menu successes

I'm trying to keep up with my menu posts...partly for you, but mostly for me to remind myself what we've eaten in a week or month's time.

LAST WEEK


Monday:  Taco Skillet Rice,
which is Joanne Kinderwater's recipe in the Crossway cookbook.  Tasty and fast!  (this is date night for us, so I make something quick for the kiddos to eat)

Tuesday: Dinner out with Aunt Carol.  Delicious Hamburgers and fries at a "nice" restaurant.

Wednesday: Spaghetti and Meat Sauce, bread, salad

Thursday: Best Ever Potato Soup.  Salad. Fruit.  (Had a friend and her daughter over for dinner, and they totally agreed that the soup was the "best ever!"  Recipe from a cookbook dad gave me)

Friday: Quiche Lorraine (ham and cheese), Salad.  Fruit.

Saturday Breakfast:  French Toast, Bacon.  Fresh Grapefruit juice
               Lunch:       Crockpot Mac-n-Cheese (a Paula Deen recipe!), Fruit
               Dinner:  (kids only) Honey Mustard Chicken, egg noodles, applesauce

Sunday:  Lunch: Little Caesar's Pizza  (cheap is the word!) Fruit
              Dinner: leftovers
Also had to bring a snack to a birthday party, so I made peanut butter apple dip from a  Taste of Home recipe...just a block of cream cheese, a cup of peanut butter, a cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup milk.  Blend til smooth and serve with sliced apples.  (I pour lemon juice on my apples to keep them from browning too much).  This dip was a great find!  I'll use it again.
