Menu Plan Monday - 10/26/09

After spending last weekend with friends in a cabin, this week we have all been recovering from colds, fever and other yuck! So, next time we will get together well in advance of cold/flu season!

Pumpkin carving yesterday was fabulous! Chili and French Onion soup were prefect! (Carl made me carmelize the onions outside on the grill burner so it wouldn't make the house stink! LOL!)
Hopefully, the sickies are over and next week, I may be headed back to work! I will know more on Thursday. :-)

Menu Plan Monday - 10/19/09 - A Little Late!

The cabin weekend was great!!! The weather was a little cold but warmed up nicely the day we left! LOL!



The leaves were changing and falling. It was beautiful! The best things was spending time with our very good friends and their children.

We took pantry staples like spices and such, but bought everything perishable when we got there. The shopping trip was fun and we had a list so we only over bought on just a couple of splurge items. We were blessed and ate very well for the weekend!


We returned late on Monday and it's taken me a couple of days to catch up. Here's this weeks Menu Plan Monday on a Thursday! LOL!!!

Menu Plan Monday - 10/12/09

We've got a busy week coming up! We are headed to a cabin on a nice lake to spend the weekend with some excellent friends! Had a quick conversation with my friend about what to eat while we are there. We have to take all of the food so we're trying to keep it simple!

I substituted a lot this week, because our week changed around a lot, but I'm finding that is normal for us! LOL

So check out my plan for this week and also what threw me off plan last week below. :-)

HOW WE DID LAST WEEK of 10/5/09:


Monday: Leftovers because Moma has a meeting! This worked great. Kids also had Spaghetti O's and Raviolis. No cookin' for me!

Tuesday: Grilled Steak Kabobs (Outback seasoned)-Potato, veggie, mac n cheese (Recycled from last week). - Made it and ate it. Steak was GREAT! Instead of mac n cheese, I made a new Risotto recipe that used squash and peppers from the garden. It was ok. Not our new fave, but OK.

Wednesday: Cracker Crust Chicken, mashed potato, corn, gravy, bread (Recycled from last week). Got around really late so I just made fast Hamburger Rice.

Thursday: Flank Steak Fajitas w/ mexican rice (Recycled from last week). - Went to get my hair done in the late afternoon and then took my sister-in-law to Pizza Hut for keeping the girls for me.

Friday: Yakatori Chicken with rice and Egg Drop Soup - Weird night. The kids ate snacks late that kinda doubled for supper. Husband and I both had big, late lunches so we just didn't need supper. Kids ate some Chocolate Malt o Meal for a snack at about 8pm. LOL!

Saturday: Eating out. Moma's going scrappin' !!! - Did this. It was awesome!

Sunday: Baked Chicken Chimichangas (Taste of Home Pg 174) (Recycled from last week). - Really felt like potato soup. So that's what I made! LOL!
