(Oops - I forgot to post this!)  I wrote this on my phone one day while sitting in the car so 1) I didn't write anything exciting and 2) I couldn't "schedule" it so that is why it is just now posting!  

 Friday —. Tonight is our Co-Op Presentation Night so we will eat there and then have cereal at home if still hungry. 

Saturday - we are eating at Nanas!!! 

Sunday - roast, noodles, and green beans 

Monday -  we are spending the day with my nephew and his family so I’m not quite sure what we will end up doing for dinner. 

Tuesday - Swiss chicken supreme, stuffing and salad 

Wednesday — Shrimp and Grits and zucchini 

Thursday - I’m heading out to dinner with my Sunday School Class.  I plan on leaving Tacos/Nachos for my guys.

 We had an unexpected quiet week which was nice after some very busy weeks!  We didn't have appointments or out of the ordinary obligations plus normal things got cancelled too.  I enjoy those weeks a lot.  This next week, on the other hand, is super busy!  That's ok too though because there is alot of fun stuff included. 

Here's the plan for the week

Friday - After a busy day at Friday school and the fact that Joshua and Nate are headed to a Lock-in - we grabbed take out for dinner.  

Saturday - Joshua and Nate apparently have a busy social life because tonight they are headed out to dinner with our youth group and then to see a play where several of the youth are participating.  So, after dropping them off - Darryl and I are going out to dinner! 

Sunday - BBQ Cups and French Fries.  Something that is easy to get on the table after church. 

Monday - Spaghetti and Garlic Knots

Tuesday - Meatloaf and Mac and Cheese (I actually purchased pre-made meals from a local store to try) 

Wednesday - Joshua and Nate have youth group and eat there; Darryl has an MRI in town so he will eat between work and his appointment; I will eat something while youth group is going on. 

Thursday - Darryl and I are heading to a banquet at the camp that Nate goes to in the summer and Joshua and Nate will probably be treated to take out before we leave HA! 

A super easy week as far as cooking (thank goodness!)

 We have a snow day today and I just love snow days!  I made a new cake recipe today - if it is good, I'll share the recipe, if not, we can forget I mentioned it HA!  Here's the plan for the coming week.

Friday - I had made a bunch of Sausage Balls for one of my classes (Breakfast and Bingo) which is now moved to next week.  Yes, I can freeze them but I decided to use some tonight for dinner and make Buttermilk waffles, sausage balls, and fried potatoes. 

Saturday - We are going to my mom's for dinner!  2023 has brought lots of Saturdays with "things" going on so we enjoy when we have open Saturdays and can go to my moms :-) .  I think we are part of the "every other week club" right now! 

Sunday - Roast, Mashed Potatoes, and corn casserole.  This was on the menu for last week but was not used. 

Monday - Spaghetti and Garlic Knots 

Tuesday - Turkey and Bean Nachos.  (Ok, I use ground pork because we do not like ground turkey or chicken) 

Wednesday - Today is Pie Day so I am going to make a quiche, which is like a pie (it is in a pie plate with a pie crust, right??), banana bread and asparagus.  I might even make an actual pie too.  

Thursday - We are having our annual "St. Patrick's Day" dinner tonight as Joshua and Nate have a youth event on Friday.  Stuffed Cabbage in the crock pot, crash potatoes, Jello-Salad, and a St. Patrick's Day dessert (usually something with pudding!) 

Lots of good food this week :-)

 My last Dinnerly box was delivered this past week and I'm glad HA!  I stop following the recipes awhile ago and just use some of the main food items like veggies in other meals.  I have not been impressed this time around with the service at all and am glad it was through a grant with Nate's on-line school and not something I was personally paying for - but I will say that when I sent a complaint, they credited my account for the items that were bad in that box so the customer service is actually pretty good. 

Time slow down!  March is marching in quietly like a lamb but it is still Marching!!!  Uuugg.  I always look forward to the slow months at the beginning of the year but this year has not been slow.  

