Weekly Menu (A few days late)

 I think if I looked back a year ago I would find that this time of year I post menu's late HA!  September always seems super busy as all of the "things" begin again and we have to get back into a routine.  This year seems a little bit harder has High School requires more time, more focus, and more thinking!  Don't get me wrong, we all enjoy being home; it is just the reality that high school takes more work AND there is a very definite end goal.  So, with that, sometimes simple things like getting a menu posted (that is just SOOOO exciting) doesn't happen on time.  It is also why there aren't many other posts during the school year even when I have intentions of writing some!  Anyway, here's the menu plan for the week - we have a busy week so it is simple. 

Friday - (we had) Meatloaf (I make mine with stove top stuffing and BBQ sauce), Mashed Potatoes, and Green Beans

Saturday - My mom treated the boys to lunch as Darryl and I were both gone in opposite directions for most of the day.  I attended a Ladies conference with my Sunday School class and Darryl worked and then went to his dads. So, we didn't have  dinner at my mom's like normal.  We all had leftovers for dinner. 

Sunday - Pork Roast in the crock pot, mashed potatoes and a veggie 

Monday - We will either have leftovers from Sunday OR I'll make Eggs, Bacon and Toast

Tuesday - My mom, Josh, Nate, and I are attending my Aunts funeral.  My plan is to try a new crock pot recipe - so I'll be putting some ribs in the crock pot.  Then I cook Acorn Squash and corn.

Wednesday - Pot Pies for Darryl and I while the guys are at youth group.

Thursday;  Nate and I are heading to a concert (the last of his birthday gift from almost a year ago) so we will grab dinner on the way.  Darryl and Josh are on their own! 

I'll try to remember to post on time next week HA!

 This is our first week of co-op.  While we are all excited to get back to our group, it also means Fridays are busy and tiring!  

This weeks menu is: 

Friday - Shrimp and Grits and Cornbread

Sunday - I have a choir concert in the afternoon.  I plan to have a pork roast in the crock pot to have with mashed potatoes and corn. 

Monday - Beef and Pasta Soup (carried over from last week) 

Tuesday - Quiche, Sausage Balls, and cinnamon rolls

Thursday - Stuffed Shells and Garlic Bread

It's hard to believe that when this week ends we will just be days away from October.

Weekly Menu - Getting back in the Groove

 All of the things are getting back into the swing of things.  We have a couple of nights that we eat in shifts so I have to try to be a little more creative (or at least plan well) so that we still eat well.  I would say it is time to start cooking the comfort food dishes but it is close to 90 as we wrap up this week HA!  Crazy hot weather.  

Here's the plan for the coming week: 

Friday - Easy Spaghetti Pie, Salad, and Garlic Bread

Saturday - Dinner at my mom's 

Sunday - Creamy Crock-Pot Chicken Tuscan Style over Pasta served with French Bread

Monday - Beef, Tomato, and Pasta Soup

Tuesday - Roasted Pork Loin, Baked Potatoes, and Green Beans

Wednesday - Stuffed Shells and Bosco Sticks 

Thursday - Chicken Rollatini stuffed with zucchini and  mozzarella, crash potatoes and corn

Summer Fun 2024 - week 13

 Well, this is the last official week of summer!  I’ve enjoyed our quiet pace and thankful for the opportunities that my guys had throughout summer for fun, fellowship, and time with friends.  



On Sunday evening we had the annual Night of Praise.  The teens were some of the crew that carried praise signs. 


Monday was National Dog Day!  Here is our sweet pooch!  


We got to enjoy another family dinner on Wednesday!  


On Friday and Saturday Joshua and Nate dog sat for a lady from church while she was at a wedding.  She treated them to a pizza delivery too!  I checked in on them and the pooch and Nate sent me this photo - I think they all enjoyed their time together 😊
