Menu Planner with a cut and carry shopping list

This is something I created a few years ago when my girls first started helping in the kitchen.

I need to get back to using it!

Anyway, feel free to download and use to your heart’s content.

Happy Friday!

Menu Plan Monday

We finally have RAIN!

It’s been several weeks since we had rain, so we’re excited now maybe we can have a bonfire soon!  That’s one of our favorite cool weather activities.  There’s nothing like eating roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, while wrapped up in a blanket, and sitting around an open fire.

We like to go by the Ultimate Camp Resource website for great bonfire games and stories.   Check’m out for your next bonfire!

Menu Plan Monday

It’s beginning to have that Autumn feel in the air and it makes planning my weekly menu a little easier.

.

I get to use my crock pot more often, too.

Soup, Chili, and Stew are more welcome on cool nights and how I adore a one pot meal that can cook all day while I’m at work.  I love to come home to the smell of supper being cooked.  I know my evening will be a little less hectic.

.

Monday – Vegetable Beef Soup (Will be made in crock pot this time.  Veggies may vary. No cornbread for me.)

Tuesday - Enchiladas

Wednesday – Cheddar Onion Burgers

Thursday – Sauteed Cabbage with Bacon

Friday – Steak and Onion Salad

Happy Easter! and my 100th post!!!

Due to family sickness and a very busy weekend, we’re having a simplified Easter meal.

For the past couple years, we’ve gone to a local restaurant, but it’s just not the same as a good home cooked meal spent in a relaxed atmosphere with family.  Good times!

Here’s our tentative menu:

Brisket or Baked Ham

Green Beans

Creamed Corn

Layered Green Salad

Yeast Rolls

Million Dollar Pie

Butterfinger Pie

Brownies

…

Happy Easter to you and yours!

As I was checking out my WP Dashboard I noticed that this is my

100th post! 

In the near future, I hope to have a giveaway to celebrate this small milestone.  Stay tuned!
