Meal Planning Monday

By -
The weather is starting to finally come around - it might actually be SPRING!
=)

This means I can delegate some of the cooking to the grill master: my husband!

I have been CRAVING a beer can chicken, so you see it on his list...and I think he can make another meal or two, LOL!
Any time you see ** it means it was something pulled out of the freezer.

Here is the list:

Breakfast will include:
-toaster waffles (we are down to one box!)
-Yogurt (I still have 8 packs left...but have her thinking they are "pudding", LOL)
-hard boiled eggs (yes, I am slowly thawing them out)
-boxed cereal (might as well, we have 27 boxes in stock!)
-fruit crepes

Lunches as normal (sandwiches, soup, left overs, tappas plates) and for dinner...

Monday - Calico Bean Soup, breadsticks (using up that leftover Easter Ham!)
Tuesday - Fridge Clean Out!
Wednesday - (Breakfast night): Pancakes!
Thursday - Italian night: Polenta Lasagna Bake (recipe coming)
Friday - Fish sticks**, mashed potatoes and green salad
Saturday - Family Appetizer Movie Night **meatballs, tornadoes, nachos with homemade guacamole!
Sunday - Grilled pork tenderloin, mixed veggies, bread sticks
What are you going to feed YOUR family this week?

Cookie Exchange Parties are SO MUCH FUN - for a few simple reasons:You get together with your friends You make only ONE kind of cookie and finish your holiday baking, after swapping out You get new recipes You often have snacks or games!

I thought it would be fun to have a collection of 30 fun recipes to try - one a day in November - so you can be prepared for that holiday baking!

I know this sounds strange -- and yummy at the same time, LOL You need to know the family history to "get it". We are part German, part English, part Irish and part Tennessee Hillbilly. Seriously. Did you ever see that black and white movie of Gary Cooper's called Sergeant York? Yes, my family comes from the Dyer/Yorks -- same family. Some of the "family recipes" are too far out there for even me to try... But this is a pot luck favorite. SUPER Easy and SUPER Easy to make healthier. We choose the middle of the road option, LOL You need:  1 package hot dog buns (8 ct) 1 package hot dogs 2 cups chili (or 1 can) 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese "fixins" That's it! You could do gluten free or whole grain wheat buns, turkey or tofu dogs, vegetarian chili, vegan or light cheese, you get the drift. We do white buns, cut them up and place in the 9x13 pan, like you see here: Then you dice up the hot dogs
