My Menu

Here is my menu for the week. I am only trying a few new recipes this week, compared to last week. I have to say so far we haven't been disappointed in the new recipes, but this week I thought I would go back to a few of our favorites that we are used to.

Sunday: Christmas Day, we had a Ham dinner feast at Uncle Bobby's and Aunt Donna's house--it was nice to not have to slave in the kitchen for the day!

Monday: Spaghetti Batch in the crock pot (I didn't do this last week as I had a cold and didn't feel like cooking) but now we have some sauce in the freezer for our regular spaghetti nights!

Tuesday: Chicken Legs (I will do Teriyaki and Hot and probably one or two plain for the twins), noodles and green beans

Wednesday: Taco Soup (it has been a while since I have made a fresh batch, the last couple times we ate this it was from our frozen stash) and quesadilla's

Thursday: W. T. Night--Baked Potatoes, Chili and Mac and Cheese

Friday: Garlic Skirt Steak (recipe found here), Crack Potatoes (I didn't name them, recipe found here) and pea pods

Saturday: New Years Eve--I always make appetizers on New Years Eve. I am making Crab Ragoon dip--new recipe, Stuffed Mushrooms--mine ARE the best, and Spicy and Teriyaki Chicken Bites--this will be a kid free meal, we try to do that once in a while on Saturday nights, get the kids down and enjoy some food, with peace and quiet!!

So, only 3 new recipes to try, I am pretty excited about the ones I chose for this week. I am busy thinking about my menu for next week already and have to do some more searching on Pinterest to see if I can find anymore that I want to try!! Have a great week!

My Menu

Here is my menu for this week. For some reason I struggled to come up with a menu this week, I went grocery shopping on Saturday and have a fridge and freezer full of food. I think it is because there are so many new recipes I want to try and I just don't know where to put all of them!

Sunday: Pulled Pork Taco's, tator tots and beans (I took the chipotle chicken recipe from here. I cooked the pulled pork all day in the crock pot with chicken stock, shredded it and saved half for regular pulled pork and put the other half in the chipotle sauce--it is kinda spicy so I didn't give it to the kids) it was AMAZING!

Monday: Chicken and Cheese Crescent rolls, rice, and green beans

Tuesday: Pizza Casserole, parmesean garlic knots, and Salad

Wednesday: Pork Chops, Cous Cous and Corn

Thursday: Spaghetti batch in the crockpot, garlic bread and salad

Friday: Angel Chicken (crockpot friday), balsamic carrots (I have been wanting to make these for weeks and haven't gotten around to it) homemade rolls

Saturday: Christmas Eve--we are going to our neighbors house to have appetizers, so YAY no cooking for me :)

As you can see I have a lot of new recipes that I am trying.....everything that is linked is new to me EXCEPT for the garlic bread for Thursday. I still have a ton more ideas, so stayed tuned for next weeks recipes! Have a great week!!

My Menu

I am sticking to the basics this week with my menu, trying very minimal new dishes. However I do have some plans for the upcoming month thanks to Pinterest. I am also struggling with what to cook when since Christmas is just around the corner, but once I get to the grocery store and have my groceries, I figured I would be inspired again and be able to get creative with my menu.

Sunday: Beer Can Chicken, twice baked potatoes and green beans

Monday: Rigatoni w/ spaghetti sauce, salad and homemade garlic bread (from Pinterest)

Tuesday: Fried Chicken, rice and balsamic carrots (again from Pinterest)

Wednesday: I am struggling with what to decide for this day, I was thinking Pork Chops or Meatloaf.

Thursday: Oven Baked Chili Dogs (thanks Pinterest) and fries

Friday: We are considering going out to eat, there is a new Chinese buffet that we have been dying to try and it is a reasonable price and they offer sushi, so we thought why not, we don't eat out that often.

Saturday: ?? depends on what I feel like after grocery shopping, I was thinking homemade pizza's on the BBQ? Maybe appetizers?

I have so many ideas running thru my head on recipes I want to try, I also have to get a big batch of spaghetti sauce frozen as we are running low. I really want to try Pulled Pork Tacos with the chicken chipotle recipe I made last week, there is a pizza casserole I want to try, along with many other recipes, so stay tuned for my upcoming menu's to see what I decide!! Have a great week everyone!!
