My Menu

It is that time again for me to plan my menu, I actually have 2 weeks planned out, however this week is subject to change as well.  My best friend from high school and her 2 year old (completely adorable Ethan) are flying out this week to come and visit.  She is either coming Tuesday or Wednesday and than her husband is joining us on Friday night for the weekend.  So I want to see what she feels like eating before I set this menu in stone.  However I know she is not a picky eater and I am pretty sure the only thing she won't eat is Seafood (I consider that a sin, but I guess not everyone likes seafood as much as I do!)

Last week my Aunt and Cousin came and we had a great time, it was sad to see them go!  We ended up eating out at Chapala's on Thursday night (our favorite Mexican joint) and than on Friday we BBQ some Tilapia and Saturday we BBQ some chicken wings and steak.  I of course was so wrapped up in conversations that I didn't take any pictures, so I am hoping my cousin got some good ones and will send them to me! 

Anyways, here is my menu

Sunday: BBQ day---Chorizo's, baked beans and pasta salad

Monday: BBQ Pork Chops, rice and corn

Tuesday: Chicken Parmesan, noodles, salad and garlic bread

Wednesday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME--yup, turning 35, how crazy is that, I am not sure what I want so I am going to wait and see what I feel like eating on this day.

Thursday: BLT's, fries, and macaroni salad

Friday: BBQ Cheeseburgers, tator tots, leftover macaroni salad

Saturday: Chicken Kabobs? Or Appetizers?  Depends on the weather!

That is it for another week of my menu.  I am planning on getting an update on the girls since they just turned 21 months old, I can't believe that they are going to be 2 in three months!  Crazy how fast time goes by!!  Have a great week!

My Menu

I am in a funk with my menu this week. Last week I was spoiled enough where I didn't have to cook everyday that I am now in this rut and don't know what to make. I did make it to the grocery store and now I have to get it into gear and make up my monthly menu. This week my Aunt and Cousin are flying in on Thursday for the weekend so for right now the meals for those days are up in the air as I don't know what we are going to be doing the whole time they are here. So hopefully this doesn't continue my meal planning rut. I figured I could get the whole month planned out so that won't be the case next week!

Sunday: BBQ Baby back ribs, baked potatoes and salad

Monday: Meatloaf, Au gratin potatoes, corn and rolls

Tuesday: Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry, rice, and egg rolls

Wednesday: Spaghetti, garlic bread and salad

Thursday: ??

Friday: ??

Saturday: ??

Nothing new this week so far, but the last three days are still up in the air so we will see. Just to let you all know as well these cheeseburger wraps I made two weeks ago were wonderful! I suggest you try them, they were easy and delicious!

My Menu

It is that time again, I don't really have anything exciting planned for my menu this week. I am just not feeling adventurous enough to go all out and try something new. Plus my sister in law Jamie, brother in law Dan, and my niece Maggie, are here from Everett visiting so I am not sure what all the plans are for meals etc. until I get a chance to chat with them about it and to see if they want anything in particular (well my brother in law is flying back Tuesday morning, so really it depends on what my sister in law would like :))

Sunday: Easter dinner out at the Canale Ranch! They made Ham, Cheesy Potatoes, Broccoli, Turkey and gravy, and rolls. It was delicious and I didn't have to cook!

Monday: BBQ at Tyson's Uncle Bobby's and Aunt Donna's house. Hot Dogs, Chicken and Hamburgers on the grill. Double yea for me cause again I don't have to cook!

Tuesday: It is going to be 80 degrees, so I figured BBQ. Either Chicken Legs or Kielbasa, I will see what that plan is after I talk with Jamie about it.

Wednesday: I was thinking Taco's, maybe Meatloaf...not sure yet.

Thursday: Either Chicken Legs or Kielbasa, depending on what we do on Tuesday.

Friday: Order out night, either pizza or I will pick up some fried chicken with salads

Saturday: Appetizer night. Chicken Wings--hot and teriyaki, potato skins and steak bites (yum, I am already drooling)

This is not my normal menu, I am going grocery shopping this weekend as well and I have no plan for meals. I am just not feeling motivated enough at this moment to plan, so I hope I get motivated soon. Plus the weather makes a huge difference in if I want to heat up the house with the oven or use the BBQ. I am off to find some motivation! Have a great week!!!

My Menu

Here is to another week, again the weather is not looking that great, but I am hoping that will change. I really want to get to my BBQ! Last week we didn't make too many new recipes, but I did make Chicken Ranch Taco's and they were delicious, actually, they were even better the next day! I highly recommend anyone to make them, you won't be sorry! Here is my menu:

Sunday: Chicken Kabobs, roasted potatoes, and corn (this was planned for Saturday when it was 73 degrees, but Tyson ended up getting invited to go play pool, so he had a boys night out)

Monday: HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US! 7 YEARS!! Beer Marinated Grilled Chicken, noodles and green beans (not a fancy meal, but we will be making ourselves a special meal on Saturday, after the kids are in bed)

Tuesday: Rigatoni w/ spaghetti sauce, olive garden bread sticks (I didn't make them last week), and salad

Wednesday: Beer Can Chicken, twice baked potatoes, and corn

Thursday: Homemade Sloppy Joe's (From PW, I have made them before and they are delicious), tator tots and salad

Friday: Cheeseburger Wraps (new recipe and I am excited to try this), homemade fries and pasta salad

Saturday: Beef Filet, caramelized mushrooms and onions and garlic and butter shrimp

I am going to try to post a new recipe once a week, including pictures. I figured I will post our FAVORITE from that week so you all can see how it turned out. So stay tuned.....
