Weekly Menu

 I love the holiday season - the lights, the music, and the focus on Jesus is just wonderful.  I'm focusing this month on just cooking our family favorites.  I actually went through my recipes and pulled on the things that we really love and plan to just make those instead of making so many new things.  

Here's the plan for the coming week:

Friday - I'm not sure yet - maybe we will have leftovers with my mom - we've done this before.  If not, maybe we will get some pizza.  

Saturday - We are heading to my in-laws to have "Thanksgiving" with Darryl's family.  This is not something we normally do but, this year, they decided to gather on a Saturday which made it possible for us to go to.  (We enjoy Thanksgiving Day with my mom and Darryl's Dad at my mom's house).

Sunday - Stuffed Shells, Garlic Bread and Green Beans

Monday - Chicken Pot Pie Crescent Braid

Tuesday - Homemade Spaghetti and Garlic Bread

Wednesday - Soup and Sandwiches

Thursday - Spaghetti Carbanara and French Bread

Weekly Menu - It is Thanksgiving Week!

 Thanksgiving - how in the world are we already at the end of November 2023?  Last year we were gearing up for our first snow storm of this season - this year it is still hanging around 55-60 degrees and just beautiful!  Our schedule is quickly slowing down (which is always nice) as our co-op has ended.  We are getting in a lot more hours of school each week which is also nice as it allows us to start to get ahead!  Plus I really like to slow things down as we come into the holiday season so that we can really focus on what it is about.  

So now, here's the plan for the coming week. 

Friday - Leftovers!  I know, exciting right?  I made a big pan of of baked Ziti on Thursday with lots of leftovers so we will warm those up and I also picked up some good cheesy garlic bread to go with it. 

Saturday - Joshua, Nate and I have an activity with our co-op so Darryl is on his own!  We are going to meet my mom for brunch at a little Cafe in town though!  

Sunday - Crock Pot smothered pork chops and potatoes and a salad

Monday - Beef, Tomato, and Acini Pasta Soup and French Bread

Tuesday - Loaded Nachos with ground pork and beans and a salad

Wednesday - Sausage Biscuits and Gravy, eggs and crash potatoes 

Thursday - Thanksgiving :-)  My mom is hosting!

Weekly Menu

 I totally missed my menu post last week that I know you all wait for each and every week :-) Just an oversight on my part because, as you might guess, we totally ate dinner every single night this past week.  Anyway, things are really slowing down around here as our weekly Co-op wraps up tonight with our Presentation Night.  This is technically "No-November" so I try to not add anything extra to our schedule that isn't already there and try (really hard) to not spend anything not planned but this past week was hard as I had a lot of things to get done for tonight.  So now, it is time to "tuck in" and stay home HA!  

Anyway, all of that to say I am not forgetting this week! 

Friday - Presentation Night.  There is food so we just enjoy the snacks and appetizers. 

Saturday - I'm heading to a ladies dine out and leaving Pot Pies for my guys. 

Sunday - Slow Cooker Creamy ranch Pork Chops, Souper Rice, and acorn squash 

Monday - sloppy joes and crash potatoes 

Tuesday - baked chicken, noodles and squash

Wednesday - soup and rolls 

Thursday - Baked Ziti and Garlic Bread
