Weekly Menu Plan, Nov 10 – Nov 16

I am looking forward to having a day off this week. I feel like I’ve constantly been on the run for awhile, so it will be fun to stay at home, help with my son’s fall party, and hopefully just enjoy my family! I did not get to the only new recipe that…

Weekly Menu Plan, Nov 3 – Nov 9

Somehow, I managed to cook 1 meal on my menu plan last week… We had so many leftovers from work events (and from meals that I made) that we had more than enough food for the week.  And, we made great progress on finishing up our basement demolition project (that started because of…

Weekly Menu Plan, Oct 27 – Nov 2

Last week‘s new recipes were pretty good.  I didn’t get to the Mexican lasagna, as we ended up with more than enough leftovers that we didn’t eat for lunches, so I’m going to try to get to it this week.  Plus, my husband decided to surprise me by making dinner one night!  So,…

Weekly Menu Plan, Oct 20 – Oct 26

What a beautiful weekend we’ve had!  The crisp fall air and sunshine were just what I needed.  It is so great to be able to spend time outdoors enjoying our family. I didn’t stick to our menu plan 100 % last week because my son begged me to make “meatballs, gravy, and noodles”…

Weekly Menu Plan, Oct 13 – Oct 19

Last week, we liked the Chicken Enchilada Casserole even though I left out the cream cheese and altered a few other things.  I also made the macaroni and cheese with white cheddar, and it was so yummy like that!  Only one new recipe again this week, and we’ll probably just add the hot…

Weekly Menu Plan, Oct 6 – Oct 12

Did you notice the absence of a menu plan last week?  We had an abundance of food on hand, plus some family visiting, so we ended up making two meals: spaghetti and chicken tortilla soup.  I considered adding a post on Tuesday (when I finally had some time), but by then I realized…

Weekly Menu Plan, Sept 23 – Sept 28

Last week, I tried two new recipes.  The Mexican bake was pretty good, but I had to “doctor-up” the chicken dish quite a bit because it just didn’t have much flavor.  We were also blessed with a visit from my parents, who brought us some of my dad’s barbeque!  No new recipes this…

Weekly Menu Plan, Sept 15 – Sept 21

This past weekend was full of wonderful weather!  I was so excited to finally turn off the air conditioner and open the windows.  I also canned a whole bunch of crushed tomatoes (9 quarts total!) so I made a batch of monster cookies to celebrate 🙂 I am going to start the week…

Weekly Menu Plan, Sept 8 – Sept 14

I survived!  The last two weeks have been really busy and stressful, and I made it.  I did some serious “food therapy” sessions this weekend, canning and freezing things from our garden.  Some people paint, others meditate… I cook.  And bake.  And can. 😉 It’s an “eat from the pantry/freezer week” here, as…
