Our Daily Bread: 28 June ~ 04 July
Posted By FarmerJ on June 29, 2010
It was so nice having a menu to work from last week ~ not having to put much thought into what to make from day to day. No worries about having to remember. Just read the menu and prepare accordingly. The only problem seems to be the days going by much too quickly!
Unfortunately, the compressor in the air conditioning unit died and it will be 5 – 10 days before the new one arrives from the manufacturer. So, I have a feeling the majority of our meals will be prepared either on the grill or in the crock pot. Either that, or I’ll prepare them early in the morning while it’s still cool and then just reheat at dinner time.
Monday ~ Buttermilk Chicken Tender Strips; Mashed Potatoes; Sugar Snap Peas
Tuesday ~ Not My Mama’s Meatloaf; Glazed Carrots; Tossed Salad [possibly leftover mashed potatoes]
Wednesday ~ Smoked Sausage; Homemade Macaroni and Cheese; Sauteed Yellow Squash and Zucchini
Thursday ~ Coney Island Hotdogs [didn't have them last week]; Homemade Freedom Fries; Tossed Salad
Friday ~ Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas; Refried Beans; Spanish Rice; Tossed Salad
Saturday ~ Cheeseburgers; Cowgirl Beans; Sweet Corn; Green Beans
Sunday ~ T-Bone Steak; Baked Potatoes; Sweet Corn; Sugar Snap Peas; Tossed Salad
For dessert, I think I’ll bake a Mexican Fruitcake ~ not anything like the traditional fruitcake you get at Christmas. That can be our special treat while celebrating Independence Day! I’m also fairly certain I am going to attempt making some Deep Fried Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ~ everyone is gearing up for the State Fair, and this says ‘Fair Food’ all over it! Darling Husbie will undoubtedly request a pie or two somewhere in there, too.

Looking thru your menus…..What time is dinner? Mom
Well…that greatly varies from day to day during the summer here at the Farmstead. Tonight, dinner was served at 10:00 p.m. ~ but you know you’re welcome any time!
