Yep workin’ on the Sunday do’s. I got a little extra done. I canned for the first time. Some praline syrup which I think would be good on ice cream, brie, pancakes. Yum. Still working on the laundry. Well to be honest. Way behind on the laundry.



A super fun burn of my time today. Driving to walgreen’s I won a basket of goodies from Walgreen’s. I bought some mascara and eyeliner and I was entered in a drawing. Wooho! So went to pick it up. I am not sure in any way what to do with some of this stuff. So we shall see, but makeup it is so expensive it is fun to get it in a basket and tinker and then decide. WOW not so me! Haha.



And a few weeks ago I was asked to post my menus if I have time as they would help others when planning is stressful. Very interesting hadn’t thought about it. So here is this coming weeks. Not a lot of great new recipe attempts, but a lot of use of our bountiful basket. Hope you can use it.



*****************************





Sunday night. – grilled burgers and grilled corn (bbasket)



Monday - Spaghetti & Noodles ( Hubby will be gone and he is not a fan of red sauce. So easy for kiddo and I. Going to add mushrooms (bbasket) and meat to the sauce to add a little punch to it. And fresh shredded mozarella)



Tuesday - Make your own as I plan to work on canning applesauce and pie filling. Cooking dinner will be my last thought (So might thaw out some bratwurst we have so the hubby can grill and maybe the corn from the basket)



Wednesday - Grilled Chicken & Whipped Butternut squash and Tinfoil apples (bbasket) warmed on the grill. Gonna make all the butternut squash up and have the leftover for lunch for me for the next few days.



Thursday - If not, Salmon, Salad(bbasket) & Rice



Friday – Possibly movie night at school (If not, Fajitas: green and red bell pepers (bbasket), onion in pan) Marinate meat and grill. Have to see if I can get some tamales to compliment this)





Rough Shopping list:

Hamburger meat

Burger fixins

Corn on the cob

Spaghetti noodles

Noodles sauce

Mozarella cheese to shred

Bratwurst

Sauerkraut ?

Bread/buns for burgers and bratwurst

Chicken

Butternut squash

Cream

Butter

Salmon

Salad fixing (whatever is left from basket fixings)

Rice

Tortillas

La crema media

Red green peppers

Onion

Fajita seasoning
Vegetarian Beans

Cheddar Cheese

Meat for fajitas





Just a quick list of needs and the nice thing…. I have everything but the salmon. Woohoo!!! But however we might be out of cheddar cheese by Friday as my kiddo is cheese maniac. Ahhh. As am I. so he comes by it honest. I am gonna call and beg my Dad for some curds on his next visit.



Love that!



Enjoy your week!

Chris

Looks like a great menu, we do the same thing. I do this so I can make sure we have everything for the week on our grocery trip. ;)

Cheese is my husbands favorite snack, then buttered popcorn.

This is a great idea. I need more menu ideas.

We are having to change to a diabetic menu. Any one have some meals for that.

I volunteered with the ADA for years and years... They always preached fresh, simple, non complex in moderation foods. :0)

Yep, we are working on the fresh part, redoing the garden will be planting seeds this week.

We have a 8 hour class at the hospital on wed. So hoping we learn a lot there.

Mom attended on of these classes, she said it was good and bad. But they tell you about a cookbook and it was good. Look at the book stores or online for more recipes. ;)

Wish I had gotten my grandma's diabetic recipes and cookbooks now. Hubby was tested for sugar and it is high ion urine but blood test says not a diabetic. Figured he should just watch what he eats to be sure.;)
