I've tried a few new recipes from Tastes Better From Scratch and have been pleasantly surprised. I've find them to be tasty, easy to make and budget friendly. I'm looking ahead at this coming week and am following the inspiration of this weeks menu plan.
Friday - French toast, sausage and bacon, and crash potatoes
Saturday - Originally today we were going to a wedding reception for a friend from church but then my Father-in-law asked us to come over to celebrate his birthday before he heads out of town for a few weeks. My FIL turns 83 in another week and has had a few health struggles this year so we decided that celebrating him was pretty important. I'm not sure what we are doing with him for a meal yet. In the past we have picked up KFC (chicken only) and then brought along sides so maybe we will do that.
Sunday - The past few weeks we have had sandwiches and have enjoyed this easy after church meal. I usually pick Hawaiian rolls or wraps for bread and then have extra topping. Plus a summer salad and chips and salsa round it all out.
Monday - Beef and Acini soup and French bread
Tuesday - stuffed Shells and garlic bread
Wednesday- Chuck-fil-a nuggets and fries
Thursday - Mini Meatloaves, crash potatoes, and Salad. I have several great meat loaf recipes (we really like meatloaf in the winter - it is such a great comfort food on a cold evening) but this one cooks in a muffin tin and has a shorter baking time making it easier to cook up in the summer!
