Last week, we tried the pasta dish but not the pork chops. We thought the pasta was pretty good. I made it with half milk and half half-and-half, though, since I thought straight cream was a little more richness than we needed! The sauce was a little on the dry side (and so…

Weekly Menu Plan, Mar 20 – Mar 26
I skipped posting a menu plan last week because we spent half of the week at my folks’ house for Spring Break. It was great to relax and not worry too much about cooking. I did help out in the kitchen and made a few things while I was there, including strawberry shortcake…
Weekly Menu Plan, Mar 6 – Mar 12
It’s my son’s 7th birthday this week… So hard to believe, as these 7 years have flown by. Every day I am amazed at the person he is becoming. And, no big surprise to me, he picked his favorite “meatballs, gravy, & noodles” as his birthday dinner đ Dinners Brats on the grill,…
Weekly Menu Plan, Feb 28 – Mar 5
I started working on a menu plan last week, and then just totally abandoned posting it for you all. So for a quick review, I tried to make something new (a breakfast quinoa dish, and not for dinner, but for breakfast) but it was not very good and I gave most of it…
Weekly Menu Plan, Feb 14 – Feb 20
Thankfully, this week will be much much slower than last week. The exciting news from last week is that we won the chili cookoff for the second year in a row, and we couldn’t believe it! But, we made it through the many engagements that were pretty much every single night. Dinners BLTs,…

Weekly Menu Plan, Jan 31 – Feb 6
It’s February already! Supposedly the groundhog did not see his shadow, so we are in for an early spring. It’s spring-like here, today, with temperatures in the 50s and strong wind, but I know that other parts of the country are experiencing blizzards! I think I read somewhere that the groundhog’s predictions are…
Weekly Menu Plan, Jan 24 – Jan 30
Hello again, everyone! I hope your week last week went well. It’s difficult when the weather is yucky to get excited about leaving the house and doing anything other than eating soup and snuggling under warm blankets, and we had a week just like that last week. Thankfully, the weather looks to be…
Weekly Menu Plan, Jan 18 – Jan 23
We did not get to the lemon chicken or the mushroom pasta dishes last week. I don’t think I’ll have time to make the chicken dish, but I’ve got to use the mushrooms before they spoil, so I’ll make that early this week. The weather is looking to be up and down as…
Weekly Menu Plan, Jan 10 – Jan 16
We are back in the swing of things. Normal school and work schedules have resumed, and it is nice to get back into a routine. For last week’s menu plan, we were able to try the tortellini soup, and it was definitely a hit! This week, my son requested that we make Shepherd’s…
