Back to reality!

We also had a GREAT time in Winona!  The weekend was awesome, despite returning home to mid-80's, high humidity and an air conditioner that doesn't work.  Regardless, it is back to reality today!

First, Missy, I can't believe you not only had a menu, but you also blogged about it last night....  I clearly haven't kept up!

Anyway:
Yesterday - on your own/leftovers/Hamburger Helper from Mimi
Today - French's Onion Chicken (never made it last week, so the chicken is thawed).
Tuesday - Pulled Pork (in the freezer; thaw, heat and eat!)
Wednesday - Pasta/tortellini/ravioli
Thursday - Mimi's Birthday Dinner at the Fox and Hound
Friday thru Sunday - Jon is on call...  so... pizza? leftovers? wing it?  We have to clean out the fridge because we will be gone ALL NEXT WEEK Up North for the 4th of July!  WAHOOO!!

Take care of you and your littles!

Ok - refreshed after a weekend away with friends :)

Had a great weekend in Winona!!!  Feeling happier and energized after being away from home and the boys for a bit - despite coming home to a kid with Pink Eye.  ick.

SO here is the menu

Monday:  Lemon Pepper chicken with Brocolli on the side.

Tuesday:  Steak Tacos

WEdnesday:  Greek yogurt chicken, Glazed carrots.

Thursday:  Ranch Pork Chops

Friday: Grilled pizza if its nice outside.

Saturday:  Chicken Parmesan bundles.

Lots of chicken but it should work.

Im so tired.  Gotta go to bed.  It was so awesome seeing you this weekend!   Since you can't really complain about weather or your age, I wouldnt have changed a thing.  Take care! Glad you guys made it home safely!

I'm still waiting...

...for you to come back!  ;-)

Our menu was easy this week.  That's probably because I couldn't walk on Saturday so I had a lot of time to think about it!

Sunday was Father's Day - we grilled out.
Monday - we ate leftovers (there's still a lot left)
Tuesday - Beef and Cheese Enchiladas (made 2 pans, one for today and one for the freezer.  YAHOO!)
Wednesday - French's Onion Crispy Chicken - can't be too hard
Thursday - Chinese, either make our own or take-out
Friday - Somewhere in Winona ;-)
Saturday - WINONA!

Woo hoo!  Can't wait to see you!  I know you need the break and it will be lots of fun.  See you in 3 days!!!!

Getting back on Track

Alright, I'm nipping this in the bud and I'm going to get back on track.  Now that we have nice weather I have a hard time sitting down to make a food list and taking time to go grocery shopping AND cleaning my house.  Ugh, and I hate when everything is all disorganized - especially when the food list is what saves the most time!  Ok, ok, it doesnt help that Paul has had two man weekends in a row and has class Mondays and Wednesday and I have softball every Thursday but we will make it work!

So here we go:

Tuesday dinner - I have no idea
Wednesday dinner - no ideas
Thursday dinner - no idea
Friday dinner  - somewhere in WINONA!!!
Saturday dinner - WINONA!
Sunday dinner - Celebrate Fathers Day since my dad was gone.

Alright, three nights, I can do it.  But I have to put my kids to bed first.  I figured if I'd start here I would  come back to finish.  1, 2, 3........i'll be back :)

WAHOO!!! What a week it will be!

For the second week in a row, I am on track.  Laundry done (I am even working on sheets now), menu made and I am running (13.1 on Saturday - eek!)!  It must be second trimester...

Missy, I like what you are doing - making dinner from what you have in the house.  I hate grocery shopping. I hate grocery shopping last minute even more and what I hate most is the it's-4-o'clock-and-I-don't-know-what-to-eat and nothing-is-thawed routine.  So....  here goes!

Sunday - Dinner at the Miller's (last post I said that was supposed to be Saturday, but it didn't happen so we made calzones).
Monday - Chicken Quesadillas
Tuesday - Jalapeno Sausage braid (using sausages that have been in our freezer forever).
Wednesday - Baby Day!  BOY OR GIRL??? Something fast since my ultrasound is late and we won't be home until even later.  My favorite, Tastefully Simple Beef Stroganoff
Thursday - CARB LOADING DAY! Spaghetti with meat sauce (using meat from the freezer).
Friday - Dinner at Polish Fest.  Welcome to Festival Season!
Saturday - Since I am "racing" in the morning, I am guessing I will be out of commission for the day.  I will not be cooking.  Maybe we can go out (or pick up) nice fatty, greasy burgers?

Have a wonderful week!

Back on Track!

The checkbook is balanced.  The bills are paid.  The house is straight.  AND I HAVE A MENU!

Sunday: On Your Own (Girls trip to Ikea in Shaumburg, IL; Guys are golfing.  No idea when dinner will be.)
Monday: Buffalo Chicken Ranch Pasta
Tuesday: Caprese Stuffed Burgers
Wednesday: Zatarain's Jambalaya
Thursday: On Your Own (Daddy is going to the Brewers Game).
Friday: Tastefully Simple Mediterranean Fish (Surprisingly amazing!)
Saturday: Dinner at the Millers?  Leftovers?

YUM!  Have a great week and an even better weekend!
