My Menu

I finally made it to the grocery store and to Costco this weekend!  So now I have endless possibilities for dinner, which makes me happy!!!  Although I am not doing anything "crazy" this week, it is just nice to have all the options.

Sunday:  Steak, baked potatoes, caramelized onions and mushrooms and corn on the cob

Monday:  Spaghetti (I had to do a big batch for the freezer), garlic bread and salad

Tuesday:  Pork Chops, rice and asparagus

Wednesday:  Salisbury Steak (I am trying PW's), mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls and green beans

Thursday:  Super Sonic Breakfast Burritos (another PW recipe), homemade hash browns and bacon

Friday:  Appetizers:  (we didn't have this last weekend), Jalapeno Poppers, wings, and potato skins

Saturday:  Not sure yet what we are going to have.  Our friends, Lee, Jeremy and their adorable son Ethan might be coming to visit!

I know I have said this before, but I am really wanting a few "cool" days so I can make some good comfort food in the crock pot!  I have a ton of ideas that I want to start trying and I would prefer for it to be cooler than what it is now!  If Lee, Jeremy and Ethan are able to fly in on Saturday than I am going to have a fun week ahead for me and I will get a TON of girl time!  Have a great week.

My Menu

Apparently I needed more coffee when I posted this as I just noticed I left out Thursday on my menu!  Yes we are eating this day, I just forgot to add it :) 

This week is going to be a long week!  It is the first full week in the last 3 weeks that Tyson doesn't have at least one day off!  So having my menu planned is going to help and save a lot of time and thinking which will be nice so that will free up so more time to get a few things done and play with the girls!

Sunday:  Pulled Pork Leftovers, cheesy potatoes and pea pods

Monday:  Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans and rolls

Tuesday:  Cheese Tortellini with homemade Alfredo sauce, salad and homemade break sticks

Wednesday:   Ranch Chicken (I didn't make this last week), crash hot potatoes (another one from PW) and Salad

Thursday: Cheeseburgers, baked beans and homemade fries

Friday: Homemade Pizza on the grill

Saturday:  Appetizers, Wings, Jalapeno poppers, Cheddar Beer Cocktail Weenies and Steak Bites


It is starting to cool down here and that is nice, Fall is my favorite season followed by Winter, I just love being able to make stews, soups and pot roasts when it is chilly outside!  I have been watching the t.v. show Master Chef and it has really gotten my creative juices flowing as far as meals go.  So I plan on making a list of all the creative stuff I want to try and pick a few out each month to cook up!  I am just getting sick of the same old menu items and could really use a change.  Stay tuned for an update on Morgan's start of preschool (I just have to get the pictures downloaded)  Have a great week!!

My Menu

I had my menu planned already, just late getting it posted :).  It was nice this past week with Tyson off of work Thursday, Friday and Monday.  We did a ton of fun things with the girls, a trip to the zoo, a trip to the farmers market, lots of playing and letting them stay up a little later than normal.  So it is going to be hard going into this week and the next week.  However Morgan had her first day of preschool today so I will have a separate post on that (stay tuned)

Sunday: Cheeseburgers, baked beans and fries

Monday:  Chicken Legs, rice and green beans

Tuesday:  Spaghetti, salad and garlic bread

Wednesday:  Pioneer Woman's Ranch Chicken, twice baked potatoes and pea pods

Thursday:  W.T.  Baked Potatoes, chili and macaroni and cheese

Friday:  Pulled Pork, corn on the cob and salad

Saturday:  Going to a BBQ at a friends house!

Oh by the way last week I made these from the Pioneer Woman and I have to say that they were DELICIOUS!  I highly recommend anyone to make them!  So far I have yet to find something of hers that I didn't LOVE!  She sure knows how to cook.  Have a great week!!
