Weekly Menu - Hello 2023

 Good-bye 2022; Hello 2023.  Nothing else needs to be said!  

Friday - Chicken Alfredo Fettuccini and Garlic Bread

Saturday - New Year's Eve!  I'm planning soup and French bread for a late lunch with my mom; we will also have some simple snacks like cheese and crackers, Spinach Dip, I'll add to those snacks throughout the evening with bacon roll-ups, crescent wrapped sausages, and shrimp cocktail.  

Sunday - New Year's Day!  We are heading to my mom's to celebrate today. 

Monday -  And now it is January 2nd and I'm already tired of cooking for the year HA! I'm going super simple tonight and making Slow Cooker Beef  Ragu over pasta with green beans and garlic bread

Tuesday - I think there will be ham left from Sunday (and I think my mom will send some home maybe!!) so I'm planning ham and scalloped potatoes along with a salad 

Wednesday - Using up some leftovers in the freezer I plan to make pulled pork quesadillas with chips and salsa 

Thursday - Joshua and Nate will be helping serve at the community dinner with their youth group so I'll have dinner there before it's over and I pick them up.  I'll leave soup for Darryl at home. 


The key this week is keeping it all simple and using up leftovers and items in the freezer.  I used to be lazier with leftovers but as groceries prices have risen I have worked much harder at using things up that we have on hand before I buy more and things get wasted.
