin on them, and alter them to our family’s tastes. I will probably make both of them again in the future. Speaking of your “family’s tastes”, do you frequently tweak recipes…

Looking for a way to mix up your regular cereal treats? There are so many possibilities for cereal treats, such as one of my favorites, peanut butter! I found this recipe for a twist on these traditional treats on Pinterest, and thought it looked like a way to make them even more exciting…

Weekly Menu Plan, Apr 1 – Apr 7

Last week, I tried two recipes that were new to us. One (Chili Cheese Dog Casserole) I think I will make again with some adjustments, and the other (Easy Garlic Chicken) needed a total overhaul in our opinion, so I won’t be making it again. Since the casserole didn’t quite hit the “chili…

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tostadas

I love finding recipes that are simple to put together and taste great. I recently tried this Slow-Cooker Chicken Tostada recipe as part of a menu plan, and since my family loved it, I will be making it time and time again! I can see a lot of possibilities with this recipe, and…

Weekly Menu Plan, Mar 25 – Mar 31

It’s going to be another busy week! Lately, chicken has been on sale around these parts, so we are having several chicken dishes. I roasted a few large chicken breasts over the weekend. I split them up into portions to freeze (about 1 lb each) that I can thaw in the future to…

Simple Blackberry Crisp

I should start this post by saying that my husband would like to name this dish, “Mouthwatering Blackberry Crisp”. He says that the smell of it baking in the oven makes your mouth water, and I have to admit that I agree! But, as you know, around here I like to keep things…
