Tonight is leftover night...I went out to get Cate some food and found this on the dinner table instead...
Cate and her dad were busy making snowmen. It was so cute. Hey, if there's no dinner on the table, this sure is a good substitute.
By the way - several of you have commented in the last few weeks about using my recipes (beef stew, tostada goop for enchiladas, pizza dough, to name a few...check the Recipes: Main Dishes page for recipes). I love the positive feedback and I'm so happy the recipes are working for you - yea! :)
I have a LOT of carry-overs on my menu from last week...I think I must have been half asleep when I went to the grocery store since I forgot half my ingredients! You may be wondering what we ate at all, and, to be honest, I don't really remember. We didn't starve, so that's good.
MONDAY:
- Either hamburgers or BBQ pork
- Chips
- Salad
TUESDAY:
- Beef Stew (Cate's current favorite)
WEDNESDAY:
- Pat's Oriental Chicken Salad
- Mini egg rolls (from the frozen food aisle, of course!)
THURSDAY:
- Leftovers
FRIDAY:
- Breakfast for dinner
- Fruit
- Hashbrowns
SATURDAY:
- Eat out
SUNDAY:
- Chicken Salad sandwiches
- Chips
- Fruit & Salad
Share your menus! And, if you haven't entered the ProFlowers giveaway, you have a few more hours... :)
