menu plan monday

I made a ham today with pineapples (I don't like fruit, but ham is better this way) and brown sugar glaze. So, we had ham after church, baked potatoes and whole wheat rolls. It was yummy! So tonight I'm going to soak some beans (either pinto or black... not sure yet) and then cook them all day tomorrow in the slow cooker with leftover ham. I'll make some cornbread and a salad tomorrow night. Tuesday we'll have chili with the leftover beans and I'll have fritos on hand for frito chili pie... Amanda loves that! AND Wednesday we'll have fat free beef kosher weiners on ww buns and leftover chili with pretzels on the side. Thursday we'll have spaghetti with ww pasta and ww garlic toast with salad and Friday some steak with potatoes salad and ww rolls... Sounds like a plan. So, what are you having for supper?

menu plan monday

I'm so excited to be posting a menu plan monday today.
I actually restocked the fridge last night and copied off some recipes while spending time at mom's this weekend. YEA!
Today I'm making chicken taco quiche. It is a recipe that makes two quiches so you can freeze one.
I'm also making a beef spiral bake that is for two dishes to freeze one and a spinach alfredo pizza recipe later in the week.
I'm sick of eating out! I am looking forward to a week of cooking, cleaning, shopping and doing lots of laundry. I'm even enjoying doing laudry, go figure!
I'll try to post the recipes later... I'm off to bathe izzy now.
Happy Monday.

Well, better late than never huh? Maybe not. I spent the entire day (well... most of the day) cleaning and organizing Emelia's bedroom! Oh my goodness! She has so much stuff! I started just throwing things away about hour five. She never really asks for toys, she's never really played with her toys much which is maybe why there are so many new looking things in her room. I am so glad to have that done. Amanda helped a little. (Remember she's working off her ticket ... found out it is $103.00) I intentionally finished before Emelia came home from school. It's just easier that way.

Tonight I fixed Matt and the girls steaks and I had a slice of leftover roast from yesterday on a slice of french bread with a little mayo... fresh veggies on the side with ranch. It was yummy. We had a few cookies left that Matt took care of and some chocolate chip ice cream. I shared mine with Izzy.

Tomorrow I plan to throw something in the crockpot. Probably chicken spaghetti. It's easy and good. The cooler weather makes slow cooking very appealing. We'll have broccoli and some garlic toast.

Wednesday is trunk or treat at church. I will fix us a grilled cheese sandwich and some tomato soup for a quick meal before we go. I need to run to the store and get some cheerful decorations for the back of my suburban. Any ideas?

Thursday will be November 1! I can't hardly believe it is almost November... then almost December! I have not bought ONE present yet! I'm not stressing though. Not much is planned for Thursday, Emelia has basketball practice. I may make a big pot of beans with ham some corn bread.

Friday I may take Matt on a date. We made a plan to alternate planning a date each month. In October Matt took me for Panera bread and a walk through the park... complete with Duck feeding! I am not sure where to take him. Again, any ideas?

Tomorrow is time travel Tuesday! Since it is so close to Halloween, lets travel back to our most memorable Halloween. Did you dress up and go door to door growing up? What was your favorite costume? I'll put Mr. Linky up later tonight so come and link up and share!

menu plan monday ~ october 1

Can you believe it is October??? ALREADY? The time is zooming by at such a speed I feel like screaming "HEY WAIT FOR ME!!!"

This is a good menu week for me... I am only responsible for Monday & Tuesday! We will be flying to Orlando very early Wednesday morning and will be gone for a whole week! I am taking my laptop with me, but don't know about what kind of connections I'll have or if there will be time to check anything but email.

Our plans are to go to Walt Disney World, Epcot, Magic Kingdom, water parks, the ocean... whatever else we can find while we're there!

I'm praying for and claiming good health this week. There's just too much fun to be under the weather (cough cough).

Monday I think I'll make burgers and have baked beans and baked potato chips on the side. I don't want any leftovers hanging around.

Tuesday will be pizza. How much easier can you get?

Thanks Org. Junkie for hosting the menu plan Monday!

Speaking of Tuesday... this week we will travel back to our first home... was it your very own apartment, or a home with your new spouse? What memories do you have from that first home? How did you make that first house (or apartment) a home? Come back Tuesday and share!
