Weekly Menu

 Now that I have the list of my families favorite meals I am working on a binder to keep meal planning a little more functional.  I saw a video online of someone’s binder and it just seemed to “fit”.  Each day has a different “theme” but recipes can fit into multiple themes.  I’m still putting it together but when it’s done I’ll share it ๐Ÿ˜Š


So, Here’s the plan for the coming week: 

Friday: I’m heading out of town.  We also joke that if I leave the guys will starve and have no clothes to wear ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ it’s really just a joke because they are all self sufficient at this point (I’ve raised them well - well, at least the teenagers!  ๐Ÿคท‍♀️๐Ÿคช).  BUT I love them lots so I'm leaving Sloppy Joes in the crock pot for them to enjoy along with baked beans and chips

Saturday - I’m still gone!  They have $$ to eat dinner out - their choice! 

Sunday - I come home but I’m not sure what time.  To keep things simple I left chocked ready for the crockpot before they leave for church.  They can enjoy chicken taco bowls when they get home.  

Monday - Dr.Pepper meatballs and Rice 

Tuesday - my guys will both be gone so Darryl and I will enjoy the last two pasties in the freezer (then I’ll need to buy more!) 

Wednesday - I think maybe both teens are gone again.  If so, Darryl and I might grab something out.  If not, soup and grilled cheese! 

Thursday - Amish baked chicken, butter noodles, and zucchini
