I am a day late getting my menu posted. I didn't post our menu last week but we didn't do too bad staying within the menu. This week I made our grocery list and menu. Budget wise I went over which was a bummer. I got some meat sales to stock up our freezer again. Here are some pictures of the meals I made last week. Pork Carnitas and BBQ Chicken with Macaroni and cheese and cole slaw.
Yesterday and this morning I got in this cooking mood. Yesterday I made blueberry pancakes for the freezer (Nathan loves blueberry pancakes). I also made Mike some breakfast meals for work. Made ham, cheese, and egg English muffin sandwiches and breakfast bowls that had eggs, O'Brien potatoes, spinach, and breakfast sausage. This morning I made Banana Bread. Then I made a mistake on a recipe. I made what was suppose to be Orange Blueberry Muffin tops (https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/orange-blueberry-muffin-tops-3908750). My mistake was I didn't read the recipe. I didn't space them out the way I was supposed to. I ended up taking them out of the oven and dumping it with the rest of the leftover batter into an 8x8 pan. It came out like a cake (as you can see in the picture further down the page). I drizzled the icing over it still. It was a hit with my grandbabies, Felicity and Nathan. Mike and I haven't tried it yet. Sent some home with Felicity and Laurisah. Here is the Breakfast bowl filling, Ham, Cheese, and egg English muffin sandwiches, Banana Bread and Orange blueberry "Cake"
Now it's on to our weekly menu of the week. It's a pretty simple menu for the week. But using some yummy recipes.
Monday:
I made Enchilada Casserole with salad. Also made guacamole. (https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/5-ingredient-ground-beef-enchilada-casserole/) This was really good. I also made homemade enchilada sauce because I didn't have any.
Tuesday:
Fish, Quiona (that is if the quinoa gets here in time for supper if it doesn't then tater tots.) and green beans
Wednesday:
Cheddar Chicken, Broccoli Risotto (will be made in my Quick cooker) and salad (https://www.pamperedchef.com/pws/sleclair/recipe/Main+Dishes/Gluten-Free/Quick+Cooker+Cheddar+Broccoli+Risotto+With+Chicken/1431996)
Thursday:
Hamburger and fries
Friday:
Leftovers (pizza)
Saturday:
Wings or Steak (potato something)
Sunday:
Laurisahs (Mississippi Roast, mashed potatoes, veggie, and dessert)
That is it for our menu this week. Excited about next week. We are leaving for Florida for almost two weeks.:) Nice break. I will be planning out our vacation menu. I will still be cooking because it's cheaper. I really don't mind cooking on vacation. Have a fabulous week everyone. :)
