Wow, where did the year go?  This is the last menu I will be posting for 2018.  Here is our menu for this week.  I don't post breakfast because I usually do not eat breakfast and for lunches, we usually eat leftovers from the night before.  I do have snacks planned for this week which I will post at the bottom of this weeks menu.  We are starting keto/Trim healthy mama ( I was doing this past summer and just went off but going back on this week.)

Menu for December 17th-23rd

Wow only a week away from Christmas.  Where does the time go? I did ok following last weeks menu.  Some days I did end up changing.  The new recipe that I tried from https://www.rachelcooks.com/2016/03/23/cornish-game-hen-recipe-sherry-orange-rosemary/  was really good.

  I never had cornish hens before.  They were super yummy and very moist.  It's perfect for small families.  I didn't get to the Chicken Au Champagne yet.  That will be on the menu for today.  Saturday we did wings and fries instead of the taco salad.  I also tried a few desserts.  Some were good and one recipe I had to throw away.  It was nasty.  Recipes do not always turn out as planned.  I may have to pick up a few items but the goal this week is not to do any shopping until this weekend for Christmas.  Here is the new menu for this week.

Monday:
Chicken au champagne (https://www.rachelcooks.com/2016/03/23/cornish-game-hen-recipe-sherry-orange-rosemary/)
Orzo pasta (https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/228131/parmesan-garlic-orzo/)
Vegetable of some sort

Tuesday:
Freezer meal or get something from the store. Nathan has an orthodontist appointment. We also plan on doing some shopping.  Has to be an easy meal.:)

Wednesday:
Spaghetti

Thursday:
Garlic Chicken
Rice
Corn

Friday:
Leftovers

Saturday:
Buffalo Chicken wraps
Fries

Sunday:
Leftovers or pizza

Challenge this week is to only get a few items and then shop this weekend for meals for next week.  I hope everyone has a great week.:)

Menu for Dec.10th- Dec.16th

This past week I didn't go strictly by the menu as was planned.  I had things in the fridge that I needed to use up and Mike wanted different things then from what was planned.  You learn to be flexible not just in life but also when it comes to meal plans.  That's why its so important for me to have my freezer, pantry and refrigerator stocked so I can change if I need to.  When meal planning check and see what you have on hand.  Then you can make a grocery list to fill in where needed.  This week I am using mostly what I have in the freezer but I also plan on cooking some new recipes that I have found for a project I am working on.  Here is the menu for the week.  It may change throughout the week depending on how things go.

Monday:
Maybe a crockpot meal

Tuesday:
Cornish game hens (new recipe for the project)
Mashed potatoes (trying this recipe: https://www.rachelcooks.com/2017/11/21/brown-butter-slow-cooker-mashed-potatoes/)
Corn
https://www.rachelcooks.com/2016/03/23/cornish-game-hen-recipe-sherry-orange-rosemary/
