Happy Monday everyone! First of all, thank you for the good thoughts and wishes on my post on Friday. This week I should get some answers and fingers crossed these health things are not a big deal. I do appreciate the thoughts.
The weekend has come and gone. It was an okay weekend here. Jacob had his last indoor track meet (Rebecca also volunteered to help at that meet) and we got to go to that. Then it was home to do laundry, putter around the house and watch some TV and just go at a slow pace. It was much needed. I got some more decluttering done.
We also had some wild weather-- including thunder, heavy rain, freezing rain, sleet, ice, etc. When I took the trash out Saturday night their was ice hanging on the tree branches. Thankfully, yesterday the temperatures rose. It is supposed to be a crazy weather week here so we shall see what this week brings.
This week also marks the beginning of play practice for Rebecca, doctors appointments, etc so meals will be easy, quick, able to be made the night before.... I think you get the picture. So having a meal plan is going to be essential over the next few weeks, even more so than normally. So let's see what we are going to be eating....

LOL, I am always eating baked chicken! We have slaw, boiled cabbage, salads.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm…We had a roast chicken dinner one night. Then a pot pie with the leftovers the next night. I also ran into corned beef on sale so we had that slow cooked with cabbage, potatoes and carrots and a Guinness. Of course, buying the Guinness offset the savings in the corned beef, but it tastes so much better than cooking it in water. Saturday was fish and chips with homemade coleslaw. Sunday was slow cooker pulled pork on homemade rolls with leftover coleslaw. I also baked a copycat Nothing Bundt cake with peanut butter piping.
ReplyDeleteI have leftover pot pie leftover pork, leftover meatloaf, but not enough of any for a meal.
I think tonight I will fix a tuna casserole (sans pes)) because I am not in the mood to cook. Honestly , it’s not the cooking, it’s the deciding what to make, with people who offer no suggestions. Then there’s my husband who claims he will microwave the leftovers for lunch, so I leave them for him for the next day, but he can never seem to find the leftovers in the refrigerator! (Once the last kid graduated from hs, I stopped making breakfasts and lunches unless someone wanted a lunch packed to take to campus on a lab day, or to their summer job. I am perfectly willing to take responsibility for making sure food is available for those meals. I am not willing to take responsibility for preparing those meals. They’re all adults.)
Now BAKING???? That is something I never tire of, at any point. I even love poring over my cookbooks to figure out what to bake with ingredients on hand!

Haven't been keeping up as well as I should, I'll have to go read your Friday post. Hope all is well! We're having what I'm calling
ReplyDeleteSad Super Bowl leftovers tonight, then lots of winter type meals for the rest of the week. Plus I'm hoping to cook a couple extra meals for the freezer but we'll see. Hope you have a great week!
