The menu plan was pretty much a flop the second half of last week. I had intended on getting to the store Thursday for the odds and ends ingredients I needed for various dishes, and, well, that didn’t happen for a myriad of reasons. So, I may ‘borrow’ a couple of those dinners for this [...]

I’ve yet to come up with an unusual and extraordinary recipe calling for pureed carrots, so poor Darling Husbie has been san dessert all week. Well, except for the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups he had…and finishing off the Cinnamon Blue Bunny Ice Cream. So, I’m still on the lookout and will let you know if [...]

I can’t believe I just typed that ~ April. How did that happen? Anyway, I did pretty well with sticking to the menu last week. There weren’t too many unscheduled interruptions, with the exception of grocery shopping later in the week than I’d planned, so I swapped Wednesday and Friday around. I made the banana [...]

I think I lost a week. Yep. I’m pretty sure we just skipped right over last week. That’s not good. I need every minute of every day! The only thing I remember about last week was baking the Chocolate Strawberry Cake. It was delicious, and I’m thinking about trying it this week with a banana [...]

Monday ~ Baked Italian Herb Chicken; Baked Potato; Green Beans; Corn on the Cob Tuesday ~Dirty Rice; Tossed Salad; Texas Toast Wednesday ~ [...]

Okay, does anyone else feel like time slips by faster and faster as each week goes by? Seriously. I don’t think I’d notice it so much if Mondays didn’t happen. Monday rolls around and I have to plan the week’s menu, but I swear I just did this a couple of days ago. I can [...]

I’m not sure why I even made a menu plan last week ~ unless my plan was to fail. Out of seven meals planned, I think I only made two of them. It’s all sort of a blur, but I think last week was something one would envision while defining ‘fiasco.’ By the looks of [...]

I seem to be having some of that bad kitchen karma going on again ~ it seems everything I attempt to make turns into a flop. Although, I may have broken the streak yesterday, as the Chicken and Dumplings were delicious. Such a welcomed comfort food, they are. Monday ~ Mesquite Grilled Pork Chops; Garlic [...]

Another week, another menu. I’ve been doing pretty well with sticking with the plan. Circumstances sometimes create changes, but it is still so helpful to at least feel pretend like I know what I’m doing! Monday ~ Cashew Chicken; Jasmine Rice Tuesday ~ Kielbasa; Fried Potatoes with Onions; Green Beans with Cashew Pieces Wednesday ~ [...]
