I had a very busy week last week. DD and DH were at camp. DH is the director, so I help with organizing the registration forms, compiling lists, etc. I also make the camp “yearbook.” That’s 11 pages, printed both sides, full of camp pictures. It’s a special treat for the campers, but lots of […]
This picture of DD checking the mail for her NetFlix movie was taken a few days ago. One of those sunny days we had last week…today is cloudy and cool. But spring is here. Daffodils are blooming, tree buds are swelling, the grass is turning green. A few more sunny days and the yard will […]
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 […]
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. […]
