Weekly Menu

 Well, hello.  October has been amazing.  Beautiful sunny days and cool, crisp nights!  I think October is my current favorite month. haha  Even the dog loves it - he often can be found laying in the sun on the deck and when asked if he wants to come in, he raises his head, looks at you, and I actually think he rolls his eyes before laying his head back down.  For Real.  This is the month of THEE birthday - Josh turns 18.  I don't think any of  us are quite ready for that!  Later this month he is picking dinners but for now, it is still on me! 

Friday: At the typing of this I'm still debating.  Sometimes there are extra kids here; plus my guys are heading to a football game.  I'm leaning towards a couple frozen pizzas and bosco sticks but we shall see.

Saturday - Nate is heading to a fall retreat with friends, Josh is heading to Homecoming with Averie and Darryl and I are chauffeuring.  We will get dinner somewhere :-) 

Sunday - We are picking Nate up from his retreat around noon so I'm really not sure what we are eating yet.  

Monday - Homemade pizza.  Simple. 

Tuesday - I have a mom's night with our co-op I might attend (I don't always go).  I'm thinking an easy meal in case I'm not home - Cheese Tortellini with alfredo and Garlic Bread

Wednesday - Youth Group! 

Thursday - Boneless Turkey Breast, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing and Gravy. 

I feel like this weeks planning is a little bit of "we shall see where we are and what we are doing" kind of planning.  :-)

 I think the “ber” months might be my favorite.  The days become crisp, the changing colors and leaves falling, apple cider, and no more sweating!!!  Plus it’s nice to cook lovely foods in the oven that make home smell …. Homey. 😊❤️

Here’s the plan for the coming week: 

Friday - we will be running from place to place so dinner might be picking up a pizza in the way home. 

Saturday- dinner at my moms

Sunday - pit luck at church 

Monday -pork loin, rice and a veggie

Tuesday - Roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans and gravy 

Wednesday - youth group

Thursday - Tacos

 It's the end of September WHAT!  That means we enter the "Holiday" Months!  Birthdays, Halloween, a Retreat, Thanksgiving and . .. . Christmas! Whew!  Slow down time!  :-)  I'm sure I say that every year about this time.  I will say that September kinda blew right by me though.  I'm trying to enjoy each moment and not look too far ahead (even though, technically, that's what I did in my first couple of sentences!)  Enough of that - lets check out this weeks menu.