Here's what is on the plan for the coming week: 

Friday - Stuffed Shells, Garlic Bread, and green beans

Saturday - I'm supposed to go to a scrapbooking crop but the weather is not looking promising.  Either way my guys will have dinner at my mom's and if I don't get to go I will too! 

Sunday - Sunday Swiss Steak, Mashed Potatoes, and Corn

Monday - Beef Drip Sandwiches and Chips 

Tuesday: I will be heading to a Mom's Night Out with our homeschool group leaving my guys on their own again.  (Two weeks in a row!) I have spaghetti sauce in the freezer so I'll leave spaghetti for them for dinner. 

Wednesday - My guys have youth group and they get served dinner.  I usually eat in the car while I wait for them to be done and have soup at home for Darryl. 

Thursday - Swiss Chicken Breast Supreme with stuffing, green beans, and crescent rolls.

 Can you believe that we are hitting Match this week?  I. can. not.  Unlike most years, this year is NOT dragging.  I'm sure it is because we have had a super mild winter. (Well not this past week . .. )  Last week's entire menu changed.  With an incoming ice storm I knew that our mid-week plans would shift so I ended up needing to cook both Wednesday night for Darryl's birthday and Thursday night - the night we were going to celebrate Darryl's birthday!  It all worked out - just meant getting creative :-)  

So, what is the plan for the coming week?  Let me tell you (I know you can't wait HA!) 

Friday - We are getting Jet's Pizza!  This is what we were supposed to have Thursday Night - it was Darryl's request for his birthday dinner.  Due to the ice storm, we had to move it until tonight which is perfect because Pizza on a Friday is near perfection. 

Saturday - We are heading to my in-laws for the annual February Birthday Party. 

Sunday - Zuppa Tuscana Soup (Since I can put it in the crock pot before we leave for church!) and biscuits. 

Monday - Chili and Fritos.  We eat in shifts on Mondays so this is a good choice.  Plus the leftovers are great to throw in the freezer for an easy meal on another day. 

Tuesday - I'm heading out for dinner with my Sunday School Class.  I'll leave chicken strips and chips for the guys to eat in-between music lessons. 

Wednesday - Baked Pork Chops, cheesy potatoes and green beans (Hey, mom - want to come to dinner?)

Thursday - It is time for the community dinner where my guys serve with the youth group.  Darryl will probably eat leftovers as he is usually not home in time to go to the dinner.  

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!

 Even my weekly menu posts have been boring lately because of the Dinnerly program!  I'm trying to get back into a groove of blogging but January is a little bit of a reset month AND we were buried under the end of the semester so it was school, school, and more school!  February is here now though and we are currently ahead in school and things are just a little bit slower right now so many I can get back on track!  I always feel like January is the longest month of the year but not this year!  It flew right by.  I think it might be because the weather was super mild until this past week.  

Friday - We are back into the full swing of Friday School.  I saw a post from a group I follow and they shared a meal they had which looked good (and is easy).  So I think we will have sloppy joes, macaroni salad, and fruit.  

Saturday - Today we are attending a "Game and Tame Dinner" at our church.  We are not fans of the "game" portion (but I might try a few things) so I'm making Dr. Pepper Meatballs with beef (the "tame" part of the meal) so we will have something good to eat HA! 

Sunday - Crock Pot Fajitas - I love these because I can put them in the crock pot before we leave in the morning and they should be all ready to eat when we get home. 

Monday - We eat in shifts on Monday night so I try to plan something that can sit on the stove and be warmed up as needed.  Meatball Soup fits the bill along with some crusty French Bread.

Tuesday - It is Dinnerly time!  Pulled Chicken Tacos

Wednesday - It is Dinnerly time and Joshua and Nate will eat at Youth Group. It's BBQ Pork Sandwiches

Thursday - Another Dinnerly Meal - this one is steak and fries.  We have found that the steak is a little tough just to cook it up as steak so I'll probably throw it in the crock to cook low and slow and then cook up the potatoes - more like roast and potatoes :-)
