Weekly Menu

 I'm a day late but that's ok :-) HA!  We are still living with coolers BUT we ordered a fridge today . . .. and a microwave (which died two weeks ago) and a dishwasher (which has been dead for years).  The dishwasher wasn't planned but Menards had some amazing Presidents Day sales still going on and getting all three was still within our budget.   The dishwasher and Fridge will hopefully arrive and be delivered by the first week in March.  

Here's the plan for the coming week - more cooking than last week HA! 

Friday - We had Breakfast - English Muffins, Eggs, Bacon, Sausage and Pancakes.  Joshua and Nate had a friend over plus I totally forgot that I planned a roast in the crock pot until I was sitting at lunch at our Homeschool Co-Op so I had to get creative for dinner.  It was super yummy though! 

Saturday - Dinner at my mom's with my brother Ken. 

Sunday - Dinner after church at my mom's with Ken again :-) 

Monday - Ham Slices and Broccoli Cheese Soup.  Nate is hopefully back to TKD this week now that his fractured toe is healing so we eat in shifts.  The meal needs to be easy to re-heat :-) 

Tuesday - Tacos!  I have a Ladies Night Out with our homeschool co-op for a (ready . . ) taco bar so I'm leaving Tacos at home for the guys too. 

Wednesday - Pot Pies.  Joshua and Nate eat at youth group and then get cereal afterwards if they are still hungry. 

Thursday - Roast, Noodles, and Green Beans!  

Enjoy your week!

Weekly Menu

 January was such a long month that I completely missed posted my menu last week HA!  Don't worry, you did not miss anything exciting.  It was a week of leftovers and "make-up" meals - meals that had been planned for different dates but never got made so I made them this past week :-)  We are still using coolers so meal planning still has to be a little creative - or maybe it is grocery shopping that has to be creative - to ensure that I have room for the cold stuff.  I'm finding send in 2-3 small pick up orders a week (so every few days) is working best - I am finding that I am spending less money because often times a meal carries over due to extra leftovers or a change in plans for a day.  There is just less sitting in the coolers and freezer right now since we use it all up!  

Here is the plan for the coming week. 

Friday - Joshua and Nate are heading off to winter retreat so Darryl and I will pick up some dinner to enjoy at home.  Nothing fancy - maybe some Popeye's Chicken since I have coupons! 

Saturday - Darryl and I plan to enjoy an afternoon/evening out which will include a nice dinner.  Not sure where yet :-)

Sunday - The teens come home Sunday afternoon and it is Superbowl Sunday.  Plans are up in the air - they will come home hungry so more then likely they will want their favorite fast food.  Several people in my family can't eat much after about 6:30 due to sensitive stomachs so I'm not thinking we will have many snacks to eat during the game.  This blog gets posted (normally) on Friday morning and I probably wont' decide about Sunday food until well, Sunday. 

Monday - Meatball Soup and French Bread

Tuesday - Lasagna and Garlic Bread

Wednesday - It is Valentine's Day!  It's also Youth Group Night so we won't have our normal Spaghetti Dinner.  Darryl and I will enjoy dinner together . . .. not sure what yet.  

Thursday - Amish Baked Chicken, Butter Noodles, and Roasted Green Beans
