Weekly Menu - January is done

 2023 is flying HA!  January is already done :-)  Things pick up a little this week with our co-op on Friday.  Plus my guys will be gone at a winter retreat this weekend. 

Friday - Pork Lo Mein with carrots and scallions (Dinnerly)  I'll be honest - first day of homeschool co-op + sending my guys off to camp means a very busy day.  I'm not sure if dinner will actually be this or if we will grab take out.  I might be "done" by the time I get home. 

Saturday - Darryl and I are going to enjoy a date day with some shopping, dinner and, who knows, maybe a movie

Sunday - There are a few options today depending on when my guys are expected home.  We might stay in town and eat lunch while we wait; maybe go home and cook the Pork Lo Mein; maybe grab take out and go home.  I'm flexible :-) 

Monday - I think I might have a dinnerly menu or two that are hold overs from last week so I plan to cook that up.  If not I will just make some baked tacos. 

Tuesday - Dinnerly

Wednesday - Dinnerly

Thursday - Dinnerly

Weekly Menu

 I'm enjoying our quieter weeks.  It is part of what I enjoy so much about winter.  We are snuggled in and just enjoying being home and not feeling so rushed.  It also makes cooking a little more enjoyable. 

Friday - This is our last Friday before Co-op gets started so I think I'll actually cook!  Homemade Lasagna, green beans, and Garlic Bread

Saturday - Joshua and Nate, along with other friends from a Co-op, are doing a community service project working a pancake dinner so that is where we will eat too!

Sunday - Beef Tips and Noodles.  I'm really liking having Sunday Lunch cooking in the crock pot while we are at church.  It makes it so much easier to walk in the door and eat when it is already done!  

Monday - Sausage and Tortellini Soup and French Bread

Tuesday - Sauce Skillet Chicken with broccoli and egg noodles (Dinnerly)

Wednesday - Josh and Nate have youth group and eat there. 

Thursday - Katzu-Glazed Turkey Meatloaves with mashed sweet potatoes (Dinnerly) for the guys and I am going out to dinner with my Sunday School Class.

Weekly Menu

 This will be week 2 of Dinnerly.  This year I'm trying to be more selective in the recipes to make sure we will actually use them.  I'm also looking at a variety - last year it seemed like the recipes were all the same and not that enjoyable.  

Friday - Tonight is our make-up Presentation Night which was supposed to be in November but was delayed due to a snow storm.  We will eat there. 

Saturday - Dinner at my mom's 

Sunday - Chili and Fritos.  This is a favorite after church dinner as it is ready when we get home - no waiting! 

Monday - Baked Tacos and a Salad

Tuesday - Shrimp Fajita Bowl with rice and sour cream (Dinnerly)

Wednesday - Baked POpcorn Chicken, smashed potatoes and green beans (Dinnerly)

Thursday - Steak Frites (Dinnerly)

Weekly Menu

 This month is surprisingly busy.  Not in a bad way it's just that we have more things on the calendar already then we normally do in January.  Part of this is because things that normally happen in November or December got moved to January due to weather and/or time.  Plus all of the "things" start up again - lessons, youth groups, and Homeschool things.  This week will reflect a little of those things! 

Friday - Nate's birthday party!  Since his birthday is so close to Christmas, his party always gets pushed into January.  He is having a few friends over so I'm sure dinner will be Chicken Nuggets and Fries.  :-) 

Saturday - Dinner at my moms.  It is nice to get back into this routine once again. 

Sunday - One last Christmas!  We are having Christmas with Darryl's family today as it is the only date that worked for everyone. 

Monday - Stuffed Shells, Salad and Garlic Bread

Tuesday - One of the benefits of the on-line school option is that now get about 6 weeks of free meals from Dinnerly.  We got this last year and it was a nice thing through the winter months.  My first delivery starts "Today" (Tuesday).  So, tonight will be Pulled Pork Tacos with corn and red onion salsa

Wednesday - Youth group begins again.  Josh and Nate will eat there; I'll leave soup for Darryl and I'm grab something simple while waiting for them to be done. 

Thursday - Seared Steak with scalloped potatoes (Dinnerly) 

Because of scheduling the next few days I'm actually going to make the third "dinner" for lunch on Thursday and will also eat it on Friday. So it is King Pao Chicken over Rice.
