Every spring, when the crocus bloom, I wish I’d purchased more bulbs the fall before. Can’t have too many harbingers of spring, can one? This week looks like a fairly quite one, as far as the calendar is concerned. I didn’t have to plan the menu around any major events, which is nice for a […]
This weekend we did some eagle watching on the Mississippi River. We saw quite a few eagles, but the gulls were closer. Here’s the menu for the week. Monday Tomato Soup with White Beans and Bacon Toasted Cheese Sandwiches Tuesday Tacos Wednesday Hamburgers on homemade buns Roasted Green Cabbage Wedges Corn Red Grapes Thursday Rosemary […]
Saturday, we had snow in shady places around the yard. Sunday, the snow was gone. That’s what two days of over 50 weather will do for you. Love it! I made the menu last week, but changed a few things before posting to make it work for what the week actually holds. Monday Cheeseburger Soup […]
This morning we were greeted by gray clouds and more snow. Somewhere out there, the crocus are waiting to bloom. I hope you enjoyed your Valentine celebrations. I was sick over the weekend with a yucky stomach bug, but I finally enjoyed a few Valentine treats late in the afternoon on Sunday…and had a few […]
DD turned 12 this weekend. How’d that happen?? Time flies… Anyhoo, we celebrated on her birthday with a little cheesecake and celebrated her birthday the next day with family (and the “real” cake). We’re expecting more snow today and tomorrow, so I’m taking that into account when planning the menu. Monday Tacoritos Tuesday Baked Salmon […]
We still have snow, though the temps are supposed to be a bit warmer this week. I think I’ll start the menu off with soup. Just the thing for cold weather. Monday Cheesy Potato/Sausage Soup Rosemary Crackers Tuesday Bacon-Chicken Provolone Sandwiches Oven Fried Potato Wedges Grapes Wednesday Maple Mustard BBQ Pork Chops Baby Baked Potatoes […]
Best food news this week? Fresh cherries are in! Yeah! DH requested tilapia for the menu, so that’s up first. I didn’t get to the Applebee’s Oriental Chicken Salad or the Sweet Mustard Roast last week, so am including them on this menu. Last week, we had Chinese take-out one evening instead of making supper […]
I’m trying some new recipes this week. I’ll let you know how we like them. Monday Hearty Lentil Soup Tuesday Bacon-Provolone Chicken Sandwiches oven fried potato wedges grapes Wednesday stuffed shells Florentine garlic bread green salad Thursday sweet mustard roast Cauliflower and Potato Gratin stir-fried sugar snap peas with cherry tomatoes corn Friday Applebee’s Oriental […]
I start taking down Christmas this week. Finished the laundry room and the downstairs bath. I hate to do it, but the fresh look of the room when all the holiday decorations are gone is rather inspiring. Nothing major planned for the week other than putting away decorations, so I’m trying a few new recipes […]
After a house full of company and multiple parties, we are finally getting back to a regular schedule. Our little duet and their family went home Saturday. Our older girls are leaving for their home today and our youngest daughter is back to school, so the house is quiet and I’m taking it easy today. […]
