Menu Plan Monday July 29

What happened to July?

This week is our trifecta of wedding anniversaries.  My sister got married on Aug 1st, then I got married on July 31st, then my cousin got married on July 30th.

 

So go ahead.  Party hard this week and celebrate this week with us.
Sometimes I think Monday should be Food-Photo Day.

I love taking pictures of Baby Sid eating.  I think cause he loves to eat so much.

Menu Plan Monday May 27

On Saturday I was walking in from the garage and threw out my back.

I wasn’t even carrying any laundry!

I would try to stretch my back out, trying to put things back, doing some yoga.

Every time I would lie on the floor I would have some visitors.

Ian asks “canna I sit on your back an put my feets on your arms?”

There was a point when I had to crawl down the hall pushing a laundry basket.  It was pathetic.

But alas, life goes on as does motherhood.  Ian keeps asking if my back is better, but then forgets and asks me to pick him up.  He then has sympathy pains and tells me his back hurts too.  He is such a great kid!

Mr Hubby is leaving town on Wed to do some fishing with Da Boys.  So I decided to cook things I know Ian will eat.  Hopefully this will make my life a little easier.

Menu Plan 7/15-721

Mon: Spaghetti with garlic bread

Tue: Easy Beer Mac & Cheese with chicken

Wed: Baked Ravioli 

Thr: Tacos

Fri: Caesar Chicken Burgers with pasta salad 

Sat:

Sun: Garlic & Rum Grilled Pork Chops with Pepper Jack Potatoes 

Happy Cooking

Menu Plan Monday July 8

Did you have a nice 4th of July holiday?

I had all four days off.  Thursday to Sunday.

Monday is going to be a bitch going back to work.

We were supposed to go out-of-town, but decided not to.  While I am sad we didn’t, I am also glad because it is a lot of work to get ready to go and then unpack when we get home.

We had a great weekend right here at home.

Obviously this was not Ian’s first 4th of July, nor was it his first experience seeing fireworks, but it was his first time doing fireworks himself.

Ian’s first time with sparklers

(Please excuse the brown patch in my mom’s grass, it was from the slip n’ slide)

He did sparklers at my mom’s house with his cousins and after dark we set off some fountains at home.  He had a great time.

It was Baby Sid’s first 4th, but he didn’t partake in the fireworks.  He liked watching his cousins, but was in bed before we did the ones at home.

Because I had made this months menu plan ahead of time I was able to do my shopping on Saturday night.

Yep.  Saturday night.  I really know how to have a good time.  Kids in bed and I am at the grocery store.

Rockin’ it.

Menu Plan 7/8-7/14

Mon: French Dip Sandwiches (From leftover Sunday roast)

Tue: Parmesan Crusted Pesto Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Tomato Basil Soup

Wed: Sweet & Spicy Bacon Chicken with garlic noodles 

Thr: Philly Cheese Steak Sloppy Joes

Fri: Easy Garlic Chicken with Creamy Bacon Pasta

Sat:

Sun: Cajun Chicken Stuffed with Spinach and Pepper Jack Cheese, Blistered Green Beans and Rice Pilaf 

Hopefully it won’t be too hot to cook this week.

Happy Cooking
