Weekly Menu Plan, Jan 25 – Feb 1

Are you surprised that I only made one of the new recipes from last week?  I’m starting to think maybe I should call these weekly menu “suggestions” 🙂 We weren’t feeling the soup, so I made shrimp lo mein instead.  We also ended up going out to eat for a friend’s 30th birthday,…

It has been a pretty nice weekend here.  Today was especially beautiful!  We were able to accomplish a few things outside, which is great for mid-January.  I was also able to whip up a few things to share with you all here in the near future! Last week’s menu included a few new…

Weekly Menu Plan, Jan 12 – Jan 18

Last week when I was at the grocery store, they had hams on a great discount (less that $0.70 a pound!), so I grabbed one and roasted it last week.  I used some of the leftovers to make 1.5 dozen ham & cheese pockets (in a method similar to bierocks) to eat and…

Firstly, Happy Birthday to my husband!!  This is going to be an amazing year– I can feel it 🙂 Every year just keeps getting better than the last. So, I didn’t get to the only new recipe that I was trying last week… I’m going to try to get to it soon, but…

Weekly Menu Plan, Dec 29 – Jan 4

We just had a wonderful week last week.  It was full of family, fun, and lots of delicious food.  I think I ate enough cookies to last me until at least February 😉  Instead of fried rice last week, I made these cannelloni instead, and they were really good.  I think I’ll make…

We are so excited to be hosting both sides of our family (pretty much back-to-back!) for this Christmas! It will be so great to have a few days off and do nothing but spend time with family.  I am also looking forward to eating lots of delicious Christmas treats, like caramel pretzel rods,…

Weekly Menu Plan, Dec 15 – Dec 21

What a whirlwind week!  The one new recipe that I wanted to try ended up getting shelved because of some late errand-running I had to do.  I’m going to try to get to it this week, because I think it sounds like something my kids would enjoy. I’m excited for the next few…

Brr!  It has been pretty cold here.  And I read that it’s been cold just about everywhere in the states, so I hope you are all staying warm!  I’m not being super adventurous in the kitchen this week.  Just trying and adapting a few recipes.  I am looking forward to making a few…

Weekly Menu Plan, Dec 1 – Dec 7

How was your Thanksgiving?  Ours was wonderful!  It was a great trip back to see my family.  And of course, there was a lot of good food!  I tried two new pie recipes that were keepers: pecan pie and French silk.  Now that we’re back home and settled, it’s time to get out…

Weekly Menu Plan, Nov 24 – Nov 30

I planned to make three new recipes last week, and I did.  But they weren’t the three I planned on 🙂  I made the soup and the chicken, but did not get to the sweet potato dish.  Instead, my husband asked for a beer cheese soup, which was pretty good.  I made a…
