Did everyone get back into the swing of things last week?  Classes, carpooling, basketball, music lessons…  It was good to get back into a routine.  We tend to flounder and flop if we have too much time off.

Don’t get me wrong.  We enjoyed all the flopping we did around here over Christmas break.  Somewhere in there we got completely addicted to watching 24.  I never saw this show when it was on TV, but we’ve been watching it on Netflix instant watch.  I swear, my oldest son and I saw one of the bad guys in Walmart the other day.

Back to reality… I’ve got lots of good stuff on the menu this week.  There are two slow cooker recipes and a meal you can make in about 15 minutes.

The Western Omelette Casserole calls for 1/2 each of a green and red pepper.  You can use the extras in salad  or on the French Bread Pizza.

The post for the Lemon Pepper Tilapia with Veggies calls for fixing it on the grill.  If you need to shovel to even get to your grill, you can fix it in the oven instead.  I’ve included the instructions for that on the printable recipe.

Here’s what’s on the menu this week:

1.  BBQ Chicken Sandwiches in the Slow Cooker, Quick Cole Slaw

2.  Western Omelette Casserole, fresh fruit

3.  French Bread Pizza, salad

4.  Slow Cooker Chicken and Gravy over Brown Rice, steamed veggie

5.  Bean and Cheese Enchiladas, salad, tortilla chips and salsa

6.  Lemon Pepper Tilapia with Veggies, salad, baked potatoes

7.  Gooey Turtle Bars

I am thankful for laptop computers, Netflix instant watch, scheduled posts for blogging and modern medicine.  I had surgery last Wednesday – don’t worry, I’m fine.  It’s going to take me a while to bounce back to my old self though.

Even though I won’t be doing much cooking for a while, I still have quite a few recipes ready to share with you.  And, of course there’s a menu and grocery list for this week too.

One of the meals on the menu is Roast Chicken with Garlic and Wine.  You can save yourself some time by buying and cooking 2 chickens instead of just one.  Freeze the extra meat to use in other dishes later in the week.

You might also want to buy a bigger pack of hamburger than what is on the grocery list.  Go ahead and brown it all up, freezing what you don’t need.  That will give you a head start on another meal.

Here’s the menu for this week:

• Broccoli Soup with Cheddar Muffins
• Roast Chicken with Garlic and Wine and Onions with Herbs and Wine
• Enchiladas with Chili-Tomato Sauce
• Chicken and Cheesy Rice Casserole
• Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing and Ham Steaks
• Asian Noodles with Stir-Fry Veggies
• No Bake Cookies

Are you all on a sugar high from Halloween candy?  We not only have tons of candy, but a birthday cake to eat up too.

The sad thing is, we won’t have any trouble polishing off all of the candy and cake.  The kids are in heaven.  I think I need to pull out all the Reece’s cups and hide them for myself

Don’t you wish everything on your to-do list could be as easy as click-print-shop?

At least the menu planning and grocery list making are taken care of when you use my menu plans.  I also try to keep the cooking simple.  I believe that family dinners are important, but families have lots of other things going on during the week too.  Being able to put a delicious meal on the table quickly maximizes the time you can spend together.

The menu gives you 6 dinners and 1 dessert.  There are 2 slow cooker meals and you’ll double your effort one night by making 2 meatloaves – 1 for dinner and 1 for the freezer.

Serving suggestions are included on the recipes and in curly brackets {} on the grocery list.

Here’s the menu for this week:

• Mandarin Chicken Rice Bake
• Chicken Tacos
• Bacon and Tomato Pasta
• 50s Prime Time Meatloaf
• Honey Mustard Chicken in the slow cooker
• Egg Salad Sandwiches or Grilled Cheese Sandwiches with Shaker Tomato Soup
• Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

This week’s menu includes some of my favorite foods.

Corn Chowder is a wonderful meal for the cooler weather.  I adapted it from a Frugal Gourmet recipe I found many years ago.

I could eat my weight in Winter Fruit Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing and not feel an ounce of guilt about doing so, since it is salad.

Nachos, Bowtie Festival, Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies…yum!
