I like to have a basic idea of what my family is going to
eat during the week. This works for me because if I don’t have a plan for meals
we usually eat out. That gets expensive
really fast for my family of 6 adults. I am also a list girl. I like to see what needs to be done and more
importantly I like to cross stuff off with pretty colored markers J I use to make my menu’s according to days of
the week but this got complicated for my OCD brain when I didn’t want to make
spaghetti on Wednesday; now I number them J I also like dessert so most dinners have one
but I don’t plan for breakfasts or lunches.
My kids are older teenagers and young adults, I just have to keep enough
staples on the shelves to feed them at grazing times.
The weather has turned a wee bit chilly here in Texas which
is perfect time to make some soup and bread.
I will also toss in some comfort foods that are perfect for chilly
nights.
1. Sausage
and tortellini soup with toast with misc. cookies and ice cream
2. Fried chicken,
mashed spuds, veggie with cream puffs for dessert
3. Split pea
and ham soup with grilled cheese sannys with caramel cupcakes to completely
over stuff yourself
4. Breakfast
dinner, French toast, sausage and eggs.
No dessert on breakfast nights
5. Chicken
casserole using up leftovers from the fried chicken and salad with chocolate
mousse cups for dessert to make it special
6. Meatloaf
night, ick, but everyone else eats it and hubby cooks it can’t argue with that.
Hubby has requested baked spuds and salad to go with this feast. I will make a
chocolate pie to round out the night
.
7. MIY night! Clean out the leftovers or Make
It Yourself
