 We have a HUGE music festival coming in to town this weekend so I have planned ahead to try and avoid unnecessary trips to the store. (Upwards of 40,000 people are arriving in Ionia beginning yesterday for the weekend.  It’s going to be a zoo) 

So here’s my plan! 

Friday - Quiche Night - Mushroom Spinach and Swiss cheese quiche and Three Cheese quiche.  Since they are both meatless I plan to cook Bacon to go along side and make a blueberry coffee cake. 

Saturday - we have some fun plans during the day (pending how bad the traffic is - if it’s crazy we aren’t going anywhere!) with my mom and then the guys head to a men’s night.  

Sunday - to keep it simple before our Fantasy Football draft I’m making little sausage crescent rolls, pasta salad, and party queso

Monday - Cheesy potato soup and bread 

Tuesday - Beef Flautas and rice

Wednesday - Sausage Gravy and Biscuits

Thursday — Pretzel mustard crusted chicken and fried rice

My local Christian station has started playing new songs and/or artists on Fridays.  This was new to me and I enjoyed it!

Here’s a look back af our week (not in order!) 

On Thursday Nate had his well child appointment and he is in perfect health! 

Then we went in an adventure and got Chick-fil-a!! 

Josh had physical therapy on Friday morning so I got coffee 😊

Our Saturday included Darryl and Nate replacing the garbage disposal. 

And ended with a great dinner and rousing game at my mom’s.

 As summer winds down and our fall schedule starts I shift gears with menu planning as our evenings get a little fuller and we eat in shifts more often. I tried the idea of meal prepping for the week this past week by cooking meals for Tuesday-Thursday all on Tuesday. Won’t do that again! 🤣🤣🤣👎. Ha!  I did not enjoy cooking for endless hours in one day!  I’d rather plan super easy meals!  

Anyway, here’s the plan! 

Friday: Boneless turkey breast and potatoes in the crockpot

Saturday - Dinner at my moms

Sunday - it’s Baptism Sunday so we will be later heading for home and plan to grab something. 

Monday - Spaghetti Carbonara and French Bread

Tuesday - Amish baked chicken and noodles

Wednesday - everyone’s kind of on their own 

Thursday - Barbacups and fries

Our Weekly Snapshot

 Here’s a look back at our week :

First up— I went on a little retreat with my Sunday School class.  We stayed at one of the ladies cottages and ate, did a craft, ate, got ice cream, ate, did a couple Bible Studies, ate again, went to Lake Michigan and…….. you guessed it, ate some more 🤣🤣🤣

Josh, Nate and a few of their friends did a Bible Study this summer led by a couple of the teens Grandma.  Well, they finished it up on Tuesday with a sleep over at the Grandparents house at the lake!

I’m not even part of this but I included it because we got to watch the first Lions preseason game —— and search for this group of people in the stands while watching the game at home!  

Finally, on Friday my mom and I enjoyed lunch with two of my cousins.  We always enjoy getting together! 

And Ginger gave us flowers fresh cut from her yard! 

Friday we were finally able to treat Nate to dinner.  We did this with Josh a few weeks ago. 

Weekly Menu

 Here’s the plan for this (kinda) quiet week

Friday - Nate’s choice.  Whether we grill or go out, it’s his choice as Josh is gone. (Josh got to do this a few weeks ago.)

Saturday- it’s been awhile because the life of teens in summertime = busy!  We are going to my mom’s! 

Sunday - Burgers, 

Monday - Meatloaf, mashed potatoes and corn 

Tuesday- Meatballs over rice and salad 

Wednesday - Korean Beef Sloppy Joes and veggies and fruit

Thursday - chicken and Dumplings Casserole and salad
