Sorry for the lack of posts the past month or so. We hit the ground running in September and I am just now "coming up for air" as things slow down and our schedule kind of locks into place. Plus we are approaching "No November" (we did this last year) which means we/I start to say no to things! We slow way down, stay home, and kind of snuggle in for the cooler weather and school days. It also means more and more eating at home. We had a few weeks in September that were so busy that we ate on the run many days instead of eating at home.
Anyway, here is the plan for the coming week
Friday - I have some leftover Chili in the freezer from a few weeks ago that I'm going to use for dinner tonight (keeping it easy on a Friday). I also have some cornbread to make so that all sounds yummy for what is suppose to be a super cool day!
Saturday - Darryl and I can't get away like we did last year for a week but we can sneak off for the day :-) Joshua and Nate will be enjoying some time with Nana. (Thanks Nana!)
Sunday - I am shifting into using my crock pot on Sundays again as we like being able to eat when we get home from church. This week is Sloppy Joes and Bob Evans Mac and Cheese.
Monday - Using up some leftovers - Lasagna and Garlic Bread (by leftovers I mean I have a half a box of lasagna noodles, an almost full container of ricotta cheese that we only used a few spoonfuls out of to go with a soup last week, and half of a jar of pasta sauce that I can doctor up with some ground beef and tomato soup to create a pan of lasagna HA!) This is creativity at it's best and, with the rising cost of groceries, it is important to use the things we have!
Tuesday - I have a Mom's Night Out with our Co-Op so I'll be eating there. There is leftover chicken w/salsa from last week that I froze so the guys could use it again this week for dinner.
Wednesday - It's youth group night! My guys eat at Youth Group; I grab something while waiting for them and Darryl's on his own!
Thursday - Filipino Adobo Chicken, Broccoli and Rice Casserole, and Yeast Rolls
