menu planning monday

 

 I found a new meme to join up with! It is usually hosted at organizing junkie but from what i understand she is unplugged and out of town, you know one of those occasions guys like to call vacations. Things are a little different now that my youngest is 5 and my youngins plan and prepare the outings. But back in those ‘lots of little people days” my dear hubby just never could understand why oh why I couldn’t get excited about relaxing while camping with a newborn, 2yr old, 3 1/2 yr old and a 5 yr old.  I mean I adore my children but dirt, diapers, sleeping on the ground, sweat, lunchmeat, chips, ticks, snakes, mosquitoes, and well ya know,  uhh,  that is anything but relaxing to me. Anyway,  I am getting seriously side tracked.  Back to the meme,  this week it is hosted at heavenly homemakers . From what I understand, we are supposed to share our weekly menu. Well since menu planning is something I like to teach my daughters I will gladly join in. We usually have a general plan for the week, Georgia plans it with my help. We might switch days around but this is the general plan. If i get really on the ball I might try to add recipes.

Monday- homemade spaghetti, salad from our garden, homemade garlic breadsticks

Tuesday- steak and veg  teriyaki stir-fry with rice

Wednesday- ground beef gravy over potatoes and squash on the side

Thursday- creamed chicken and noodles with broccoli

Friday- burgers, hot dogs, potato salad- hubby thinks anything else on a holiday is illegal :)

Saturday- spaghetti , salad, bread again

those are the plans anyway- pretty much everything homemade

the smells of home

My mornings consist of starts. If I just get things started, I can stop and come back, but if I don’t at least start it I can get side tracked. So while I was starting things I could smell this incredible smell coming from the kitchen. Hannah was at it again. This morning shw was making fruit muffins. Banana muffins, blackberry muffins, apple muffins. All three, Hannah does things big. Give Hannah ingredients and she cooks. Who cared what kind of muffins they were, they smelled wonderful! Nothing smells like home more than baking smells coming from the kitchen. This homey smell makes my home a haven!
