I was amazed last week how far my grocery budget stretched in order to have lots of snacks on Football Sunday :-) Our dinners were pretty simple but that's ok, my husband was gone several nights due to work so the kids and I ate simple anyway.
This week we are starting out without kids (they went to see Papa and Nana) so our menu is more adult friendly.
Saturday: We have plans to work all day in our basement so I know that by the time dinner rolls around we will be ready to relax without cooking. We will order in - probably from our favorite Italian Place!
Sunday: Roast, Potatoes, Carrots in the crock pot
Monday: I will be on my own - can't believe it HA! I will absolutely be getting something from somewhere - just not sure where I'll go!
Tuesday: Teriyaki Chicken Thighs, Savory Rice, Peas and Biscuits
Wednesday: BBQ Cups and French Fries
Thursday: Taco Stuffed Shells, Corn, Crescent Rolls
Friday: Cinnamon Strudel Pancakes, Hash browns, and Bacon

Recipe Friday - Pumpkin Dip
Last Sunday was Football Kick Off in this house (yes, I know the first game was on a Thursday but that just doesn't count!). We always enjoy appetizers when it comes to Football so I searched to find some new ideas for this year! I shared our Muffin Tin Monday lunch and mentioned Pumpkin Dip. I had several of you ask for the recipe so . .. here it is!
A few weeks ago there was a Dip Linky Party over at Boo Mama - I went through every link that was open the day I happened upon the blog and picked out some things that sounded good. I can honestly say that of all that I made there was one that was a complete flop and one that wasn't but it wasn't good enough to make again. This Pumpkin Dip was our top pick of everything I made.

This dip is basically pumpkin pie in a bowl except better. It is creamy and delicious and, as I mentioned in a previous post, my kids dipped everything, including their fingers, into this dip. Josh called it "cake" HA! We used graham crackers for dipping but you could also dip gingersnaps or vanilla wafers.
