My Menu

It is that time again for my menu.  We didn't go camping this weekend as Tyson was on call and I didn't get to the grocery store this either as we had a pretty busy week.  I also didn't get to all my meals planned last week as we are helping my sister in law and brother in law out with their house here in Boise.  It is a rental house and their current tenant moved out and needless to say the yard needed a lot of TLC.  So Wednesday and Thursday night I met Tyson down there with the kids and we got to work.  So unfortunately those nights were fast food dinner nights. (which is a treat for the kids so they were happy).  We also worked there on Saturday and Tyson was there for a  few hours on Sunday.  He will be there most of this week after work and we will probably meet up with him one or two of the nights.  In which I will probably make sandwiches or something in the crock pot for dinner.  It all just depends on how it goes for him the next couple of nights.  There is not much I can do as he is just going to be painting the bedroom and I don't want the kids around wet paint so we will see.

Sunday: Fathers Day Dinner.  Steak, caramelized onions and mushrooms, baked potatoes

Monday: Crock Pot Chicken Wings (I had chicken wings out for Saturday night but we got home late so we didn't make them), homemade rice a roni (first time trying this recipe minus the chicken) and salad

Tuesday: Tator Tot Casserole, corn, and rolls

Wednesday: White Chicken Enchilada's (have made this before and it is delicious but I add extra stuff like peppers and mushrooms) salad and roasted potatoes

Thursday: Hot Dogs, molasses beans and green beans (random I know but it is suppose to be 97 degrees this day and I want something that won't heat up the house)

Friday: Chinese or Fried Chicken?

Saturday: We will probably BBQ, however our BBQ is acting up (yes another appliance on the brink of death so we will see what we come up with)

I have to get to the grocery store this weekend, there is no way around that.  I am really hoping Tyson can figure out what is going on with our BBQ as we use that so much during the summer and I really don't want to have to buy a new one.  It is working it is just taking forever to heat up so we are not sure what is happening.  Well I am off to go and tackle laundry!  Have a great week everyone!!!

My Menu

It's that time again for my menu.  This has been a rough last couple of weeks.  You know the saying when it rains, it pours.  Well it flooded in our house (not literally), but between Camas getting sick and having surgery, to our laptop going caput, and this past weekend we had to put our cat of 12 years down.  She was old, having a hard time getting around and was going to the bathroom everywhere.  Now she wasn't the nicest cat (well she was to me and to Tyson, but that was it) she was our first pet we got together and it was hard to make the decision to do this.  But it is the cycle of life and I knew it was going to happen at some point.  So, I am going to move forward and hope that things start to get better and hopefully things stop breaking!

Sunday: Teriyaki Chicken Legs, roasted potatoes and pasta salad (I tried this new recipe and it is delicious!)

Monday: Pork Chops, corn on the cob, and tomato cream noodles (this is new for me and of course from The Pioneer Woman)

Tuesday: Spaghetti, salad and garlic bread (Morgan has been requesting this meal all weekend, so I must oblige)

Wednesday: Crock Pot Honey Chicken ( I have tried this once and want to try it again as it didn't turn out like I expected), rice and green beans

Thursday: Penne Ala Betsy (another new recipe and from The Pioneer woman) salad and homemade bread sticks

Friday:  ??  I really, really want to go camping, but we are still discussing if Camas would be okay since she is still recovering.  If not maybe Chinese Takeout.

Saturday:  If we don't go camping then we will BBQ something.

I just noticed that there is a lot of pasta this week, but the girls LOVE pasta so I know that they will be eating good.  I am also excited because the salads we will have are going to have the lettuce and radishes from our garden!  I love summer time and having a garden it is nice to be able to go in  your back yard and pick out food to eat.  Have a great week!

My Menu

Well it is Monday again and I still don't have a menu planned so I am going to fly by the seat of my pants on this one and see what I can come up with.  The last few days have been really warm and now we are getting a cold front in so I am just not sure if it is going to stay that way or change back to warm.  So I decided that this menu is subject to change depending on weather.

Sunday: Spaghetti Batch in the Crock Pot (I didn't get to this last week)

Monday: Easy Cheesy Meat and Potatoes (we have made this a bunch and it is YUMMY), green beans and crescent rolls.

Tuesday: Chicken and Dumplings, salad and corn

Wednesday: Big Salad Night (a variety of toppings), soup and bread sticks

Thursday: BLT's, fries and pasta salad

Friday: Either OUT or Homemade Pizza on the grill

Saturday: Appetizers: Cheddar Beer Weenies (new recipe)  Potato Skins and Chicken Wings

I still have a few more posts that I want to blog about regarding Camas and the girls....I am hoping to get to those later this week, it has just been, busy, busy, busy with the girls!  Have a great week!!
