Really, Halloween on a Monday? I know Halloween falls on a work/school night 5 times out of 7 but Monday? I call Trick! With that poor calendering, I opted for a simple menu tonight, working in birthday, hockey, and the fact that the first winter cold of the season has settled into the household. Crock [...]

Ok, Sorry! Yes, I got this up late, my apologies. I should say it’s a mellow week, the husband has late business meetings all week so he won’t be home for dinner, no hockey, and very few appointments. Of course, it never works out that way does it? You give your schedule a bit of [...] October 26th, 2011 | Category: menu | Leave a comment
Another week, another menu! Indian summer messes with me. My internal clock says it’s time for cool weather and savory foods, the skies above think it’s still time for margaritas and cool crisp salads. I’ve got a mix of things going, since it is still awesome grilling weather. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Last week, in a misguided fit over my children being lame, I didn’t make a dinner menu. There is nothing like being equally stupid to make you pull your big girl pants back on. Dinner was frequently late because nothing was defrosted, or even purchased! Lunches were a mess because I didn’t have food cooked [...] It’s a crazy time of year, as we ramp back up into school, sports, activities and the last camping trips as Autumn takes hold. My brain and body are telling me it’s time for stews, casseroles and warm savory dishes designed to keep back the cold and uplift us in the fading light.
My weather forecast [...] The last half of last week was filled with Wedding Festivities. 4 straight days of not having to plan, cook or clean up. It was good. This week however, is back to our usual state of madness. Pro hockey, hockey tournament, the ballet, you name it, we’ll probably be at it! So to feed this very [...] Last week was Thanksgiving. One whole week centered around one meal. Really it’s all about cooking one day and eating it for 4. Here we are on Monday and I STILL have turkey left over. I’m not complaining, I’m calling it LUNCH! However others are not so enamored with turkey any more, so [...] I’m so on the menu this week! The new Whole Foods is open near my house so I only have to drive 10 minutes for healthy vegetable goodness, not 30, and it’s about time too because the other local chain store’s produce section has been getting progressively worse as Whole Foods was closer to opening.

Wow, I didn’t post last week! Life gets busy and I guess that fell by the wayside. I did have my weekly menu though! We’d probably never eat if I didn’t take the time to plan the dinner meals. This week is busy with the husband gone and the usual mad rush of activities. [...] I think I’ve mentioned, I get bored easily. The same foods over and over wear thin quickly for me, so I’m usually trying to throw new things in and trying stuff out. My kids don’t appreciate this as much. They’ve requested “simpler” meals. Grilled Steak, baked potatoes and a salad 3x a [...] |
