My Menu

I know it has been awhile since I have been on here.  I have a ton of updates to post about but just have been way to busy to get them done!  This last month my friend and her son came out to visit for the week, it was so nice to have a girlfriend around to talk to, we stayed up and giggled, watched t.v. and ate ALOT of ice cream!  I didn't realize how much I miss have a constant girlfriend around to be able to do that with. The kids are going stir crazy since it has been so cold and the snow is not melting so I have been trying to find new things to entertain them with so that has kept me pretty busy along with all the other household chores.  I have had a menu, but like I said posting has been put on the back burner. 

I do want to share a new recipe I tried on Friday night, Tyson said that I outdid myself with the recipe, you know it is good when it was a NEW recipe and he liked it that much (he doesn't care for "new" things sometimes)  Anyways, I was craving Sausage and Peppers and found Giada De Laurentiis recipe HERE, it was DELICIOUS!! 

Also, it was Morgan's birthday on Saturday and we let her choose where to eat and what to do, she chose Burger King (I was surprised, I thought she was going to say Red Robin, but I think she wanted to go somewhere with a play land) and she also picked Chuck E Cheese for the games

Anyways, here is my menu this week and I am going to try to get a few more posts updated this week!  Have a great week everyone!!

Sunday:  Balsamic Brown Sugar Pork Tenderloin (new recipe, found HERE), Au gratin Potatoes and green beans

Monday: Lasagna, Homemade Olive Garden Breadsticks

Tuesday:  Fried Chicken, Rice and Corn

Wednesday: Beef and Bean Burritos (from PW, made them before and they are good), Tator Tots

Thursday:  Breakfast for Dinner, Bacon, Eggs, Hasbrowns, and Pancakes

Friday:  ??  Free pass day, maybe pizza, maybe Chinese?

Saturday: Cheese steak sandwiches (new recipe I have been wanting to try HERE), fries and pasta salad

Keep checking back as I have Morgans Birthday post to update you all on!!

My Menu

It is Christmas Eve and I need to plan my menu for the week.  I was able to get almost ALL of the kids presents wrapped, we are waiting on their "big" gift from Santa, I ordered it online last Sunday and it looks like it is going to be delivered today.  The problem is that I had it delivered to Tyson's work so Morgan wouldn't wonder what the packages are for and the office closes at Noon today so I am hoping that it gets delivered before then, otherwise we will have to go down to Fed Ex to pick it up.  Oh well, at least they will get their Santa gifts on Christmas (bikes for the twins and Hello Kitty Bedding for Morgan)

Sunday:  Taco Soup

Monday:  Appetizers, Chicken Wings, Potato Skins and Shrimp Quesadilla's (from PW of course)

Tuesday:  CHRISTMAS DAY!  I am making my traditional Egg Bake for breakfast.  We will feast on Ham, Cheesy Potato Casserole, Green Bean Casserole, Salad and Rolls (yum)

Wednesday:  Spaghetti, Garlic Bread and Salad

Thursday:  Leftover Ham (not sure what recipe yet)

Friday:  Chili Cheese Hot Dogs, Macaroni Salad and Fries

Saturday:  Not sure yet, maybe eat out, maybe make homemade pizza...I will see how we feel


Have a Merry Christmas!!

Menu coming soon

I know I haven't posted a menu in two weeks, the first week I had my friend Lee and her adorable son Ethan here at the house and I wanted to wait and see what she felt like having for dinner.  Last week we were all recovering from the stomach flu so eating was sparse.  Now I need to get to the grocery store since I ran out of time this weekend and I don't want to plan a menu until I have gotten to the store. 


Yesterday I made The Pioneer Woman's Salisbury Steak and it was delicious, today I think I am going to make her Chicken Parmesan with garlic bread and Salad (I have been craving salad a lot lately).  I have a ton of ideas especially since it has been colder, I know that I want to make a pot roast and then we will have leftovers to make french dips.  I also want to make a Turkey soup with our leftover turkey from Thanksgiving.  Also, Christmas is fastley approaching so I thought I would make a Ham for dinner, along with my breakfast casserole that is our traditional Christmas breakfast. 


So stayed tuned I should have a menu planned by tomorrow.
