It’s Monday and that means….
admin

It’s Monday again.  We had a busy week last week with the Princess’s birthday and an out of town trip to celebrate.  I love the estivities, but it means that my usual weekend tasks of menu planning and grocery shopping have been put off until today.

This week, I’m going to be cooking from “Dinner Made Easy”.  It’s a great service from Betty Crocker.com that focuses on getting dinner on the table quickly.  I’ve been getting their e-mail newsletter for a while, but thought that maybe it was time to give a few recipes a try.

Monday
Southwest Chicken Skillet

I might serve it with spanish rice or corn (Littlebit’s favorite) but it really is a fairly complete meal.
Tuesday

Slow cooker pork chops with cherry apple stuffing and veggies

Wednesday
Chicken breasts with creamy mushroom gravy, asparagus and fresh bread


Thursday

Tamale Pot pie and veggies
Friday

Bacon wrapped filet mignon, crash hot potatoes and veggies and onion rings.

Saturday

Pizza Night!

Menu Plan Monday
admin

Can I say that Once a Month cooking rocks!  I can?  Sweet.  It does and I just said it.  I probably said it last week too,but I’m saying it again.  I thought that spending two weeks cooking and doubling meals made the two weeks off worth it, but in truth, that was totally counter productive and a waste of work.   If I was going to have another kid, I’d probably name her (because we don’t make boys) Once a Month Mom.

So, it makes my menu planning pretty easy

Monday

Chicken Marsala, pasta and asparagus

Tuesday

soccer practice

Beef Stew and fresh bread

Wednesday

Mexican cornbread casserole and salad

Thursday

soccer practice

Deconstructed broccoli stuffed chicken breasts and veggies

On the go with previous plans for the weekend.

Last week, I noted that we were having caramel apple pork chops for dinner.  They were pretty. I wish I’d have taken a picture, but they were so good all of us sort of inhaled them.  I guess 800+ reviews and an overall rating of 4.5 stars on allrecipes.com really does mean something.  It means yummy.

What’s For Dinner-Week of July 19th
Little Mama

We don’t have so much summer bounty going on here. My homemade topsy turveys are growing but the plants look a little stunted so I’m not sure they’ll ever produce. We’ll see. The only thing I’m growing with any success is lavender and weeds.


Sunday- TBD, but something fresh on the grill
MondayItalian Style Pizza Potpie with Salad
Tuesday-Easy Chicken Scallopini and Orzo toss
WednesdayCrockpot Chicken and Dressing with sugar snap peas
Thursday-Lemony Chicken and Rice
FridayPizza and movie night
Saturday-The Princess goes to stay with my Dad and his girlfriend for a week, so we’ll meet them for dinner halfway between here and there.

We’re going to try making refrigerator pickles this week. My grandparents always had jars of these little beauties in their refrigerators during the summer time. I found this recipe on cookinglight.com and it seems pretty simple and sounds pretty good and makes me think of childhood summers. Because I love Big Daddy I might try the dilled green beans too. Thinking about trying Angry Chicken’s suggestion for iced too.
