Easter Menu

For the first time in our married life... Kyle and I are hosting a holiday in our home!!! I can not tell you how incredibly excited I am about this... and for those who know me personally - you know I have a tendency to go overboard. Oops... :0)

So, our Easter menu looks like this:

Brown Sugar Glazed Ham
Herb Roasted Chicken
Deviled Eggs w/ dill
Old Fashioned Potato Salad
Green Beans w/ salt pork & garlic
Mushroom Rice
Rolls

Fruit Salad w/ fresh whipped cream
Carrot Cake Cupcakes

Sweet Tea
Ice Cold Lemonade

I'm so excited to put it all together, I have the perfect dish for my fruit salad. I love Easter, and I love having full bellies in my home! Can't wait to see my baby girl go ga-ga over all those eggs and I'm sure her Uncle Aaron will be eggstatic as well ;)

I'll post pictures and any recipes after Easter!

Meal Planning - April 10-16

We were out of town this weekend and had a late lunch/early dinner with Kyle's family yesterday. Also, Reagan is going out of town this weekend and we've not made plans of any sort, so I'm leaving Friday and Saturday open to meals. So this week... I have meals planned for Monday-Thursday, and they are:

Monday - Anna's Meetballs w/ Noodles
Tuesday - French Dip Sandwiches w/ green beans
Wednesday - Salmon Croquettes w/ Rice Pilaf & Broccoli
Thursday - Beef Tips on rice w/ mushroom gravy (yes, this has been on the list for weeks now... haha!)

Well, that WAS my meal plan! I made the plan, made my list and went to the store. Got everything on my list. Fully thinking that I had plenty of meatballs in my freezer already. Get home, get to cooking, Kyle goes to get the meatballs and we have... FOUR! So... we put everything away, grabbed the fishsticks some mac and cheese and frozen broccoli and had at it! It worked... and Reagan ate fishsticks for the first time in her life and liked them! :0)

I'll post recipes as I make them - especially Anna's meatballs - can't wait to try those!!

Meal Planning - April 3 - 9

Couple of things about this coming week... 1. Last week, we didn't cook one night (sandwiches) and then we ate out one night (the WB, it's 1/2 off for us). So I have two leftover meals from last week. 2. This week, we will be traveling Thursday - Sunday, so I only need meals Sunday-Wednesday.

That said - here is my meal plan for this week!

Sunday - Tacos in Pasta Shells
Monday - Beef Tips on Rice
Tuesday - Crispy Chicken Tenders w/ green beans and Pasta Roni (yes, from 2 weeks ago still!)
Wednesday - Bacon and Sweet Onion Pasta

I'll be back next Sunday with a full weeks worth of meals! Maybe some new stuff, and no repeats even...!!

Meal Planning - March 27 - April 2

Here is my menu plan for the week.

Sunday - Eggs Benedict
Monday - Beef Fried Rice
Tuesday - Jenni's Cuban Pork w/ Black Beans and Saffron Rice (from my darling friend Jenni E.)
Wednesday - Pasta Tacos
Thursday - Beef Tips w/ mushrooms on rice
Friday - Cajun Chicken Pasta
Saturday - Steaks w/ Potatoes and salad

I'll post recipes that aren't linked (WITH PICTURES!!) as I make them :0)

** You're in for a REAL treat with Jenni's Cuban Pork - so yummy, so easy, so perfect for any night, a potluck or an evening with guests. Delish!

Meal Planning - March 20-26

I promised, and I'm delivering!!! A day late and a dollar short, but it's here!

MEAL PLANNING!!!!

Here is my menu plan for the week - I will link up recipes from other sites or as I write them up and add pictures when I can.

Sunday - Herb Roasted Whole Chicken w/ garlic butter linguine and salad
Monday - Little Caesar's Pizza (sorry... haha... had to happen tonight - I have a meeting at 7PM)
Tuesday - Fettuccine Alfredo w/ salad
Wednesday - Cornflake Chicken Tenders w/ Pasta Roni and green beans
Thursday - Kung Pao Chicken w/ white rice
Friday - BBQ Chicken Quarters w/ ranch style beans and skillet corn
Saturday - TBD - will update...

What? What did you say?! Are you mocking my Pasta Roni?! Hmph!! Did you expect me to make EVERYTHING from scratch?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Oh, no... I'm not laughing at you, sorry... I'm just, HAHAHAHAHA... wow, that was a good one, everything from scratch.... Oh, you weren't mocking me? *whew* That's good... moving on!

Yes, I serve LOTS of Pasta Roni - we LOVE it. My daughter can eat a whole box by herself. Same with Rice-A-Roni... I'll post my Kung Pao recipe now and add pictures to it Thursday or Friday! We usually go to the grocery store Friday or Saturday, so I'll post Saturday's meal once we decide.

Will this help you this week with meals? Or next week, since it's *this* week, already?!

Well... gotta get to thinking about next week... you know, a bit of advice... if you are having meal planning problems - ask for recipes from your friends on Facebook!!! I asked for a quick chicken recipe and had 20 responses within 30 minutes! Awesome networking!!!
