Meal Planning July 10 - 16

Greetings all!  I realize there have been some issues with comments on my blog - I am working with blogger to resolve those and hope to have it working again soon!  Below is our menu plan for this week - it is a little different than most because the girls are having a sleep over at grandma's one night and then we are having a staycation of sorts - instead of taking the girls far we are going to do local things like the beach, movies, pool etc - my only stipulation was no cooking for at least 3 of those days!  Happy eating all!

Breakfasts:
  • Brunch at the Orange Mining Co. (Happy Birthday Bro! and thank you for choosing some great food)
  • Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Honey Dew Melon, Yogurt
  • Bagels w/cream cheese & strawberry jam, scrambled eggs, peaches
  • Breakfast at grandma's - so we will probably each eat something different.
  • Oatmeal w/raisins, orange juice, peanut butter on a spoon
  • Pepperoni Omelette's, Toast w/jam, honey dew melon
  • French Toast, Eggs, Blackberries
Lunches:
  • Hot Dogs and Nachos at an Angel Game (healthy I know)
  • Lunch @ Grandma's!
  • Chicken Quesadillas, honey dew melon, corn
  • Loaded Salad for mama, pasta with butter for kids, carrots and ranch
  • Peanut Butter Sandwiches, blackberries, bell pepper sticks in ranch
  • Egg Salad Sandwiches, Goldfish Crackers, Honey Dew, Bell Pepper Sticks
  • Fried Bologna Sandwiches, Salads, Whatever Fruit is left
Dinners:

Garden Update

Image
We had an awesome week - weather wise - until the weekend then we got slammed by wind.  Thankfully we didn't sustain any major damage (although our patio cover tried to fly across the yard and we had to anchor it down better).  The garden is a bit wind blown and everything is leaning but we harvested some yummy food this week: Two Strawberries @ .5 Ounces Kale @ 12.25 Ounces 3 Artichoke @ 1 Pound 4.375 Ounces A Grand total of 2.07 Pounds The girls ate the strawberries and LOVED them - Little C keeps checking for more every time she goes outside and Big C tells her they are not ready then secretly asks if she can have the next ripe one!  For the kale I am going to try steaming it down like spinach and freezing it?!?  And I cannot wait to steam the artichoke and eat them dipped in mayonnaise - yummy! Happy Gardening All, Ash of All Trades

Sausage Potatoe Packets

Image
Here is our yummy version of a sausage potato packet...I am sure plenty of people make many varities of these and I hear they are great when camping but I like to make them at home! Use one Hillshire Farms sausage link. Cut it up into bite size pieces. Get some fresh or frozen bell peppers and onions. A few potatoes.  (4 for the four of us). Wash them. Poke holes in them. Cook for 2-3 minutes (not all the way) just enough for the cooking process to have started.  This way you don't have to wait 40 minutes for the potatoes to cook on the bbq. Add the sausage to a strip of foil. For a packet with some heat - chop a jalapeno or other chili. Add the potatoes, bell peppers, onion, (chilies) and olive oil. You can peal the potatoes or leave them whole - they get a bit crispier if you leave the skin on! Spread some garlic salt over the top. Mix with your hands to coat a bit. Cover with another piece of foil that is ni...

Big Girl Room Unveiled!

Image
So Little C decided that she would like a big girl bed.  And that she didn't want diapers. So for the last two weeks we have been redoing her room and potty training!  Now while neither one if completely done they are fully improved and fully functioning.  Her theme as shown above is owls and nature! Now this was a thrifty room makeover (and sorry but I don't have any nursery pictures on this computer!) but still expensive considering we went from crib & changing table to bed, dresser, and armoire.  We did luck out and actually gave Big C's furniture to Little C and purchased Big C a new bed, dresser, and desk from the neighbor (half of for only 9 month old furniture) LOVE IT!  Big C's room is still in progress so no pictures yet but back to Little C's room! Here we used some garland at Michael's (Buy One Get One Free) to make a unique "moulding" of sorts.  $50 and one extra garland later voila! Add in a decorative armoire with Porcelain dolls...
