Weekly Menu

 Last week I had a new recipe on my plan - A Chicken Cobbler.  It was pretty good.  I will say it needs to cook much longer than the recipe says; and maybe a higher temp.  The recipe states to cook it at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.  I cooked it for 55 minutes and it was still slightly under baked as far as the biscuit topping.  If interested you can find the recipe HERE. 

Now, on to this weeks menu!

Friday - BBQ Cups and French Fries

Saturday - Dinner at my mom's

Sunday - We get a treat!!  What is it?  My brother, Kel, and sister-in-law, Deb PLUS my mom are all coming over to watch the Lions game around 4:00p.  We are going to have some fun football snacks.  :-)  After church we will just have something simple - maybe just soup and sandwiches. 

Monday - Creamy chicken soup with pasta and spinach

Tuesday - Pork Chops, Mac and Cheese and Applesauce

Wednesday - Leftovers

Thursday - Community Dinner

Weekly Menu (On Time!!)

 See, I AM on time this week HA!  I'm looking forward to some things slowing down (maybe).  That is always my goal as we start to get the shorter days and cooler temps - to buckle down and focus on school and enjoying our time at home. 

Here's the plan for the coming week: 

Friday - Pot Pies.  Here's the truth - while our Co-Op is in session, if I don't play super simple dinners OR put something in the crock pot, it is WAY to easy to order Little Caesars Pizza.  We are all tired from a long day and the last thing I want to do is spend too much time getting dinner ready!  Nachos are easy because I can make the meat/bean mixture the day before! 

Saturday - Dinner at my mom's house.  :-) Maybe.  Darryl has shingles so we are waiting to decide on this until a little later to decide

Sunday - We have a church pot luck. 

Monday - Chicken Cobbler and Salad - I saw this on-line and everyone said it was good so we shall see if "everyone" was right - I'll let you know how it turns out!

Tuesday - Maybe pot pies again - or something I can leave for the guys.  I have a "Mom's Night Out" event with our co-op that I will be attending while the guys enjoy soup and bread :-) 

Wednesday - Spaghetti and Garlic Bread

Thursday -  Ham and Cheese Quiche, Crash Potatoes, and Cinnamon Rolls.  This is been planned for three weeks specifically because my mom loves it (we do too!) so she is coming for dinner! 

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! 

Weekly Menu

 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

Saturday - Dinner at my mom's

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

Wednesday - Pot Pies

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

Weekly Menu

 We just wrapped up our first week of school.  To be honest, I love routine so being back in the routine of school is great!! 

Friday - my guys have a bonfire with friends today so, unless it rains, they will be gone. Darryl and I are having chicken, potatoes and corn. 

Saturday- dinner at my mom’s.

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 😊
