Weekly Menu - Back on Track

 Oops!  I missed last week.  I was sure I had written it and posted it but I never did!  We did eat though :-) 

So, Dinnerly.  It has not been great.  The last box we got was awful.  The sour cream had curdled, the meat smelled awful, the tomatoes were crushed etc.  I sent an e-mail and am stopping the rest of the boxes.  They just have not been good.  Oh well.  I did use as much of the food out of every box that I good - even when I used them in different recipes but when we are throwing out so much of it - it's just being wasteful.  

Instead, I'm back to planning meals that we actually really love and enjoy!  Here's the plan for the coming week. 

Friday - Joshua is heading off to a winter retreat so it will just be Nate with Darryl and I.  I think we might treat Nate to dinner tonight.  

Saturday - We are going to my mom's for dinner.  Our Saturdays/weekends have been busier so we don't always get to my mom's on Saturday.  We do still try to get together at least once a week but it doesn't always work out.  We all enjoy those dinners though so I try to keep them a priority when I can! 

Sunday - I plan to have a roast in the crock pot along with some baked potatoes to eat once we get home from church. 

Monday - Monday night also is a crock pot night or at least a meal that I can make and eat at 5:00 but then Darryl can eat at 6:00!  I plan to make a batch of crock pot fajita's for this very reason. 

Tuesday - Our Tuesday nights are even busier.  I take Josh to drums, come home and have about 30 minutes to eat dinner before I head back out with Nate to guitar.  So, again, dinner has to be simple and quick.  I plan on making Hamburger Strogenoff with noodles.  It is quick and easy and so tasty!

Wednesday - It is Darryl's birthday!  Joshua and Nate have youth group so I'm plan to take Darryl out to dinner :-) 

Thursday - We are celebrating Darryl's birthday tonight so he gets to pick!
