My Menu

I didn't post a menu last week mostly because I was in EXTREME pain from my root canal I had gotten the week prior.  Turned out I got an infection in the bone around where the root canal took place as well as the roof of my mouth.  It was all located on the front right side of my mouth and needless to say I couldn't eat very much and to think of a menu for a week was just too much.  So we just played it by what sounded good to me and what was soft enough for me to eat.  Now that I have had a round of antibiotics I am doing so much better and can now bite, chew, eat, etc.  Here is my menu for the week.

Sunday: Chicken Kabobs, roasted potatoes

Monday: Brauts, Macaroni Salad, and baked beans

Tuesday: BBQ Pork Chops, rice and corn

Wednesday: Sloppy Joe's and fries

Thursday: Ranch Style Chicken (from The Pioneer Woman), twice baked potatoes and green beans

Friday: Spaghetti Batch in the crock pot, salad, and garlic bread

Saturday: BBQ Chicken Legs (another pioneer woman recipe) corn on the cob, and potato salad.

Our weather is finally warming up so I plan on doing A LOT  of cooking on the grill, it is just so nice to have a change of pace around dinner time.  The girls get to play outside while Tyson and I can catch up from the day and cook.  We did have a pretty eventful weekend this past weekend that required Camas to have emergency surgery, but that is a post I will do later today!  Have a great week!!

Flashback Friday

Wow, I can't believe that they were all so "small" looking a year ago.  Also I can't believe how long Morgan's hair was and how short Cameryn and Jaidyns hair is!

My Menu

As I sit here and type this, I don't have my menu planned for this week.  We have a busy week and it is going to be warm out so I am trying to think of some good BBQ recipes that we can make.  I also have to get to the grocery store and I just don't think that is going to happen.  Cameryn has her Orthopedic follow up today at 3 to see how her walking is going.  I think she is doing a lot better but her toes still turn inwards when she walks so we will see what he has to say about that.  I have to get a root canal on Wednesday morning and I am so not looking forward to that, and than the girls have their speech therapy on Thursday.  I also have a ton of errands to run and I don't know if I am going to have the patience to take all 3 girls to a major grocery shopping trip so I am trying to see if I can get by this week so I can go this weekend.  However on Saturday I get to get pampered, our Aunt Donna got me a mani/pedi and hair cut/color for me for Mothers Day and our cousin Cassy (she is in school for this) gets to do it!  So again, my Saturday is busy as well.  So we will so how it goes.

Sunday: Mushroom and Swiss Sliders (we didn't have these on Saturday) and roasted potatoes

Monday: Chicken Fajitas and tator tots

Tuesday: Rigatoni w/ sausage links, and garlic bread

Wednesday: Grilled Tilapia, rice and corn

Thursday: Braut Burgers, baked beans, and pasta salad

Friday: Pizza Night

Saturday: ??  depends if I get to the store or not.

I could really use a lot more "time" this week as it seems to be such a hectic week I still have a ton of laundry to do, I have to make my menu for the coming month so I can make sure I get everything at the grocery store, I have to pay some bills, clean the house, the girls need baths, I need to defrost our freezer in the garage, it is an endless list.  I am off to go and tackle some of this!  Have a great week everyone!!!

My Menu

We are back to a normal week this week.  After having my aunt and cousin come to Boise to visit and than a few days later my friend from high school for a week, and than me preparing for my Boise mom of multiples garage sale it has been a few hectic weeks.  It is a bit bittersweet to be getting back to our "routine" as I enjoyed every minute of the company I had since I am alone most of the time during the day with the kids!  Here is my menu for the week, it looks like we are going to finally have some warmer weather than what we have been having!  Yay for that because I love to cook on the BBQ!  Here is my menu for the week:

Sunday: BBQ Baby back ribs, corn on the cob (our first of the season and it was delicious!) and Crash Hot Potatoes (from The Pioneer woman, and they were to die for!)

Monday:  Angel Chicken (new recipe), noodles, garlic bread and mixed veggies

Tuesday:  BBQ Pork Chops, rice and green beans

Wednesday:  Beer Can Chicken, crash hot potatoes (yes they were that good) and salad

Thursday:  Kielbasa, noodles, and corn

Friday:  BLT's, fries and pasta salad

Saturday:  Appetizers, Mushroom and Swiss Sliders (another pioneer woman recipe)  Chicken Wings, and Shrimp quesadilla's (yup another PW recipe--what can I say, she is a good cook!)

As you can see I am a little obsessed with The Pioneer Woman recipes, First of all, I got her cookbook as my birthday present and it has some recipes in there that are not on her web page.  Second of all, all the things of hers that we have cooked (which is a lot) we have not found ONE thing we didn't like.  The husband told me last night after making her Crash Hot Potatoes that I need to just cook from her recipes and nothing from Pinterest (we have had some flops from there).  Have a great week!

My Menu

I didn't post a menu this week because my friend Lee and her son Ethan were here for part of the week.  I do have a menu plan for this week but since it is Thursday, I am not going to bother posting it.  Stay tuned for next week as I will be posting that menu :).  Have a great week everyone!!
