An odd day to plan out next week’s menu, to be sure, but My Man offered to run to the grocery store if I put a list together. My eyes lit up and got moving to make up a menu for the week and then a list from that (give or take a few items that a child or spouse hollered out as needed or wanted).
So…here’s the plan, beginning with today:
Saturday: lunch meat for lunch (yes, I know it’s 1:15 but we all slept in…it was heavenly!). Dinner…no one is home tonight. Boys are off to work the Nissan concert (Rascal Flats), Sarah, Trey & Brett are going to see Batman. Again. And I’m going to see Mama Mia with my next door neighbor, Flo.
Sunday: Lunch out after church, hopefully with Jill., since it is their last day on the East Coast. Dinner will be london broil, baked taters and green beans.
Monday: Breakfast for dinner…eggs, bacon, biscuits, grits.
Tuesday: We’ll grab a bite out…we’re all going in different directions.
Wednesday: Last Church Family Gathering night for the summer. It’s pot luck at a friend’s house. I’m bringing Mamie’s Brownies and potato casserole.
Thursday: Leftovers and/or cereal. We LOVE cereal for dinner.
Friday: No one is home for dinner. I’ll be here. The rest of the family will be here.
Saturday: When I come home from here, we’re going to have a late lunch/early dinner. Russell is taking the kids here. I’ll be home alone (she says rubbing her hands together gleefully!).
That’s our week. It’s tuff to plan out our menus, but I am determined to do it. Don’t ask me how we’re going to do it once football practice starts every day and Sarah starts two-a-day volleyball practices. Oy.
I LOVE breakfast for dinner. The other night we did breakfast burritos with breakfast potatoes cooked with lots of chopped onion. Mmmmmm…. Now I’m hungry!>>(Could be all that swimming–just got home from the pool. I LOVE summer!)>>And you!>>Joanne

(re: your comment on my blog): I know what you mean! We love how Baby B is just chillin’. 🙂 Looks like he’s in a hammock! (I feel like A is a girl and B is a boy … I really think he has Daddy’s nose! … but we’ll find out soon, I hope!) Praying they “cooperate” at the 16-week ultrasound!
