Menu Plan ~ Bring on the Summer Food!

May 23, 2010

School’s out.  T-ball and softball practice have started.  The temperature is rising and the wind is blowing.  It’s time for some summer food!

Menu Plan, Week of December 6

December 6, 2009

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas… Good grief, I can’t get warm today!  The weather warnings have begun, although all there is to see is cold and dreary right now.  As far as I’m concerned, if it’s going to be cold and miserable it may as well snow so we at least have [...]

Menu Plan, February 16

February 15, 2009

I’ve really done it now. With last night’s delicious Valentine’s Day supper of Aussie Chicken, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, and Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle, I’ve given up any reason for Lance to take me out to eat ever again.  He said that mine tasted better than The Outback’s.  Oh, well… now I know I can have [...]

Menu Plan ~ Valentine’s Week

February 8, 2009

It’s good to have a plan… it’s good to have a plan…  That’s what I keep repeating to myself today, as my week flew out of control in the middle of the night, before it even got started!  My father-in-law was in a horrible 4 wheeler accident yesterday afternoon.  As of right now we know [...]
